Rolls into a protective ball when it feels threatened. Or when its mother calls.
As a collector, I personally like to get specific breed of my pets, and on the case of this little guy, I find it very upsetting the fact It has two possible breeds and you are stuck with wichever one you get first. You cant buy a second one (you can only have one) and you can't abandon your current one either. Blizzard should think a little more before doing something like that.
@aguiaazul: The Stone Armadillo can have the same breeds as the Armadillo Pup and both have the same abilities, so whichever breed you don't get from the Armadillo Pup can be picked up via the Stone Armadillo.
After trying the epl cave, zg and the sheep and being in a semi small guild (50ish) and me being about the only pet collector in my guild, theres a sweet spot in Krasarang Wilds http://www.wowhead.com/npc=58883 (feverbite)"elite" spider that calls upon a load of critters, i used my mage kept poly on it and killed the critters, surrounding trees also have critters much better wit 2, 1 tank the spider other kill critters surrounding the tree. Only took a few hours.
I managed to kill about 10k critters every 45 mins in the zg area (in a 5 man group)
One important note: there is a (horde?) quest in this spot that kills everyone there :)
Another good spot is the spider tunnel you come to in EPL when working on Mr. Grubbs
Deeprun tram on the Stormwind side is great for this. I grabbed a guildie and we each took a side. Got the last couple thousand rats in an afternoon.Â
Plus any time someone asked what I was doing I just said "Killin rats." Nothing funnier than a gnome monk spinning around over hundreds of dead rodents.
Go to Ihgaluk Crag on Isle of Thunder and squish roaches, and you can solo this achieve. You should be able to kill 300-400 roaches every 15 minutes or so.
This was post Uldum sheep nerf, so i tested out a few places solo to see how quickly things could be killed and respawned.
I eventually settled on the snake boss room in ZG, and we did it in a little over an hour with 5-13 people -- varied during the course of it.
Respawns were constant, and killing speed was superfast with a macro.
Update: Grouping no longer multiplies kills per critter.
I agree with Aguiaazul - I ended up with an H/S on my first roll and that's what I'm stuck with now. Super sadness!
@Miauzinha are you sure you used a blue upgrade stone? Or... that that is the only pet you captured?
I just have used a critter battle stone on him (mine is green quality) and it didn't become blue quality. Is it a bug?
This, and the Stone Armadillo are probably 2 of the ugliest pets on looks alone, but now that I have them I adore them. They make the CUTEST noises on click and during battles. And rolling up in a ball is super cute too. Battle wise, we'll have to see :)
So now with patch 5.0whatever I have this pet available to me from a diff toon, opposing faction, diff server. I'm having to rethink my WHOLE strategy on pet collecting. :/
Fyi, armory update is no longer a viable way to update one's collection here :(
Anyway, it's FILLED with buggies to kill. My baddie and I walked through spamming AOEs and went from 800 to 2300 in an afternoon. Another good place is the deeprun tram. the rats re-spawn really fast there.
