Smoky Progg: Difference between revisions

|image      = Smoky Progg P4 icon.png

The '''Smoky Progg''' ({{j|ドドロ|Dodoro}}) 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 Center 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.

It is 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 HP of the Malformed Egg that it spawns from is unknown as of current.

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. 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.

In ''Pikmin'', the Smoky Progg is unique in that it will not simply leave a corpse of itself (or even a [[pellet]]), but instead a golden orb similar to the pearls dropped by the [[Pearly Clamclamp]]s. When brought to an [[Onion]], it will create 100 Pikmin seeds, which is the highest amount of seeds for any object that can be brought. In ''Pikmin 4'' it will sink into its cloud of smoke, which then dissipates, leaving no reward.

* [[Hero's Hideaway]]: During the [[Feasting Center]] night expedition, an egg appears under the step ladder in the kitchen. During the [[Foot of the Stairs]] night expedition, one egg will be in front of the large couch and another will be in front of the kitchen island (both directions relative to the Lumiknoll).

* [[Primordial Thicket]]: During the [[The Sylvan Gate]] night expedition, an egg will be found near the climbing wall you would use to find the [[Golden Vaulting Table]] during the day. Also during the [[Autumnal Gully]] night expedition, one egg will be where the [[Golden Vaulting Table]] is found in the day and a second will be next to the [[Final Battle]] cave lid.
