The King Mammoth is an optional superboss one can fight near the end of the caveman chapter, and is one of the most difficult in the game if you can't abuse his attack patterns. Even finding him can be difficult; he's invisible, he runs across the zone randomly at extremely high speeds, and you have to press a button to even locate him.
If you do manage to encounter him, he has a very large amount of HP, high defense and evasion and extremely devastating counters and attacks. He loves to counter attacks with a move that changes the whole field around him into a lava field, which heals him and hurts you, and often uses these devastating moves if you aren't within range of his trunk.
The easiest way I've found of hurting him is to stun him first, either using PushPush or Oo! -Burp-, the latter of which has a charge time but will also poison him. Transforming the fields around him helps too, but only if you can prevent him from changing them all to fire.
If you do manage to beat him, you will get a King's Fang 100% of the time, and a Cola Bottle about 20-25% of the time. The King's Fang gives +20 Power, and immunity to a variety of status attacks, while the Cola Bottle gives +30 speed, and deals insanely high damage when used as an item in battle.
I just beat him on my second try, AND got the Cola Bottle.

Can you give any advice on finding this guy? Does he tend to stay confined to an area? Is it even possible to know when you're around him, or do you just run around mashing A the whole time?
