Homebrew Armadillo-Kin Species Details

An arrow flew through the air, straight towards the heart of an unsuspecting armadillo-kin. Fortunately for the innocent victim, the arrow was shot from behind him and bounced off his hard natural armor. The armadillo-kin turned and saw a surprised bandit standing in the middle of the road. The armadillo-kin chuckled and said, "Fire me from the front, only cowards launch attacks from behind," and then shot the bandit down with a quick arrow of his own. He smiled and continued to stumble on on his awkward legs. He cursed himself and muttered that he should have bought a horse in the last town. He shakes some dust off his gray shelled back, and flicked his oval-shaped ears back, now alert for possible attackers. While the ears were occupied, he raised his head and used his long snout to sniff out what may lay ahead of him, unable to do this task with his poor eyes. After a moment of sniffs and listening, he continued on walking
