In ''Pikmin 4'', the egg takes a varying time to hatch, depending on the location. Its main method of attack is to throw up a gloom projectile, which creates a ring of gloom when it lands that slowly expands until it dissipates. Upon shaking off Pikmin, it lets out a deafening roar that causes them to [[panic]]. In [[night expedition]]s, it will lumber towards the nearest [[Lumiknoll]] if its egg is allowed to hatch, ignoring most Tricknolls. Upon reaching the Lumiknoll, it will attack it with the aforementioned gloom projectiles. In a cave, it will instead focus its attacks on the leader and their Pikmin, similar to how it behaves when engaged in combat at night.

While most enemies during night expeditions will not attempt to approach the Lumiknolls if [[sticky mold]] is in their way, Smoky Proggs will march over it, destroying any [[Spotcap]]s in their way. However, they will not break through [[dirt wall]]s.

* [[Hero's Hideaway]]: During the [[Feasting Center]] night expedition, an egg appears under the step ladder in the kitchen. During the [[Foot of the Stairs]] night expedition, one egg will be in front of the large couch and another will be in front of the kitchen island (both directions relative to the Lumiknoll).

* [[Primordial Thicket]]: During the [[The Sylvan Gate]] night expedition, an egg will be found near the climbing wall you would use to find the [[Golden Vaulting Table]] during the day. Also during the [[Autumnal Gully]] night expedition, one egg will be where the [[Golden Vaulting Table]] is found in the day and a second will be next to the [[Final Battle]] cave lid.

In this game, the Smoky Progg has gained some new attacks. It may spit a glowing red projectile that creates a [[gloom]] wave upon landing, which has the same instant-kill properties as the smoke surrounding the creature. It may also roar loudly to send the Pikmin and [[Oatchi]] into a panic, possibly causing them to run directly into its gloom.

In a rare case, if Olimar walks up to the egg with no Pikmin, circles the egg and tries to attack it, the egg won't take any damage, yet if he goes back to an Onion to get some Pikmin and return to the cluster of islands, the egg will be gone. The only way to reset the egg is to reset the entire day. Going to sunset and continuing to the next day will not bring the egg back.

If the Progg is lured to the [[Armored Cannon Beetle]]'s tree stump arena, and then lured back to the landing site near the Onions, there is a chance that the game will crash. {{cite youtube|CzPS49XW1nE|Explaining how to crash the game with the Smoky Progg|YouTube}}


In another rare case, there is a glitch where a Pikmin that is thrown at the egg right when it hatches will float in mid-air while doing its "hitting" sequence, damaging the Progg. After about ten seconds the Pikmin will start vibrating faster and faster and eventually fall off.

*There is [[Unused_content_in_Pikmin|an unfinished enemy]] within ''Pikmin'''s files known as <code>usuba</code> that supposedly would have spawned Smoky Proggs, according to parameters inside its code. As the majority of its code is missing, spawning <code>usuba</code> through normal methods crashes the game.
* The internal name of the Smoky Progg being "dororo" is probably a reference to the manga of the same name by the author Osamu Tezuka, the book tells the story of a deformed infant, It is likely what inspired the developers to come up with Smoky Progg's "malformed larval mamuta" comment in the enemy reel.
