The '''Mamuta''' is an ancient [[:Category:enemies|enemy]] found in both ''[[Pikmin series|Pikmin games]]''. It is fairly large, seemingly rocky or clothy, and has two small eyes with dark markings around each one. Its body is notably asymmetrical. It has markings on its arms, hinting it is part 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. It lacks In the ability to murder. The patterns on its wrists seem reminiscent of the Legend of Zelda and/or the onions fat waist,which is notably missing in Pikmin three. Could this be due to the markings being similar to their hieroglyphics but with a different meaning so the Koppains erased it thinking it was an anti-religious insult tattooed by other superman? Who knows, that's for your family to find out.
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.


[[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.
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.


The Mamuta is found at [[The Impact Site]] on even-numbered days (on odd-numbered days, the [[Goolix]] is encountered instead). In [[Pikmin (game)|Pikmin 1]], 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]].
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==
*For [[Pikmin 2]] notes, see [[List of notes, recipes, and sales in Pikmin 2 #Mamuta|here]].
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.


==Killing Strategy==
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.
===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===
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.
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===
==Strategy==
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.
{{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.

==Trivia==
==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.


*The Mamuta Piklopedia entry states that it cultivates plants to eat them, which may be why it smashes Pikmin into the ground, giving them flowers in the process.
==See also==
*[[Smoky Progg]] &ndash; A malformed larval Mamuta.
*[[Goolix]]


*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.
==References==
*Using an Action Replay to access a model test menu in Pikmin 1, the Mamuta's code name is "miurin".

*The Mamuta is an optional boss in Pikmin, appearing on day 8 and every even day afterwards.
*The Mamuta first appears on Day 8 and it takes 8 Pikmin to carry it. {{Enemies}}
