The '''Mamuta''' ( | The '''Mamuta''' <span style="line-height:20px;">(</span><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Verdana,sans-serif;line-height:19px;">ミウリン) </span>is a peculiar [[:Category:enemies|enemy]] found in the first two ''[[Pikmin series|''Pikmin'' games]]. ''It is fairly large, and has two small eyes with dark markings around each one. Its body is notably asymmetricaland is covers in tiny white and grey hairs. It has markings on its arms, hinting it might be sentient. In the [[Pikmin (game)|first game]], it just stands and watches when [[Pikmin (species)|Pikmin]] walk by. If any harm comes to it, however, it becomes enraged and pounds the Pikmin into the ground. This doesn't kill them, but replants them and turns them into flower Pikmin by some unknown process, which can be used to one's advantage, though it can get very annoying when it comes to plucking the Pikmin if one is in a hurry. However, with the [[Pluckaphone]], a Mamuta can do more good than bad, as the planted Pikmin can simply be called out of the ground. | ||
[[Captains]], as opposed to Pikmin, do take damage, although only a small amount, and are similarly pounded into the ground. In the first ''Pikmin'' game, this causes the creature to stop attacking and appear to relax; it will only attack again if Pikmin are plucked or if it is attacked. | |||
The Mamuta is found at [[The Impact Site]] on even-numbered days (on odd-numbered days, the [[Goolix]] is encountered instead), starting on Day 8. In ''[[Pikmin (game)|Pikmin]]'', the Smoky Progg is considered to be an unhatched larval form of Mamuta, although this claim is yet to be proved correct. | |||
In ''[[Pikmin 2]]'', Mamutas are only found underground, and are more aggressive, attacking any Pikmin that approach them. Their health is less than in the first Pikmin, yet their attacks have the same effect as previously. A Mamuta inside the [[Frontier Cavern]] holds the [[Brute Knuckles]], making it one of the only non-boss enemies which carries a piece of the [[Explorer's Friend Series]], which constitutes the [[Exploration Kit]]. | |||

==Notes== | |||
===Olimar's Voyage Log=== | |||
''"This seems to be a gentle, flower-loving creature, but if angered, it is fierce. Its mighty open-handed smack... It reminds me of the time back home when a mosquito landed on my head, and my wife tried to get it..."'' | |||
===Reel notes=== | |||
''"This creature seems fond of flowers, but only for their decorative properties."'' | |||
===Olimar's Notes=== | |||
''"The imbalanced, asymmetrical arms of the mamuta are among its most notable features. Feeding on seeds and fruit, the mamuta is known to actually sow and grow plant species. While other species have exhibited seed-burying behavior for the purpose of storage, the mamuta is the only species so far known to actually cultivate fields of plants."'' | |||
===Louie's Notes=== | |||
''"Inedible. Tastes like chicken."'' | |||
===Nintendo Player's Guide=== | |||
''"A mamuta cannot defeat a Pikmin, but it can pound the trooper into the ground with its heavy arms. In fact, one rock beast can bury several Pikmin with a single blow. After you defeat the Mamuta with flying attacks, be sure to pluck your buddies from the soil-their tops will be in full bloom."'' | |||
== | ==Battle Strategy== | ||
===Pikmin=== | |||
There is no threat, only the problem of having to pick planted Pikmin, which can take a while without the ''Pikmin 2'' exclusive [[Pluckaphone]], although it can be troublesome if the Mamuta hits the captain, incapacitating him for a second or more. Throwing Pikmin onto it from a distance is often more effective than swarming, unless Olimar is accompanied by a large group of Pikmin. Attacking from behind is also advantageous. Don't use [[Bomb Rock|bomb rocks]] on it; they do very little damage. | |||
===Captains=== | |||
Although very difficult, Olimar can defeat the Mamuta by attacking it from behind. However, it is recommended that Olimar uses Pikmin, as attacking the Mamuta alone is very time-consuming. | |||
===Pikmin 2=== | |||
The same strategy for the first game applies here, except now there is less rush since they are now cave-exclusive enemies. Purple Pikmin work well for defeating the Mamuta. It should be noted that the Mamuta is easier to beat with Captains as well. | |||

==Trivia== | ==Trivia== | ||
*According to the [[Creature Montage]], the [[Smoky Progg]] is believed to be the larval form of the Mamuta, which is ironic since the Smoky Progg is hostile while the Mamutas are generally peaceful. Interestingly, in Challenge Mode, the Mamuta is found at the Distant Spring, the same area that the Smoky Progg is found at in the Story Mode. | |||
*Using an Action Replay to access a model test menu in ''Pikmin'', the Mamuta's code name is "miurin". | |||
*Interestingly, the patterns on the Mamuta's wrists are the same as the patterns on the [[Onion]]s. | |||
*In the beta of ''Pikmin 2'', the Mamuta was meant to have a recipe, but it was scrapped and replaced to "inedible." | |||
*In ''Pikmin'', the Mamuta appears to be resistant to [[Bomb Rock]]s, taking miniscule damage when struck.{{harmless enemies}}{{Enemies}} | |||
