RoseofGilead.8907 Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 https://www.guildwars2.com/en/news/rumble-the-road-with-a-tremor-armadillo/Firstly, kudos for the skin. It's adorable and fits well with the roller beetle mount. But it looks a lot more like a Pangolin than an armadillo.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pangolin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Randulf.7614 Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 But, yes it does look more like a pangolin.Which are also smooth on the inside and crunchy on the outside.......allegedly..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly, my first thought was of the zefrank True Facts video about armadillos. :pI immediately thought of an old web-comic I read many years ago called Chugworth Academy.They find a baby armadillo and it's really cute.Some may find it offensive, or insulting, but armadillo is mispronounced by a specific character as being almadirro (intended in a humorous manner in keeping with the character's consistent mispronunciations).One character's visualization of the armadillo is described as if it were a super weapon with its 'attributes' highlighted in an infographic.I thought it was pretty awesome.As for this new skin for the beetle, I do not see it as being anything like an armadillo. This makes me sad as an armadillo skin (that actually resembles an armadillo) would be fantastic. As this one exists and is called an armadillo while not being an armadillo, an actual armadillo skin is pretty much not going to happen. :\ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd love to see a skin that looks more like an actual armadillo (well, giant armadillo), but since this one was dubbed an "armadillo", we probably won't get one.

Cragga the Eighty Third.60 Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 I was hoarding up a bunch of gems hoping not to spend them any time soon. That hope has been dashed. XD Super-cute, and had to own it, but also hoping for some less expensive skins coming out soon which retain the beetle's natural adorability.

Randulf.7614 Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 I wont be getting one yet though. 2k gems is a lot so soon after the the original skin which i rather like. Maybe payday if it is still up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
notebene.3190 Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 I thought of 'This is Spinal Tap', but I'm not going to bother digging up a clip for that. :3 It's a great skin. I can't afford it these days, still saving for the slim possibility an outfit I like shows up some day, or character slots go on sale, but it's a great skin and I look forward to seeing a lot out there.I tend to enjoy things like that more when I don't have them (wanting v having, and all that).

Palador.2170 Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 I guess it's cute and all, but I'm still holding out hope for a "Charrley Davidsson" skin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Omega.6801 Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 There's something off putting with the eyes, they don't seem fitting for me. But to each their own, will hold my gems for something I like more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashantara.8731 Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 I don't like the skin. I want a BEETLE, not some cutesy thingy. Hopefully, they will release beetle skins soon, with cool patterns and the proper amount of dye channels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danikat.8537 Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 It definitely looks more like a pangolin than an armadillo.And to further the confusion if I could afford it I'd dye it blue and pretend it's a hedgehog. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fizzypetal.7936 Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 The dredge have machines to travel in. With that in mind, can we have a Harley Davidsonesque Trike Beetle Skin? The Beetle being the fat 'front tire' so to speak? Harley Beetleson would be a pretty epic mount in my world... :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MokahTGS.7850 Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 The head is Armadillo, but the body is pangolin. I blame free floating ley line magic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tachenon.5270 Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 I like it. Very nice. I'd be sorely tempted to buy it -- at about half that asking price. Instead, I'll hold out for a tumbleweed skin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayakaru.6583 Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 I like armadillo’s, but its face makes when to start rolling so it wraps up, and never stop rolling, knowing its face would be forever hidden Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
