Mahamari is most commonly found in the bay area of the California region of North America. Its evolutionary ancestors are said to have mostly migrated from the Taiwan and Japan regions of East Asia.

Diet

Known to be a voracious omnivore, Mahamari readily consumes all types of food. It has a noted affinity for cheeses, sweets, spicy food, and raw fish.

A social creature, Mahamari enjoys spending time with others of its kind. It is, however, highly territorial and marks its range with robot figurines, stuffed toys, and various other geeky doodads.

This creature has also been reported to exhibit the behaviors of an engineer, patent attorney, and magazine game reviews writer. More study may be needed to confirm these reports.
