Find an Armadillo

The next step is to find an armadillo, as it is the source of armadillo scutes. Armadillos naturally spawn in warm biomes such as Savanna and Badlands, so that’s where you should start your search.

These animals are quite shy, so if you scare them, they may curl up into a ball and stop reacting.

Use the Brush on the Armadillo

When you find an armadillo and have your brush ready, the next step is to use it on the animal. Approach the armadillo and right-click on it to start getting armadillo scutes.

While using the brush, the armadillo may get scared and curl into a ball, so it’s best to stay calm and give it a moment. Each time you use the brush, there is a chance to obtain one scute, so repeat the process until you collect the required amount.

Craft Wolf Armor Using 6 Armadillo Scutes

When you have collected enough armadillo scutes, which is 6 in total, you can move on to crafting wolf armor. Open the crafting table and place the scutes in the correct pattern: in the first column, place 3 scutes; in the second column, place 1 scute in the middle slot; and in the third column, place scutes in the middle and bottom slots.
