Tips for the Armored Knight
The armadillo's shell becomes natural armor: add gray surface bands and a tiny helmet with a plume. The sword is a small flat blade with a crossguard, and a tiny shield shows an embroidered crest. The armadillo's curled tail and pointy snout give this knight its humble, lovable character.
