The armadillo is also known as the armored mammal.  The nine-banned armadillo ( which is the one I'm telling about ) has nine armored bands attached to its back.  If you look closely you can see.  It mostly eats bugs and certain types of plants.   I chose the armadillo because it reminds me most of medieval times and I love medieval times.
