The mammoth, also referred to as the Laser Mammoth, is a character in the Hamster & Gretel episode "A Mammoth Problem". It was a mammoth who was frozen then found by Gretel. After being freed it went on a rampage.
Physical appearance[]
It is a brown woolly mammoth, an extinct ancient species of elephant. During its rampage, it's got a laser from Nordle's science project stuck on its right tusk.
Powers and abilities[]
The mammoth does not have any special powers, but is able to destroy many things in its path due to its sheer size and mass. The laser stuck on one of its tusks shoots randomly, causing more destruction even when the mammoth has no control over it.
History[]
Background[]
At an unknown point during the ice age, it was frozen in a glacier. This glacier then drfted away into the ocean.
Season 1[]
In "A Mammoth Problem", the glacier was found by Gretel, who went looking for a better science project for the science fair at Eastside Elementary School due to being provoked by Nordle. Satisfied, she takes the glacier to the science fair, although it doesn't impress Nordle, who is about to show off his science project to the judges; said project would shoot a laser at a sphere of liquid nitrogen in order to create a sustained fusion for near-limitless energy. When Nordle boots up his project, however, the laser causes the ball of liquid nitrogen to blow up and drop liquid nitrogen all over the place, destroying most other science projects. This includes Gretel's glacier, which melts down, which in turn frees the mammoth.
Since the mammoth is a wild animal, it rampages through the science fair, destroying other science projects even further, and eventually getting the laser from Nordle's project roped onto one of its tusks, before leaving the fair and rampaging throughout town. Gretel and Nordle chase after it while the former asks Bailey to keep the judges busy with her own science project about flatfish. However, Gretel and Nordle have trouble calming the mammoth down, and eventually realize they have to work together.
The mammoth is later seen rampaging through the harbor when Gretel and Nordle encounter it again. Reasoning that it's hungry, Gretel distracts the mammoth by feeding it with a hamburger, as Nordle snatches the laser from its tusk and passes it to Gretel. The laser shoots out of Gretel's control, but she manages to hit some nearby I-beams in order to surround the mammoth with it, creating a makeshift cage; one of the I-beams unfortunately destroys the laser as well. Gretel then calls Hamster to help the two carry the mammoth back and improve the makeshift cage with his welding torch.
At the science fair, Gretel and Nordle present the trapped mammoth as their joint project, but the judges reveal that they decided that Bailey wins first prize. After the whole ordeal is over, Gretel decided to drop the mammoth off to a familiar married couple, who just happen to have opened a mammoth-themed theme park.
