The '''Mamuta''' ({{j|ミウリン|Miurin}}) is an [[enemy]] found in the first two [[Pikmin series|''Pikmin'' games]] and ''Pikmin 4''. 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 covered in tiny white and gray 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 {{p2}}, despite being initially so gentle that [[Unmarked Spectralids]] can land on them, Mamutas become aggressive when approached.

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 arena randomly. If attacked, it will start raging and will attack back, smacking both [[Olimar]] and Pikmin. 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 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 approach 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.

==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 a [[Pikmin 2 prerelease information|prototype version 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 minuscule damage when struck.
*In ''Pikmin 2'', the Mamuta is never seen above ground, but it has an unused seed value of 8.
*The Burrowing Snagret's recipe in the Japanese version of Louie's notes is strikingly similar to that of the Mamuta's American notes, stating it's "like grilled chicken". Because of this, 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, even changing it from inedible to edible.{{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}}
