Armadillo GTA 6 wildlife
An armoured digger Rockstar named as one of the non-native animals you can find in Leonida.
Rockstar picked out the armadillo, alongside monkeys, as one of the non-native animals that have made Leonida their home. Armadillos are small armoured diggers that root through soil for insects, mostly around dawn, dusk and night.
Farmland and woodland edges suit them best, so start in the fields around the sugar cane of Ambrosia and the forest trails of Mount Kalaga. They are nearly blind but hear well, so a slow approach gets you close enough to study one. Rarity and exact spawn spots go in on launch day.
