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. 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.

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.

{{game help|p4|Determine exactly how long it takes for the egg cutscene to trigger after landing in Cavern for a King. Also, determine if the cutscene will play on repeat trips if it’s skipped during the first encounter.}}
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.
