Unknown family: Difference between revisions

The Smoky Progg is a hidden boss in ''Pikmin'' and ''Pikmin 4'', and is possibly one of the toughest. The only way to encounter it is to go into [[The Distant Spring]] [[areas|area]] before day 15. It resides in the massive lake area, on a later useless mound of small islands, in an egg form. If one touches the egg by any means, even with [[Olimar]], it will break out of the egg and show its true form; a dark green and black creature, emitting fumes toxic to Pikmin, sporting glowing white eyes. It will follow the player back to the landing site, so it's necessary to kill it. It can uproot Pikmin sprouts. The only way to hurt it is to throw Pikmin onto its large head. Any Pikmin left walking in its trail will succumb to the unknown substance it emits. It has an incredibly high defense and takes a while to kill. However, when killed it drops a pearl or nut that will be sufficient food to produce 100 Pikmin from any Onion that it gets to. In ''Pikmin 4'', it appears during night expeditions and therefore has no drop even if encountered outside of the night. ''Pikmin 4'' also coined the term for the gas it produces; it is now referred to as ''gloom'' and can be used by the ''ancient sirehound'' in it's final phase.
