The Mamuta is a fairly large, seemingly rocky enemy 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. Some Mamutas are neutral, while others are aggressive and attack anything that approaches it. These creatures attack by pounding Pikmin into the ground. This doesn't kill them, but replants them and turns them into 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. Leaders, as opposed to Pikmin, do take damage from Mamuta attacks.
Notes
Olimar's notes
The imbalanced, asymmetrical arms of the Mamuta are among its most notable features. Feeding on seeds and fruit, the Mamuta is known to actually sow and grow plant species. While other species have exhibited seed-burying behavior for the purpose of storage, the Mamuta is the only species so far known to actually cultivate fields of plants.
Louie's notes
Inedible. Tastes like chicken.

Pikmin Galaxy Adventure
Template:P4PA In Pikmin Galaxy Adventure, the Mamuta appears in a few areas.
Pikmin Hybrids
They appear in an area called Mamuta Woods and behave slightly differently. They are found guarding a small plot of land filled with planted Pikmin and will only attack when Olimar steps onto their land. When they are defeated Olimar can pluck the buried Pikmin to supplement his team.
