Armagon
A hybrid of Armadillo + Pangolin
The Armagon is a unique hybrid species exhibiting the robust, armored physique of an armadillo combined with the scaly, protective features of a pangolin. Its body is covered in overlapping, hardened scales that shimmer in shades of brown and green, providing excellent camouflage within its forested habitat. The Armagon possesses a long, prehensile tail used for balance and defense, while its strong limbs, equipped with sharp claws, are adept at digging and climbing. Its keen sense of smell helps it locate food sources in the underbrush.
