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 markings are thicker and the hairs are more visible in ''Pikmin 4''. 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. | ||
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.
