- "Ha ha ha. Now it's time for me to stomp the future into dust!"
- ―Flame Mammoth, Mega Man Maverick Hunter X
Flame Mammoth, known as Burnin' Noumander (バーニン・ナウマンダー Bānin Naumandā) in Japan, is one of the eight Mavericks in Mega Man Maverick Hunter X. Originally a Maverick Hunter stationed in the Middle East and leader of the 4th Land Battalion, Flame Mammoth joined Sigma's rebellion out of a thirst for more power.
Overview[]
- From the instruction manual:
FIERY OIL TANKER
Leader of the 4th Land Battalion, Flame Mammoth used to be stationed in the Middle East. Hearing of Sigma's rebellion, he dreamt of getting an even tighter grasp on his own potential power and of going on violent rampages, and decided to join the rebellion. He enjoys crushing and humiliating anyone weaker than himself and was hated by the Reploids who served under him. This is why none of his battalion followed him to join in the rebellion. He plans on letting his firepower do the talking, taking over an industrial area, and turning it all into weapons manufacturing.
Fire Wave
With an arm converted into a powerful flamethrower, it deals continuous damage to enemies. The only thing is, it can't be used underwater.
Characteristics[]
Flame Mammoth largely looks the same as he originally did, but his red chestplate no longer reaches down to the yellow panel (or vent) on his belly. His glove is now pale tan, contrasting the white it originally was, though his artwork portrays him with a pale green glove. The blue gems on his knees have been changed to diamond shapes. His eyes are also a bit smaller. He also has Sigma's symbol at his groin area.
Though he was a leader in the Maverick Hunters, Flame Mammoth is sadistic and cruel and loves violence and bullying those smaller than him rather than fighting for justice, and he has caught the ire of his subordinates and comrades, who refused to follow him into Sigma's rebellion. He talks in a dull witted tone, but seems to be smarter than he gives off, as when taking to Vile he states he is aware that he is not on the side of justice before they fight.
History[]
Mega Man Maverick Hunter X[]
Despite joining Sigma's rebellion, none of his comrades joined him out of dislike for him. Flame Mammoth takes over a prototype weapons plant, where X confronts him. X tells him not to follow through on his actions, but Flame Mammoth merely looks forward to destroying X and the two fight. In Free Play and Hard Mode, Flame Mammoth asks why Sigma would see X as the future if Reploids, to which X does not answer. He is revived as a mindless shell of himself alongside his fellow Mavericks at Sigma's fortress, where he is destroyed for good.
In Vile's story, Flame Mammoth asks Vile if he has joined the side of justice, which he denies. He challenges Flame Mammoth to a fight, and destroys the giant Maverick.
Strategy[]
Flame Mammoth's attack pattern remains relatively unchanged from the original Mega Man X. He now goes off the screen during his jump attack, making him slightly harder to track during that move. However, he is noticeably slower, making him even easier to deal with, though he has an additional blue Flame attack in Hard Mode. Flame Mammoth is also briefly stunned by his weakness, Storm Tornado, raising arms to attempt to block it. An uncharged Storm Tornado can put out his oil fires.
When Flame Mammoth is hit with X's Boomerang Cutter or any of Vile's Cutters while on the ground, there is a chance that Flame Mammoth's trunk will be severed, preventing him from lobbing oil.

Jump Press[1] |
|---|---|
| Flame Mammoth leaps, attempting to land on the player. On impact, he causes a tremor that stuns the player if they're on the floor. | |
| Damage: 4 | |
|
Oiling[1] |
| Flame Mammoth launches a blob of flammable oil from his trunk. If it touches the player midair, it drags them to the floor. This can be disabled by hitting him with a Boomerang Cutter. | |

|
Fire Wave[1] |
| Flame Mammoth shoots three fireballs from his buster, which fall to the ground. If one touches a blob of oil, it bursts into a pillar of fire. In Hard Mode, he may instead shoot four blue fireballs that burst into pillars even without oil. | |

Dialogues[]
Flame Mammoth: Ha ha ha! I was wondering who would show up... I didn't expect a B-Class Hunter like you!
X: What are you doing, Flame Mammoth? Don't be stupid!
Flame Mammoth: Bwah ha ha! There's nothing I like more than stomping weak little blabbermouths like you into dust!
Flame Mammoth: Hmpf! Why does Sigma think that a weak little B-Class Hunter like you is even worth my time?
X: Sigma's a Maverick, just like you!
Flame Mammoth: Sigma must be as crazy as you say. He keeps talking about how you are the future of Reploids. Can you believe that, X?
X: ...
Flame Mammoth: Vile? What are you doing? If you've joined the side of justice, you can leave now!
Vile: Justice? Gimme a break, Flame Mammoth. I'll fight you if that's what you want. Bring it on...
