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 | 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}}.

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. | These creatures attack by pounding Pikmin into the ground.

There is no threat to your Pikmin, only the problem of having to [[pluck]] planted Pikmin, which can take a while without the [[Pluckaphone | 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. | ||

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. In '' | Although very difficult, Olimar can defeat the Mamuta by attacking it from behind.

In ''Pikmin 4'', Mamutas don't hurt the Captains or the Pikmin unless they have been attacked. | |||
