Not to confuse with Mammoth.

Mammoth-Otoko (マンモス男 Manmosuotoko, lit. Mammoth Man) or Muku-Jara (むく邪羅 or むくじゃら Mukujara, lit. Rough and Plump or Hairly) is a yōkai who takes part in the baseball match to get the Yōkai Bat back in the 1968 and 1985 anime.

Appearance

In the 1968 anime, Muku-Jara appears as a large being, covered entirely with long dark hair. His face is obscured by his hair and he does not appear to have any fingers or toes on his hands or feet. He wore a baseball cap and baseball mitt over his left hand for the match.

Within the 1985 anime, Mammoth-Otoko resembles largely the same, here however his fur is dark teal. His face is still obscure and does not seem to have visible digits on his hands or feet. His baseball cap is dark blue with a blue bill and a red symbol.

Personality

Not much is known about Mammoth-Otoko's personality, but he is often shown to be strong and stoic despite his lack of words. As a result, he is feared by the members of the human baseball team. However in the manga, even he runs away from the sun like the other yōkai.

History

Manga

Mammoth-Otoko first appears in the Shonen Magazine story Obake Nighter as the left field in Kitarō's team. He and his team get an upper hand against Donpei's, but are driven away by the sun.

Powers and Abilities

During the fight against 808 Tanuki, he displayed enormous strength to carry a large boulder to seal the tanuki army.
