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 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 light gray fur. The hairs are only visible in ''Pikmin 4'', with them appearing more rock-like in past games, and upon closer inspection, the markings on its arms are actually wristbands. 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, before quickly returning to is previously docile nature. In ''Pikmin 2'', despite being initially so gentle that [[Unmarked Spectralids]] can land on them, Mamuta 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 instead buried them in the ground, turning them back into sprouts and [[Maturity|fully flowering them]] in the 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), while in ''[[Pikmin 2]]'', Mamutas are only found underground, and sport significantly less [[HP|health]] 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]].

{{refs|note}}

== 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, low-pitched metallic squeak-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. Exclusively in this game, a Mamuta's attack will knock off any Pikmin latched onto its body, allowing for the creature to far more easily combo Pikmin attacking it into getting buried.

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.

== Locations ==
=== ''Pikmin'' ===
==== Areas ====
*[[The Impact Site]] - Spawns after day 7, on every even-numbered day
**There is one Mamuta in this area. It is located in the segment past the [[cardboard box]] and in the base of the large tree trunk, with a [[white reinforced wall]] on the opposite side of this arena. On odd numbered days, starting on day 9, a [[Goolix]] will be here instead.

==== Challenge Mode ====
*[[The Distant Spring]]
**There is one Mamuta in this challenge mode stage. It can be found slightly northeast of the landing site, directly east of the body of water and adjacent to a Red 10-[[pellet]].

=== ''Pikmin 2'' ===
==== Caves ====
*[[Frontier Cavern]]
**Four can be seen on sublevel 5, with one holding the [[Brute Knuckles]].
*[[Cavern of Chaos]]
**Two can be seen on sublevel 3.
*[[Hole of Heroes]]
**Two can be seen on sublevel 5.

==== Challenge Mode ====
*[[Trampled Garden]]
**Two can be seen on sublevel 1, each holding a [[Lustrous Element]].

=== ''Pikmin 4'' ===
==== Areas ====
*[[Blossoming Arcadia]]
**There is one Mamuta in this area. It is located on the raised area east of the Misshapen Pond base. This raised area can be accessed by leaving the [[Sightless Passage]] via the exit fan. The Mamuta shares this space with two [[Yellow Spectralids]] that can land on the Mamuta's body. It holds the [[Shake-a-Smile]].

==== Caves ====
*[[The Mud Pit]]
**There is one Mamuta on sublevel 1. It can be found towards the northeast, on a large island which can be reached via a [[tunnel]]. This Mamuta shares the island with multiple [[Spectralids]] and defeating it yields the [[Crunchy Deluge]].

==== Olimar's Shipwreck Tale ====
*[[Sun-Speckled Terrace]]
**There is one Mamuta in this tale's area. It is located on the raised area east of the Meandering Slope base. The Mamuta can be reached by travelling up the slope towards the east. The Mamuta is near some more Spectralids, and is near a yellow [[clipboard]] weighing 20.

== 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]]/[[Plucking Whistle]] (''Pikmin 2'' & ''Pikmin 4'' respectively), 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 Mamuta only appearing in caves with no time limit. Also, the Mamuta 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 ''[[Pikmin 4]]'', Oatchi is the much better choice of leader to attack the Mamuta without Pikmin, though it is still a slow process.

{{transcript|A gentle creature removed from the fierce competition of the strong eating the weak. It sits in gardens in a pool of sunlight, looking content as it gazes out its big round eyes at a plant it has raised that's just starting to sprout. Don't tease this mild-mannered beastie by messing with the delicate sprouts it's tending.|block=y}}

=== ''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}}

{{Transcript|Its defining feature is its asymmetrical arms designed for different purposes. It feeds on plant fruits and seeds, burying some of them in the soil to cultivate them. While other species occasionally bury seeds for preservation, the Mamuta is currently the only one known to regularly visit fields, tend to them, and nurture the fruits to maturity. It seems to have a fondness for beautiful flowers and ornaments, revealing a remarkably gentle nature.

== Trivia ==
*In ''Pikmin'', the Mamuta is extremely 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 English 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}}
* Mamuta 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 plural of Mamuta is also Mamuta, According to the notes about the [[Smoky Progg]].
