The '''Smoky Progg''' ({{j|ドドロ|Dodoro}}) is a [[boss]] found in {{p1}} and {{p4}} and is considered one of the hardest encounters in the series. In ''Pikmin'', it is an optional boss fight, and 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 egg can be first encountered in a [[night expedition]], specifically the Feasting Center in the [[Hero's Hideaway]]. It also appears in [[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 '''Smoky Progg''' ({{j|ドドロ|Dodoro}}) is a [[boss]] found in {{p1}} and {{p4}} and is considered one of the hardest encounters in the series.

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 | The beast itself is a dark green creature with glowing eyes.

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. It is also implied in ''Pikmin 4''{{'s}} [[Piklopedia (Pikmin 4)|Piklopedia]] notes that [[glow sap]] exposure is what causes Mamuta eggs to become malformed. This may also explain their urge to destroy [[Lumiknoll]]s upon hatching. | 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.
