|introduction=The '''Pink Fairy Armadillo''' is a type of mammal [[Friend]] that debuted in the original [[Kemono Friends (2015 Mobile Game)|Kemono Friends mobile game]]. She has since been redesigned and has appeared in [[Kemono Friends Pavilion]].
|appearance=Pink Fairy Armadillo has long, straight white hair with a braided crown that fades to pink. Her side bangs and ponytail are also tipped with a pale pink. She has a long set of pink scales that go over the top of her head and run down the back of her ponytail, which is held in place by a hairband with a large translucent blue ribbon that appears like fairy wings. Her eyes are a reddish brown with light green highlighting. She has a small pink armadillo tail.

Her old design has pink hair, with a white braided crown and side bangs. Instead of a line of scales, the entire ponytail is pink and the ribbon isn’t translucent. Her eyes are fully green, as is the ribbon on her one piece outfit, which appears more like a dress. She wears fluffy white arm warmers with pink scales on them and strapless pink shoes with white pom poms and bands above them.

|reallife=The smallest of the armadillo family, the Pink fairy armadillo is endangered. It lives in parts of Argentina and other areas in South America and is currently threatened by destruction of its habitat and by domestic dogs. It is the only armadillo which has a dorsal shell that is almost completely separate from the body. It digs so fast it can bury itself in its burrow in seconds when threatened, the armor plate functioning as a cork to seal the entrance to the burrow.
The Pink fairy armadillo lives in central Argentina, and occurs south of Mendoza province and north of Rio Negro as well as south of Buenos Aires. They inhabit dry grasslands or sandy plains with cactus and thorn bushes.
The Pink fairy armadillo is generally solitary and nocturnal, staying protected underground and only coming out to feed at night. In captivity they remain active all day round. It digs burrows beside large ant colonies to provide a constant source of food. They are amazing diggers, moving sand with their large front claws effortlessly. They move underground like swimming through water. The Pink fairy armadillo has very small eyes and relies greatly on hearing and touch to navigate. This species is forced to leave it burrow at the time of heavy storms because of the threat of drowning and getting its fur wet, as wet fur may cause an armadillo to die because it can't thermoregulate properly, and hypothermia may arise during night hours.
These armadillos are omnivores, feeding mainly on ants (insectivores). Sometimes they will eat worms, snails, and a variety of plant and root materials.
Because they are rare, little is known about the reproductive behavior of Pink fairy armadillos. They are solitary and may be polygynous, meaning that one male has exclusive mating rights with a number of females. Usually one young is born. The shell will not be completely hardened until the animal is fully grown.
Habitat conversion as a result of agriculture (the plowing of fields) and compaction of soil from cattle ranching are probably the main threats facing this species, but predation by domestic dogs and cats is also a factor in its decline. The species is also poached for the pet trade or to sell on the black market, though most specimens taken from the wild will die within 8 days.
|trivia=* The Pink fairy armadillo has the nickname of "sand-swimmer" because it can burrow through soil as quickly as a fish swimming in the sea.
* The hard shell of this species is made up of 24 bands that enable it to curl up into a ball. Its armor is flattened at the rear so it is able to compress the dirt behind while digging.
