NBT Tags for Armadillo in Minecraft (Java Edition 1.20.5+)
This Minecraft tutorial explains the NBT tags (formerly called data tags) that you can use for an armadillo in Minecraft Java Edition (PC/Mac) 1.20.5+.
Background
In Minecraft Java Edition 1.20.5+, the entity value for an armadillo is armadillo. The armadillo entity has a unique set of data tags that can be used in Minecraft commands such as: /summon and /data.
What are NBT tags (formerly called Data Tags)?
NBT tags allow you to set certain properties of an entity (such as armadillo). The NBT tag is always surrounded in {} such as {state:scared}. If there is more than one NBT tag used in a game command, the NBT tags are separated by a comma such as {state:scared, CustomName:"\"Dylan the Armadillo\""}.

NBT Tag Examples
To summon an armadillo that is scared and rolled up:
/summon armadillo ~ ~ ~ {state:scared}
To summon an armadillo that is named Dylan the Armadillo:
/summon armadillo ~ ~ ~ {CustomName:"\"Dylan the Armadillo\""}
Target Selectors
Before we finish discussing data tags, let's quickly explore how to use the @e target selector. The @e target selector allows you to target entities in your commands. If you use the type=armadillo value, you can target armadillos:
@e[type=armadillo]
Target Selector Examples
To change the nearest armadillo to a scared state where it is rolled up:
/data merge entity @e[type=armadillo,limit=1,sort=nearest] {state:scared}
To kill all armadillos:
/kill @e[type=armadillo]
