Armadillo Pet

The Armadillo Pet is a Mining Mount pet that is obtained via hatching Prehistoric Eggs. It can be ridden to break blocks in the Crystal Hollows.

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. 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 or a movement button is held, except vertical movement. When the meter reaches 0, the Armadillo will stop moving, and stamina regen will halt. The stamina of the Armadillo naturally regenerates at about 1 stamina per 3 seconds while equipped, this means it would take 300 seconds, or 5 minutes for the Armadillo to go from 0 to 100. The pet's speed while riding it is based on the player's.

When riding the pet within the Crystal Hollows, all blocks minable with a held pickaxe (excluding Cobblestone, and blocks within protected areas) in an area 3 blocks tall, 2 blocks wide and 1 block deep in front of the pet will be broken instantly. The blocks will be broken as if the player had used the tool they had been holding to break the blocks. If the held tool is not a Pickaxe or does not have enough, the blocks will not be broken. Broken blocks will be affected by, and. Gemstones mined with the Armadillo count towards Commissions. Breaking blocks does not cost energy.

Trivia

 * This used to be the only pet in the game to have five perks at Legendary rarity. It now shares this property with the Wisp Pet.
 * While holding a Drill, breaking blocks with the Armadillo Pet will use up Drill Fuel. If the Drill runs out of Fuel, blocks will still be broken, but the Drill's stats will not apply.
 * The Armadillo used to not give any gemstones when using it to mine gemstones without a proper pickaxe but breaking gemstones can still display "rolling miner granted you double drops" in chat.
 * This pet can ride minecarts.
 * Before a patch on January 13, 2022, re-equipping the Armadillo Pet increased its existing energy by 1. This was exploited to essentially give the pet unlimited energy.
