There are some geckos that can slough off their top layer of skin to escape when a predator grabs them, but Lenny is clearly an armadillo so I don't know why I even mention that.

quote:

Smells from other armadillos also have potential to attract armadillos. It is believed that armadillos communicate with one another through odors they emit through their anal scent glands. Odors produced by the scent glands of one armadillo may stimulate the curiosity of another.

I cannot loving believe this is a real thing

Not true. Mole Man calls it an "armadillo-like beast" and the narrator calls it an "armadilloid" so it is canonically an armadillo monster!!

Because armadillos are always covered with individual scales. It's clearly a pangolin.

I really, sincerely hope that the next six months of this comic consist of Spidey and Mole Man fighting a succession of poorly drawn Kirby monsters.

What the gently caress

Why would he follow his own scent

He's not even an armadillo! I live in Texas, I see Texas speed bumps armadillos all the time, he looks nothing like state animal road pizza an armadillo!

Scaled anteaters are called pangolins

It's actually the tail you have to look out for; they thrash it around when threatened (on the rare occasion they don't just curl up into an armored ball). The claws are for busting open termite mounds and tearing bark off trees to get at them tasty, tasty bugs

Pangolins are also endangered because traditional SE Asian medicine etc. Save them, they cool.
