 Armataurs are a somewhat easy species to play. They have low [[EV]] and slightly below average aptitudes, but have high HP and a neat rampaging bonus. In general, Armataurs are well suited for both melee and magic play.
-Armataurs may have reduced AC from Deformed, but their natural skin, [[barding]]s, and aforementioned HP help make up for that. If you are wearing [[scale mail]] or lower, Armataur's Tough Skin bonus cancels out the negatives from Deformed. Even with [[plate armour]], the net AC loss is quite small (only -2 AC compared to regular species).

 *'''[[Rollpage]] 1''': Armataurs have innate [[rampaging]] - when moving in a straight line towards an enemy, they get a free move.

-{{CBA|0.33|Armataurs will have level 2 [[Armoured Tail]]s, but their aux damage won't change. Also, their Armour aptitude will be changed from +2 to +3, to compensate the Deformed Body-Armour skill interaction change.}}
+*Prior to [[0.33]], Armataurs had a +2 Armour aptitude, but the Armour skill ignored [[Deformed]] for determining AC bonus. Also, they only had 1 level of Armoured Tail (which did the same damage).
 *In [[0.31]], Armataurs were reworked. Prior to this version:
 **Armataurs had Long Tongue (doubled potion effects) and Awkward Tongue ([[scroll]]s took 50% longer to read). Note that doubled potion effects had a few special cases: for example, the [[potion of might]] only doubled the duration, not doubled the damage from might. Also, the potion's duration was still capped at 80 turns, so it was often less than "double" duration in practice. See [http://crawl.chaosforge.org/index.php?title=Armataur&oldid=76915#Long_Tongue this revision] for details.
