Armadillo Pet

The Armadillo Pet is a Mining Mount pet that is obtained via hatching Prehistoric Eggs.

Obtaining
The Armadillo hatches from Prehistoric Eggs after walking a certain amount of steps to hatch it.

Usage
The Armadillo Pet takes the form of a head on the ground when summoned. It will attempt to follow the player around, but it moves extremely slowly. The pet's speed is based on the player's. If the pet is too far away, it may teleport to its owner.

Right-clicking the pet allows the player to mount it, allowing them to control its movements. The pet has an Energy meter which appears above the XP bar when riding; this meter depletes when the Armadillo moves, except when moving backwards, jumping or falling. When the meter reaches 0, the Armadillo will stop moving. The stamina of the Armadillo naturally regenerates at about 1 stamina per 3 seconds, this means it would take 300 seconds, or 5 minutes for the Armadillo to go from 0 to 100. Re-equipping the Armadillo Pet increases its existing energy by 1.

Gemstones mined with the Armadillo count towards Commissions. Breaking blocks does not cost energy.
