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 Centre 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.

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.

*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.
