The Smoky Progg itself is a dark green and black creature with white, glowing eyes, with a pink/purple ring around the white, and constantly emits a cloud of gas that is poisonous to both the Pikmin and [[Olimar]], which is usually behind the Progg. It is also able to uproot Pikmin sprouts. The Smoky Progg will make its way towards the landing site upon emerging, so it is necessary to kill it to avoid interference with the day's plans. It has an incredibly high defense, so it takes a while to defeat. When defeated, however, it drops a golden pearl which, if carried to an [[Onion]], will produce one hundred Pikmin seeds. | The Smoky Progg itself is a dark green and black creature with white, glowing eyes, with a pink/purple ring around the white, and constantly emits a cloud of gas that is poisonous to both the Pikmin and [[Olimar]], which is usually behind the Progg.

But that would have to mean the Progg is only a baby, and that seems rather ludicrous due to its intensely aggressive behavior and nonsensically great strength, although it may be possible due to the fact that it is found in an egg. However, this relationship could also be derived from that of the Paradox Frog (Pseudis paradoxa) and its young; paradox frog tadpoles are about four times larger than their adult selves. | ||
