The '''Smoky Progg''' ({{j|ドドロ|Dodoro|Muddy}}) is a [[boss]] found in {{p1}} and {{p4}}. In ''Pikmin'', it is an optional boss fight and is often considered to be one of the hardest encounters in the series; the only way to encounter it is to visit its egg in [[The Distant Spring]] on or before the fifteenth [[day]]. In ''Pikmin 4'', its status is somewhat downgraded, now being a boss encountered multiple times throughout the game.

In ''Pikmin'', it is an optional boss fight and is often considered to be one of the hardest encounters in the series; the only way to encounter it is to visit its egg in [[The Distant Spring]] on or before the fifteenth [[day]]. In ''Pikmin 4'', its status is somewhat downgraded, now being a boss encountered multiple times throughout the game. Most of its appearances are in [[night expedition]]s, being first encountered in the Feasting Center in the [[Hero's Hideaway]]; it also appears on the 10th floor of [[Cavern for a King]]. The creature is initially found inside an egg and will break out after some time. If the egg is destroyed before that, the beast is killed, though in ''Pikmin'' no reward will be produced. | ||
The beast itself is a dark green creature with glowing eyes. It is roughly the size of a [[Bulborb]], and constantly emits a cloud of [[gloom]] behind it that is harmful to both the Pikmin and leaders. When killed in ''Pikmin'', it drops a golden pearl-like orb which, if carried to an [[Onion]], will produce one hundred Pikmin. In ''Pikmin 4'' it also gains a red circular mouth it uses to spit out gloom. | The beast itself is a dark green creature with glowing eyes.

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. | In ''Pikmin 4'', the egg takes a varying time to hatch, depending on the location.

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. | |||

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 this game, the Smoky Progg has gained some new attacks.

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. | 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.

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. | 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.

*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. | *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.

* 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. | |||
