'''Armads''' are desert-dwelling armadillo enemies introduced in ''[[Super Mario Bros. Wonder]]''. They can curl into a ball to quickly roll down [[slope]]s and across sandy terrain. Armads are covered in orange plating and appear to have a black-colored underbelly. While walking their armor appears to have two bands, but they are revealed to have four when they curl up. Their eyes are surrounded by a black mask-like pattern that is reminiscent of {{wp|eye protection|protective sand goggles}} and gives them an unhappy expression. They apparently keep their heads raised and breath through their nose as they walk through the desert.<ref name=kai>{{cite|author=Kai, editor|date=9 Feb. 2024|url=www.nintendo.com/jp/topics/article/3c24e9ec-6583-401a-a5ab-818180c2c0a8|title=マリオたちの行く手を阻む。フラワー王国の個性豊かな敵キャラクターをご紹介。～その2～【ワンダーの世界へ Vol.14】|publisher=Nintendo Official Site|language=ja|accessdate=15 Jan. 2025}}</ref> The way Armads curl keeps their nostrils exposed to the air, as visible in the center of their body.

'''Armads''' are armadillo-like enemies that appear in ''[[Super Mario Bros. Wonder]]''.
 
The English name "Armad" likely comes from the first part of "armadillo," alluding to the basis of their design. Their ability to curl into a ball may derive from {{wp|Tolypeutes|three-banded armadillo}}s, the only real armadillos capable of doing so. Curled Armads are physically reminiscent of {{wp|paddle tire}}s.

Armads first appear in the [[Sunbaked Desert]] level [[Armads on the Roll]]. Upon seeing a player, an Armad will curl up into a ball and roll at the player. If an Armad is on a slope, it will roll down it. If a player jumps on an Armad, it will be rolled up and can be picked up and thrown, just like [[Koopa Troopa]]s. Some Armads have [[coin]] trails behind them.
Armads appear only in the [[Sunbaked Desert]] course [[Armads on the Roll]] and the [[Special World]] one [[Sunbaked Desert Special Pole Block Allure]]. Armads slowly walk back and forth on flat terrain, be it solid [[ground (block)|ground]] or [[soft sand|sand]]. When a player character enters their line of sight, they curl into balls and speedily roll at them. Direct contact damages the player character, but they stop when [[stomp]]ed. Armads remain curled when stomped, allowing the player to pick them up and toss them like a [[Koopa Shell]]. Armads also curl up into balls and roll when they reach slopes, regardless of whether a player character is in front of them. Some rolling Armads are trailed by lines of [[coin]]s, and one is trailed by a [[10-flower coin]] in Sunbaked Desert Special Pole Block Allure. Though the
 
Though Armads on the Roll and Sunbaked Desert Special Pole Block Allure are the only courses to feature the enemy, they also appear on the overworld of the Sunbaked Desert.
