The '''Smoky Progg''' ({{j|ドドロ|Dodoro}}) is a hidden, optional [[boss]] found only in the [[Pikmin (game)|first ''Pikmin'' game]], and is considered one of the toughest. The only way to encounter it is to visit [[The Distant Spring]] on or before [[day]] 15. It resides in the large watery area located to the south of the landing site, in the center of a small group of islands. The Progg is in an egg and if it is approached, it will break out within four to eight seconds. When the egg breaks open, the Progg will go directly to the landing site, ignoring [[Captain Olimar]] and possibly walking through the [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] squad if not careful. [[Swarming]] the unopened egg with a large number of [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] can easily defeat the Progg, but does not produce any reward. | The '''Smoky Progg''' ({{j|ドドロ|Dodoro}}) is a hidden, optional [[boss]] found only in the [[Pikmin (game)|first ''Pikmin'' game]], and is considered one of the toughest.

The beast itself is a dark green and black creature with glowing white eyes with a pinkish ring around them. It is roughly the size of a [[Bulborb|Spotty Bulborb]], and it constantly emits a cloud of gas behind it that is harmful to both the Pikmin and Olimar. It is also able to [[Pluck|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 a very high defense, so it takes a while to kill. When killed, however, it drops a golden pearl which, if carried to an [[Onion]], will produce 100 Pikmin seeds. | The beast itself is a dark green and black creature with glowing white eyes with a pinkish ring around them.

The relationship between the Smoky Progg and Mamuta, of being radically different between larval and adult stages, could be derived from that of the {{w|Pseudis paradoxa|paradox frog}} (''Pseudis paradoxa'') and its young; paradox frog tadpoles are about four times larger than their adult selves. | The relationship between the Smoky Progg and Mamuta, of being radically different between larval and adult stages, could be derived from that of the {{w|Pseudis paradoxa|paradox frog}} (''Pseudis paradoxa'') and its young; paradox frog tadpoles are about four times larger than their adult selves. | ||
