Armads are armadillo-like enemies that appear in Super Mario Bros. Wonder. They 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 Troopas. Some Armads have coin trails behind them.

In the Super Mario Mash-up in Minecraft: Bedrock Edition, Armadillos are replaced by Armads.
