The '''Mamuta''' is an [[Piklopedia|enemy]] found in both [[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. The single Mamuta in the [[Pikmin (game)|first game]] is passive, and just stands and watches when [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] walk by; if any harm comes to it, it becomes enraged and attacks.  In ''[[Pikmin 2]]'', however, Mamutas are more aggressive, attacking Pikmin and [[captain]]s when they approach.
 
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.
 
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; 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 (on odd-numbered days, the [[Goolix]] is encountered instead), but in ''[[Pikmin 2]]'', Mamutas are only found underground, and their health is less than in ''Pikmin''. A Mamuta inside the [[Frontier Cavern]] holds the [[Brute Knuckles]], making it the only non-[[:category:bosses|boss]] enemy which carries a piece of the [[Explorer's Friend Series]], which constitutes the [[Exploration Kit]].

''"This seems to be a gentle, flower-loving creature, but if angered, it is fierce. Its mighty open-handed smack... It reminds me of the time back home when a mosquito landed on my head, and my wife tried to get it..."''

==Killing strategy==
====Pikmin====
There is no threat to your pikmin, only the problem of having to pick planted Pikmin, which can take a while without the [[Pluckaphone]] (''Pikmin 2'' only), 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 to avoid this than 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.
 
====Captains====
Although very difficult, Olimar can defeat the Mamuta by attacking him 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.
