Editing Talk:Smoky Progg

Can someone get a clearer picture?
(I don't know clearer's even a word.)

I disagree with olimars notes,it could be ether a mutated mite,or a mature one.

im not sure. it looks like a mamuta, but i see no evidence that its 'mutated'. it just looks like some similar species.

and that thing totally OWNED my forces when i fought it.

Maybe it's a mutated Wollywog.--[[User:PikminLeader|PikminLeader]] 20:55, 10 October 2007 (UTC)

I was also thinkin' wollywog.

Yeah right, Olimar! A mamuta couldn't lay THAT big of an egg! And also people should start puting their signatures on these pages.--[[User:PikminLeader|PikminLeader]] 20:55, 10 October 2007 (UTC)

:I'm pretty sure it was a hypothetical question... {{user:Jimbo Jambo/sig}} It is not mutated maybe it had a disablete at birth ( just a guess )[[Special:Contributions/71.245.34.142|71.245.34.142]] 16:12, March 20, 2010 (UTC)

HA! Its not a mamuta at all 

Yes it is. It just looks different. I would say my theory, but when I put it on the Mamuta discussion, it got removed. --[[User:Louie G.|Louie G.]] 15:15, 3 June 2012 (EDT)

=="Translation"==
"They are also synonymous by name; "Mamuta" can be translated as the God of Pikmin, whereas "Progg" as the Lord of Pikmin."

Mamuta and Progg? For one, Pikmin isn't a real word, so I doubt any language would translate Lord or God of Pikmin...what language is it even supposedly translated from? Goodness, this needs clarity.

Hey when I fought it, I experianced a glitch they talk about in the goolix's talk in which it says that you have 7/6 Pikmin, for example. Also, if a pollywog falls on it, sometimes it'll sink through the ground but still kill your Pikmin, and sometimes, if it tries to move through a Pollywog, sometimes it will temporarally fly :P -[[User:Last Onion]]

ive always wondered what would happen if you throgh a white pikmin at it?

It would probrable die, this stuff isn't poison, but it plainly is toxic to pikmin, and I have seen the Progg fly, but it didn't go off an enemy, it was on land and ran into the water without making that splash noise.[[User:Learner|Learner]] 19:58, 10 February 2008 (UTC)

==THEORY regarding Smoky Progg and Mamuta Connection==
The idea that the Smoky Progg is the larval stage of a Mamuta is not so far-fetched. Take a number of examples from both the game and terrestrial biology: The Smoky Progg resembles and behaves like an insect that is familiar and common, the caterpillar. The Progg as much as the caterpillar, moves slowly and precisely in its search for food—no movement is wasted in its quest, to provide maximum efficiency of energy conservation. The terran caterpillar has but one goal, to acquire as much energy as possible for its metamorphosis into its Imago form, which is the butterfly. Likewise, the excess energy gathered by the Progg’s consumption of Pikmin could take the form of the golden sphere that remains after its death. Think of the golden sphere (lets call it the Pearl) as an enormous battery, similar to a tank of nectar, that the Pikmin can metabolize into hundreds of sprouts. However, to the Progg, the Pearl it the key to its adult form, for once it has converted enough spare energy and the Pearl has become too large to move around efficiently with, the Progg seeks the method for entering its adult stage. Here is where the Progg’s biology diverges from the terran caterpillar. As the caterpillar must expend the energy it has gathered to change into a butterfly, the Progg is not so limited—it finds the nearest Bitterwort Berry plant and it consumes enough to calcify into its adult form, its unique alien biology is able to safely metabolize the bitter chemicals so that the rock-like properties become a part of its biochemistry. As the berries provide all the energy for the transformation, the Pearl keeps its energy topped off through the entire process. When the change is finished, the Mamuta emerges, ready to begin its adult duties. As the Mamuta has enough energy to live to pass on its genes (it has no mouth and absorption of water though its pores might be enough for it to live), now comes the phenomenon of sexual dibehavioralism (I made that word up but it suits my purposes). As there seems to be no outward physical indication of a difference between male and female Mamutas, we must assume from their inherent behavior what their gender is. The male (like many terran males) is the more aggressive one; he spends his time in active search for a mate, and pounding food (Pikimin) into the ground. The female waits patiently, not consuming any unnecessary energy waiting for a mate. Once a couple finds each other, some courtship ritual may ensue, and the female is fertilized. The male, having spent his energy mating, planting, and moving, dies and crumbles into smaller stones. The female, not having spent her energy, is tasked with laying the eggs and spreading them out to other places. Once done, she dies as well, and the eggs that have been laid will hatch when they are ready. Once the infant Proggs are born, they seek out the pheromones of the flower Pikmin their fathers have planted for them and feed on them, thus propagating the cycle of life of the Mamuta. - [[User:Anthrolithos|Anthrolithos]] ([[User talk:Anthrolithos|talk]])

[TheMagicPikmin]: The idea of a mamuta larvae or whatever as a smokey progg is completely dumb... The actaul mamuta displays no characterisitcs to the progg if anything they are opposites. Mamutas plant pikmin and smokey proggs kill pikmin with poison. There is no proof stating that the smokey progg is a mamuta.{A word about other egg theories} Some are now saying bulbears came from the egg now what proof is there? People are just coming up with these blind ideas... probably for attention. -please do not edit paragraph due to the fact it actually isnt a dumb theory-

:I'm sorry, but I had to return the paragraph back to its original form. Please do not edit other people's posts, but you are right in the fact that this is indeed a theory, and it may not be correct, but please refrain from calling it "dumb" (keep all negativity to yourself)... --[[User:PikminFanatic23|PikminFanatic23]] 23:21, 4 April 2012 (EDT)

Unless, their somesort of parasite like the Mitites

I have an idea: whatever caused the spotty bulbear to become what it is, also malformed a mamuta in an egg. It is noted that spotty bulbears adapted to the enviorment. Think of it as a malformed water mamuta.--[[File:Rob.jpg|thumb|72px]] the --[[User:MewFan128|MewFan128]] 14:03, 9 June 2009 (UTC) the master 14:25, 11 June 2009 (UTC)

Mabye it isn't a larva; it could be an adult, and the "egg" could be a cocoon, and the smoke a result of unfinished metamorphisis.Also, the Progg doesn't seem to actually ''eat'' the pikkmin. -random creepy guy (im back!)

:Pikmin 1 doesn't have the same notes that Pikmin 2 has. All there is is a brief description from the Enemy Reel. I don't believe it's mentioned in Olimar's daily journal either. {{user:Jimbo Jambo/sig}}

== Bottle? ==

The ground it's on doesn't look at all like the impression of a bottle, as described in the opening paragraph. It is ''vaguely comparable'' to the ''inverse'' of one. It would be better to describe its location as "in the center of a small pattern of islands" or something. If I had to describe them, I'd call them "sun-shaped".

Actually, what am I saying? Where in Pikmin are there notes other than in the enemy reel, which is already on the page?{{User:Greenpickle/sig}} 16:33, 12 June 2008 (UTC)

No I dont but I remember getting them.[[User:Masta pikmin|Masta pikmin]] 16:50, 12 June 2008 (UTC)

:Olimar's journal entries occasionally have notes on enemies like Bulborbs, Flint Beetles, even the Puffstool. I don't ''know'' they aren't in the game because it seems pretty random for the most part which notes you get, and admittedly I've only played through the game once...but this is still the first time I've heard ''anyone'' mention them. Not only that, but the description is silly. "Mollusk-like"? The word mollusk encompasses an entire phylum of animals. The only things mollusks really have in common with each other is certain internal parts like radulas. You can't say an animal looks like a mollusk...it's just too broad a group. Also, and this is also a response to Prezintenden's comment (which we talked about on the chat, but I might as well respond to it here), I highly doubt the writers would actually suggest a tactic that totally denies the player 100 new Pikmin. In fact, killing the egg gets you absolutely nothing but aggravation for realizing you just wasted ten seconds killing that thing. Sure it's dangerous, but so are all enemies. They might as well tell you not to kill any enemies at all and to just go for Pellet Posies for all your Pikmin propagation needs. I'm almost astounded anyone is actually taking this seriously, and you can bet that in the unlikely event that some kind is video or photo is produced, I'm going to scrutinize it 'til I faint. {{user:Jimbo Jambo/sig}}

lol my friend and I played against it and lost 99 pikmin and got 100 pikmin so all in all we gained 1 pikmin

== Its a ghost for goodness sake ==

Sorry but usualy when half of somethings body continuesly dizzolves into thin air, thats a big more then 'Malformed', I think its some sort of weird ghost, So it could have some connection to a mamuta, also it looks more like one of them frogs, Im suprised this guy isent a boss In pikmin 2, they got the big fat Bulboarb in twice they, they could have used the progg for the second time (then again the second battle is EPIC)-Leekduck

:First, the Progg is very dangerous and would probably kill most of your Pikmin so you wouldn't be able to carry the treasure back.

And second, since when do ghosts come out of eggs? {{User:Snakeboss14/sig}}

:The Empress Bulblax|big fat Bulboarb appears three times actually. While this does look like a Wollywog|Frog, it acts nothing like them, and it hatches looking like a frog instead of looking like a wogpole|tadpole, so the only connection between them is that an adult Wollywog has some similarity in appearance to a newly hatched Smoky Progg. As for why this doesn't appear in Pikmin 2, there are two reasons. The first is that the White Pikmin might be immune making this less of a threat, and the second is that this thing could pluck pikmin and kill planted pikmin. Since this is a boss, it would have appeared underground, and the only way to have planted pikmin underground to kill is by including a hundred or so Swooping Snitchbugs on the same level as the Progg. --[[User:Yoshord|Yoshord]] 16:29, 13 July 2009 (UTC)

Ooh err, Anyway I knew the empress appeared three times once in challenge mode, and also to snakeboss, Yeah I know its a ghost that hatches from an egg?, Weird,

And also just because it doesent act like a frog doesent mean its not a ghost of one, HUman ghosts dont act like humans that much, When was the last time you saw a human walk through a wall and re-inact its own death?
