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 attacks. 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 [[Maturity|flowered Pikmin]] by some unknown process. This 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. Leaders, as opposed to Pikmin, do take damage from Mamuta attacks.

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==
{{guide}}

====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.

===''Pikmin'' Nintendo Player's Guide===
{{transcript|Displaying a powerful body covered with short white hair, this creature seems to enjoy the presence of beautiful flowers and other decorations. The armbandlike attachment makes one think that this creature might be intelligent, but no details are known. Usually prone to peaceful behavior, this creature will go mad when attacked and retaliate with scissorlike chopping motions of its powerful arms that bury any opponent in the ground.|block=y}}

{{transcript|If you visit the Impact Site on an even-numbered day (between Days 8 and 30), you'll encounter the mamuta on the big tree stump. If the mamuta attacks your Pikmin, it won't harm them—it will merely pound them into the ground, and your replanted Pikmin will instantly bloom into flowers.|block=y}}

===''Pikmin 2'' Nintendo Player's Guide===
{{transcript|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.|block=y}}

==Trivia==
*Interestingly, the patterns on the Mamuta's wrists are the same as the patterns on the [[Onion]]s.
*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}}
