The '''Magmander''' is a species of [[Amphibiland family|amphibiland]] appearing in [[Pikmin Evolution]]. It is a adult member of its species having a body size that is between the smaller [[Gildemandwee]] and much larger [[Gildemander]]. In terms of appearance it is a jet black amphibiland with glowing orange eyes and webbed toes. It's main difference from the body style of the Gildemander is that instead of an antennae is has what appears to be a blowhole, from this blowhole is smoke and ash that is produced on the special glands on its back. Additionally there is usually an alpha Cryomander in the herd, who has a yellow crest on its head. You see as the name suggests the Magmander is a creature whose back is completely covered in [[lava|magma]] coming out of three pores on its backside, this magma often drips off the creature creating a lake of lava from which it swims in that makes the already hot deserts they are found in even hotter. They usually are found in small herds of varying sizes ranging from 4-7, and to remove the magma from the floor all herd members must be slain, with killing the alpha first being the most advisable as that causes the other to be slower and less organized. Since they constantly create lava they lack many predators, with the sole rival it has being fellow amphibiland [[Cryomander]] of which the two species have turf wars between each other, often to the death. The Magmander's molten body isn't the only advantage it has over your [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]], as the giant tongue of the creature is still capable of eating up to 100 Pikmin. Additionally the alpha can lob an explosive rock from its mouth, leaving anyone in the blast radius to be disintegrated instantly sans Elixer Pikmin. Due to its molten body, [[Elixer Pikmin]] are the only types who can defeat this creature. There are many ways to kill the Magmander, you could just attack its three pores which act as its weakpoints, or you can use the magma to light your Elixer Pikmin and chuck one into the blowhole of the creature. The resulting [[explosion]] will cause all the magma to blow off the creature's back, leaving it vulnerable to all Pikmin types, though after a while it will be able to gain its magma coat back. The best way to kill it is to use a water blue or icy cyan [[syrup]], as they extinguish the flames of the creature and clog the pores on its back with molten rock, leaving it unable to create more magma unless you shatter the rock with an explosion of a thud from a [[Alloy Pikmin]], so don't do that if you want an easier fight. You can also attempt to sic a herd of Cryomanders towards the Magmanders and hope that both herds will kill themselves in mutually assured destruction. However the Magmanders may just overpower the Cryomanders, so its not a surefire way to defeat the herd. So many options to defeat this fiery beast, but its overall solid defenses makes it a tough cookies to crack.

===Notes===
Defeating a Magmander requires attacking the three pores on its back. The lava pools the creatures create will only dry upon killing every member of the herd, but killing the alpha first will considerably weaken the rest of the herd, making them slower and far less organized. Due to its molten body, a Magmander can only be harmed by [[Elixer Pikmin]], as they are not only immune to the magma they produce but are also empowered by it. However, they are still liable to be eaten, especially by the alpha, which can easily swallow up to 100 Pikmin in one lick of its tongue. Despite that, an effective tactic is to clog the Magmander's blowhole by tossing a charged Elixer Pikmin into it while the beast prepares to lick, blasting away the magma covering its back, rendering its pores vulnerable while preventing it from making more magma for some time. Another, and more preferred, option may be to use [[Water|watery]] blue [[syrup]]s or [[Ice|icy]] cyan syrups, as either will extinguish the magma's flames and rapidly cool the magma into rock, clogging the Magmander's pores and preventing it from producing more magma until the rock is shattered by an explosion or an [[Alloy Pikmin]]'s thud. Should the opportunity arise, a captain could lead a herd of Magmanders to a herd of Cryomanders to instigate a fight between the two, and use Pikmin to finish off the victorious side once the conflict is over. Overall, the Magmander has solid defenses that make it a formidable opponent, but its greatest enemy may just be its elemental counterpart.

The Magmander is a species of amphibiland appearing in Pikmin Evolution. It is an adult of its species, having a body size between that of the smaller Gildemandwee and much larger Gildemander. In terms of appearance, it is jet-black with glowing orange eyes and webbed toes. Instead of an antenna, it has what appears to be a blowhole from which it can eject smoke and ash that is produced on the special glands on its back. As the name suggests, the Magmander can secrete magma from the three pores on its back that serves as protection from would-be predators. The magma also drips off the creature, forming pools of it that it wades through and making its already sweltering desert habitat even hotter. Every Magmander herd, which consists of 4-7 individuals, is led by an alpha, which has a yellow crest on its head and has the unique ability to lob explosive rocks from its mouth, disintegrating everything caught in the blast. Magmanders have an intense rivalry with Cryomanders, the two regularly engaging in turf wars over territory, often to the death.

Defeating a Magmander requires attacking the three pores on its back. The lava pools the creatures create will only dry upon killing every member of the herd, but killing the alpha first will considerably weaken the rest of the herd, making them slower and far less organized. Due to its molten body, a Magmander can only be harmed by Elixer Pikmin, as they are not only immune to the magma they produce but are also empowered by it. However, they are still liable to be eaten, especially by the alpha, which can easily swallow up to 100 Pikmin in one lick of its tongue. Despite that, an effective tactic is to clog the Magmander's blowhole by tossing a charged Elixer Pikmin into it while the beast prepares to lick, blasting away the magma covering its back, rendering its pores vulnerable while preventing it from making more magma for some time. Another, and more preferred, option may be to use watery blue syrups or icy cyan syrups, as either will extinguish the magma's flames and rapidly cool the magma into rock, clogging the Magmander's pores and preventing it from producing more magma until the rock is shattered by an explosion or an Alloy Pikmin's thud. Should the opportunity arise, a captain could lead a herd of Magmanders to a herd of Cryomanders to instigate a fight between the two, and use Pikmin to finish off the victorious side once the conflict is over. Overall, the Magmander has solid defenses that make it a formidable opponent, but its greatest enemy may just be its elemental counterpart.
