A burrowing animal covered with bony plates that act as armor is called an armadillo. In Spanish, the word "armadillo" means "little armored one".
Yes, armadillos have armor consisting of bony plates. The armor is formed by plates of dermal bone covered in relatively small, overlapping epidermal scales called "scutes", composed of bone with a covering of horn. Most species have rigid shields over the shoulders and hips, with a number of bands separated by flexible skin covering the back and flanks. Additional armor covers the top of the head, the upper parts of the limbs, and the tail. The underside of the animal is never armored, and is simply covered with soft skin and fur.

First armor was out of animal leather coats - same time the fire was invented.
They had no problem. The Roman armor was a cuirass or a chain mail shirt. It covered only as far as the hips or slightly below.
