Mamuta: Difference between revisions
Naming section cleanup.
(What?! First of all, if it's a malformed larva, its weird behavior is justified. Secondly, it's only on the same area. It's like saying there's a connection between the Swarming Sheargrub and the P1 Spotty Bulbear are related because of the red eyes.) |

The '''Mamuta''' ({{j| | The '''Mamuta''' ({{j|ミウリン|Miurin}}) is an [[enemy]] found in the first two ''[[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 with large, muscular arms that have strange markings around the wrists, and is covered in tiny white and gray hairs. The single Mamuta in the [[Pikmin (game)|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]]'', however, Mamutas are more aggressive, attacking Pikmin and [[leader]]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 [[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. | These creatures attack by pounding Pikmin into the ground.
