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 ''Miurin'')</span> is an [[enemy]] found in the first two ''[[Pikmin series|''Pikmin'' games]]. ''It is fairly large, seemingly rocky and has two small eyes with dark markings around each one.  Its body is notably asymmetrical with large, muscular arms that have strange markings around the wrists, and is covers in tiny white and grey hairs. The single Mamuta in the [[Pikmin (game)|first game]] is neutral, and just stands and watches when [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] walk by; if any harm comes to it, however, it becomes enraged and attacks. In ''[[Pikmin 2]]'', however, Mamutas are more aggressive, attacking Pikmin and [[captain]]s when they approach.


The '''Mamuta''' ({{w|Help:IPA/English|/mə.ˈmu:.tə/}} ''{{w|Help:Pronunciation_respelling_key|mə-MOO-tə}}'', Japanese: {{j|ミウリン|Miurin}}) is an [[enemy]] found in {{p1}}, {{p2}}, and {{p4}}. It is fairly large, seemingly rocky and has two small eyes with indents around each one.  Its body is notably asymmetrical with large, muscular arms that have strange markings around the wrists, and it is covered in tiny white and gray hairs. The hairs are more visible in ''Pikmin 4'', and upon closer inspection in this game, the markings are actually wristbands, which also have thicker lines in this installment. The single Mamuta in the first game is neutral, and just stands and watches when [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] walk by; if any harm comes to it, however, it becomes enraged and retaliates. In ''Pikmin 2'', despite being initially so gentle that [[Unmarked Spectralids]] can land on them, Mamutas become aggressive when approached. In ''Pikmin 4'', they return to their behavior from ''Pikmin''. They are found relaxing and sometimes even purring, with [[White Spectralids|White]] and [[Yellow Spectralids]] fluttering about and resting on the Mamuta.
These creatures attack by pounding Pikmin into the ground. This doesn't kill them, but replants them and turns them into [[Pikmin family#Stages|flowered 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. With the [[Pluckaphone]], however, a Mamuta can do more good than bad, as the planted Pikmin can simply be called out of the ground.

With the [[Pluckaphone]], however, a Mamuta can do more good than bad, as the planted Pikmin can simply be called out of the ground. Leaders, as opposed to Pikmin, do take damage from Mamuta attacks.
Captains, as opposed to Pikmin, do take damage from Mamuta attacks.  In the first ''Pikmin'' game, [[Olimar]], like his Pikmin, can be pounded into the ground. This causes the creature to stop attacking and appear to relax, after emitting some odd donkey-like noises; it will only attack again if Pikmin are plucked or if it is attacked.


In ''Pikmin'', the Mamuta is found at [[The Impact Site]] on even-numbered days, starting on day 8 (on odd-numbered days, the [[Goolix]] is encountered instead), but in ''[[Pikmin 2]]'', Mamutas are only found underground, and their [[HP|health]] and weight is less than in ''Pikmin''. A Mamuta inside the [[Frontier Cavern]] holds the [[Brute Knuckles]], making it the only non-[[boss]] enemy which carries a piece of the [[Explorer's Friend Series]], which constitutes the [[Exploration Kit]].

==Behavior==
In the first ''Pikmin'' game, the creature starts off just wandering around the area randomly. If attacked, it will start raging and will attack back, smacking both [[Olimar]] and Pikmin. It can slap directly in front of itself, to the side with one hand, or slightly to the side with both. Hitting Olimar will cause the creature to stop attacking and appear to relax, after emitting some odd donkey-like noises. It will only attack again if Pikmin are plucked or if it is attacked. It will eventually get up and start walking around again. If Olimar leaves the Mamuta's range, it will swing its arms around and smash the ground to vent its anger, leading it to become neutral again.
 
In ''Pikmin 2'', they are motionless &ndash; they are so still that [[Unmarked Spectralids]] will land on them, if there are any nearby. Once a leader or Pikmin approaches however, it will enter an aggressive state, and any Unmarked Spectralids on it will fly off. Unlike in ''Pikmin'', a Mamuta in this game will not rest after attacking. If nothing is in its range after it has been alerted, it will tend to wander for awhile before becoming motionless again.
 
Their behavior in ''Pikmin 4'' is closer to how it was in the first game. They will start off relaxing, even purring, surrounded by gentle Spectralids. When enraged they will bounce up and down before pounding the player, [[Oatchi]], and Pikmin, using both its front pound, and side pounds from ''Pikmin''. After calming down, it will lumber around aimlessly. If it plants any Pikmin, it will return to sitting, getting enraged if the sprouts are plucked.


==Strategy==
===Nintendo Player's Guide===
{{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."''


==Killing strategy==
====Pikmin====
====Pikmin====
There is no threat to your Pikmin, only the problem of having to [[pluck]] planted Pikmin, which can take a while without the [[Pluckaphone]] (''Pikmin 2'' only), although it can be troublesome if the Mamuta hits the leaders, incapacitating him for a second or more. [[Throw]]ing Pikmin onto it from a distance is often more effective to avoid this than [[Group move|swarming]], unless Olimar is accompanied by a large group of Pikmin. Attacking from behind is also advantageous. [[Purple Pikmin]] allow for an especially easy defeat. One must try to be careful; some Pikmin being planted is inevitable, but if ''all'' (not possible in ''Pikmin 2'') of your army is planted, then it is likely that you will have to either resort to throwing and calling back two or three salvaged Pikmin, as the Mamuta will attempt to attack you if you pluck any more than that; or, you could be forced to use the below strategy, which is marginally simpler and much harder.

====Leaders====
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 by himself is time-consuming. In ''Pikmin 2'', this is less of a problem due to Mamutas only appearing in caves with no time limit. Also, the Mamutas in both games cause major damage to [[Olimar]] and, at least in the first game, can land multiple hits on him while he is incapacitated. This can damage him even to the point of death. Inexperienced players, beware.

==Naming==
*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.
{{naming
*Interestingly, the patterns on the Mamuta's wrists are the same as the patterns on the [[Onion]]s.
|common    = Mamuta. The name seems to have no real meaning.
*In the beta of ''Pikmin 2'', the Mamuta was meant to have a recipe, but it was scrapped and replaced to "inedible."
|jpcommon  = {{j|ミウリン|Miurin}}. This name also seems to have no real meaning.
*In ''Pikmin'', the Mamuta appears to be resistant to [[Bomb Rock]]s, taking miniscule damage when struck.
|jpname    = {{j|ミウリン|Miurin}}. It is the same as the Japanese nickname.
*In ''Pikmin 2'', the Mamuta is never seen above ground, but it has an unused seed value of 8.
|scientific = ''Hortulanus asymmetria''. ''Hortulanus'' is Latin for "gardener", referring to its tendency to grow plants, and ''asymmetria'' is a reference to its asymmetrical shape.
|internal  = The internal name in both games is simply the Japanese name ({{j|ミウリン|Miurin}}), although written as <code>miulin</code> instead of <code>miurin</code> in ''Pikmin 2''.
|prerelease = Its scientific name in the GameCube Interactive Multi-Game Demo Disc Version 18 is ''Mamuta''.{{cite web|https://tcrf.net/Proto:Pikmin_2/Piklopedia_Entries#056_-_Mamuta|Proto:Pikmin 2/Piklopedia Entries|The Cutting Room Floor}}

==Trivia==
*Interestingly, the patterns on the Mamuta's wrists are the same as the patterns on the [[Onion]]s. This may suggest some deeper relation to Pikmin as a species.
*In ''Pikmin'', the Mamuta appears to be resistant to [[bomb rock]]s, taking minuscule damage when struck.
*The Mamuta's recipe is very different in the Japanese Version, instead saying to be quick about boiling it as it spoils quickly, but to be kept for 2-3 days when boiling. Coincidentally, the early recipe for the Mamuta is exactly the same as the Japanese version.{{cite web|http://tcrf.net/Pikmin_2/Early_English_Script/Louie%27s_Notes#Mamuta|Pikmin 2/Early English Script/Louie's Notes|The Cutting Room Floor}}
* In ''Pikmin 2'', if there are 99 Pikmin buried in the same area or sublevel, then it will be impossible for a Mamuta to bury the 100th Pikmin. That Pikmin will simply get knocked back.{{cite youtube|klaIcvk5P_U|showing it is impossible for a Mamuta to bury more than 99 Pikmin}}
* Mamutas will try to pound [[Glow Pikmin]] into the ground even though that type is impossible to bury: the Glow Pikmin will only stay embedded for a few seconds before popping up, and unlike other Pikmin types, they do not gain flowers from the Mamuta's burial. This interaction can be observed in the first sublevel of [[The Mud Pit]].
** Also in the same sublevel, if a Mamuta pounds Pikmin onto a hard surface (in this case, frozen [[mud]]), this will knock back the Pikmin instead of killing it.
