Dillon's Rolling Western

Dillon made his first and currently appearance in Dillon's Rolling Western as the main protagonist and playable character in the game. Dillon and his partner Russ become rangers to earn money. They need the money to pay for the deed of their childhood home, which an anonymous character (later revealed to be Rin Kong) owns.

The duo's first job is to protect ten villages in the plains from the mysterious rock monsters, the Grocks, which eat the villages' main livestock, the Scrogs.

Throughout his adventure, Dillon meets various characters, collects many items, and defends each village from the Grocks.

Dillon's Rolling Western: The Last Ranger

A year later, Dillon and Russ once again defend villages and a train from a return of the grocks.

Characteristics

Physical Appearance

Dillon is an armadillo. He has red armor that begins on his head and ends at his tail; the armor contains six bands that are tangent to his back. His skin is goldenrod and visibly rough. His nose protrudes forward into a snout, and his eyes are blue. He noticeably has a small scar under his left eye, though it is unknown how he obtained it. He wears a cyan and yellow bandana tied around his neck.

Dillon has two relatively long arms that each end in three sharp, brown claws covered by a glove. Around his waist, he wears a leather belt that contains a holster, shown to carry a radio-like device that alows him to communicate with Russ. He has two small legs compared to the rest of his body, donning boots most of the time.

Personality

Russ characterizes Dillon as the "strong, silent type", as evidenced by the first time Russ introduces Dillon. The "silent" part is further evidenced by the fact that Dillon has no speaking roles, only a simple "......" when introduced. Besides Russ' statements about Dillon, he is never given a concrete personality besides being persistent and often mute besides his shouts on the plain or in battle. After defending Last Stand, Russ tells Dillon that he should speak for once. It is unknown if he will ever speak in the sequel. When eating dinner, when there are vegetables on his plate, he will not eat them, which can be explained as armadillos prefer to eat insects.
