Adam

Adam the Armadillo is an armadillo who lives in the South American landscape.

Physical Appearance

Adam is a beige armadillo with light green triangles on his body.

Personality

Being the smallest animal of all the animals in South America, Adam show a funny, but mischievous personality. He likes to take the form into a ball like all armadillos do. Being a brave armadillo show that Adam is never scared of anything.

Originally, Adam became the target of Jazz, Leopoldo, and Duddley where the three did not allow him to play football with the three, causing them to laugh. When the three began to play football together, they even used Adam as a ball until he was deployed into a cave. Later, when Jazz, Leopoldo, and Duddley noticed that, they were able to find Adam and make sure he is safe all along. When the three of them show self-improvement, they allowed Adam to play football, but with Adam physically playing football but not being used as the ball.

Later, Adam became the target of Jazz and Leopoldo, albeit with a toucan named "Taco". Adam became the target of being scared by the three animals who attempt to prank him several times, but to their attempts, they were unable to scare the armadillo. When Adam talks about the "Monster in the Forest" who is none other than Annie, his friend, she was able to teach Jazz, Leopoldo, and Taco a lesson, scaring all three of them. However, in later appearances, Adam is seen alongside with his friends Jazz and Leopoldo in groups, indicating that the two of them no longer show an antagonistic personality to him. This can imply that they became friends all along and Adam worked together.

In spite of this, Adam is also shown to be friends with Annie who, despite her big size, is capable of making friends with him. Annie also shows support to Adam in helping him cross the bridge, but Adam himself also supports Adam in clearing obstacles that are too big for the latter to squeeze through, such as rolling down a patch of cacti to provide a space suitable enough for an anaconda like Annie. Adam is also shown to be kind with Tallulah the Toucan.
