Mob Vote: Armadillo

What’s that little brown block I see? Oh! That’s not a block – it’s one of the new mobs that wants to join Minecraft: the armadillo!

The armadillo calls the vast desert of the savannah biome its home, plodding serenely between the long grass – unless you surprise it! Just like a few of its real-world counterparts, the armadillo can roll into a blocky ball if startled – which looks just as cute as it sounds. The armadillo also drops a special scute, which you can use to craft something new: Wolf armor! Like horse armor, wolf armor will give your four-legged friend some extra defense. Perfect if you and your favorite pet tend to get surprised by skeletons after nightfall!

Do you want the armadillo to be the next mob to roll into Minecraft? Then cast your vote! The mob vote opens at 1 pm EDT October 13, and closes at 1:15 pm EDT on October 15. The winner will then be announced during Minecraft Live, which starts at 1 pm EDT on October 15!
