The release of Minecraft's 1.20.5 Armored Paws update brings players the adorable armadillo mob. To help you find them right away in your survival world, I'll show you where Armadillos can spawn in Minecraft.
Where do armadillos spawn in minecraft?
In Minecraft, there are two types of biomes in which Armadillos will spawn naturally. The first of them is the trio of Badlands biomes. This includes the regular Badlands biomes and the Eroded and Forested Badlands.

The second type of biome they will create in is the Savannah. They spawned in regular Savannas, Savanna Plateaus, and Windswept Savannas. I had the best luck in Savannah Plateau, where I found a small family of four Armadillos.
Armadillo behaviors in Minecraft
When approaching Armadillos, be sure not to run or ride anything near them, including horses. This will cause them to roll to avoid you. If you stun them, they will unroll in about four seconds if you stop running or riding.
Instead, I've found that the easiest way to befriend them is to slowly approach them. Later, spider eyes can be used to lure them back to your base.
What are Armadillos good for?
Besides just looking very, very pretty, Armadillos will drop Scutes. These will be dropped by the creatures either naturally every few minutes or so as they walk around, or you can use a brush to get rid of them a little faster. Scats can be used to make Wolf Armor, which not only protects your favorite four-legged friends, but can also be dyed to give your wolf pack a fashionable flair.
