The Armadillo is a species of animal found in Red Dead Redemption.

Description

Armadillos are a small mammal covered by a hard shell. If shot with a large caliber weapon (some rifles, all shotguns) the armadillo may explode. This will render it unable to be skinned, so the player must use caution. Shotguns, however, can be used at a farther range to prevent this. They have the shortest skinning cutscene.

Rank 4 of the Master Hunter Challenges requires that the player skins 5 boars and 3 armadillos.

Tips

Note that armadillos killed before needing them for the Master Hunter Rank 4 challenge do not count toward that challenge.
If hunted in areas with bushes or many rocks they are quite good at blending in with their surroundings. To counter this use your hearing. Whenever you approach an Armadillo it will make a pig-like sound.

Glitches
