| 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]].

| ==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.
