Hey, just wondering, does anyone think the Smokey Progg is a Mamuta? After reading the Goolix talk, it does seem more Mitite-ish. I also wondered how a Mamuta could lay an egg that size. Someone said it could be actully a cocoon, but, as insects rely heavily on instinct, I don't think the mitites would infect it unless they had been doing it for years, which seems quite unlikly as it seems to harm both species. That brings up something disturbing. If a Mamuta didn't lay it and it's not a cocoon who did? Or, have we maybe never actully seen an adult Mamuta, and those were simply normal larva? After all, insects have not changed for thousands of years, and if the chocolate you find has not decomposed, i doubt that insects thought patterns will have changed that much. Back to Mamuta... If those are larva, what does the adult look like? Also, the Smokey Progg could be another species altogether, or the Alpha Male (dominant) version. Think scientificly people! -Pikiwizard
Well, I was trying to think scientifically. i find that it is all said on the article: we just can not know if the Progg is really a Mamuta larva, Mitite or a completely other species. And we can't know what it's in, an egg or cocoon? Really, I think this is all that can be said to this hardly explained creature.--Prezintenden(babble)
Sorry 'bout that, just thinking... Hey... I just realized something. Do you think the pikmin die too quickly for poisen? Maybe they get absorbed. It would explain why Mamuta's plant them, it'd be to feed the larva. Unless it's a mitite. Man, I wish Nintendo would release more info on it! I know I find it one of the more interesting species, along with Mitites, Snitchbugs, and the Waterwraith.--Pikiwizard 21:35, 6 December 2007 (UTC)
Here's my theroy: Mamuta lay egg. Bigger creature swallow it. Bigger creature lay egg. By now baby Mamuta is horribly deformed. Horribly deformed baby Mamuta breaks out of it's egg and eats the bigger creature's baby. Horribly deformed baby Mamuta falls asleep in the bigger creature's egg. It enter hibernation until Omilar come and hit it.Darkpikmin 15:49, 3 January 2008 (UTC)
Thats realy good thinking but... their is one problem though. How does the progg get in the egg if the egg shows no breaks kracks or anything else to show that thats not the proggs original egg.
Easy! the Progg could've eaten the creature inside the egg while the prey was a "Egg Yolk" also inside the egg! EvilLouie13
- You can't lay an egg by eating one >.<, you have to... errr... well... you know... I'm ~Crystal
Lucario~ And I approve this message.
- That would never work, even though I seriously lack skillz in bioligy (I don't think I even spelt it right >.>) I know that wouldn't work.
- No, ugh. He's not saying the Progg layed the egg, the egg was already there, the Progg just got into the egg and ate whatever was inside. Like I said though, it doesn't solve the problem of how the Progg got into the egg in the first place without leaving a hole. Then again, supposing the "mother Progg" could have injected a developing Progg or tiny Progg egg inside the large egg, like many species of wasps do with long, needle-like ovipositors (although I don't believe any of them actually target hard-shelled eggs), any trace of a hole could potentially be very small, and would likely be plugged either by the mother or the host egg itself to prevent anything else from getting in. The idea that the egg does not originally belong to the Progg might explain why the egg itself seems to be so much bigger than it needs to be to house the animal. —Jimbo Jambo
