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, ignoring most Tricknolls. 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.

While most enemies during night expeditions will not attempt to approach the Lumiknolls if [[sticky mold]] is in their way, Smoky Proggs will march over it, destroying any [[Spotcap]]s in their way. However, they will not break through [[dirt wall]]s.

* [[Hero's Hideaway]]: During the [[Feasting Centre]] 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.

*The Smoky Progg's body appears to be hollow, or transparent. If viewed from behind, one can see a glowing light suspended inside with chunks of gas falling around it.

*The Smoky Progg is capable of uprooting Pikmin seeds spawned by an Onion before they reach the ground.{{cite youtube|oAm4b2388hY|demonstrating that seeds coming out of an Onion can be uprooted by the Smoky Progg (language warning)|m=4|s=5|published={{date|10|August|2019}}|retrieved={{date|26|December|2020}}}}

*The Smoky Progg fought in [[Cavern for a King]] is unique amongst other Smoky Proggs fought in ''Pikmin 4'', as it is the only one to drop [[Wayward Moon|a treasure]] when killed. Interestingly, this drop is logically impossible, as it could not have swallowed the melon while still in its egg.
*There is [[Unused_content_in_Pikmin|an unfinished enemy]] within ''Pikmin'''s files known as <code>usuba</code> that supposedly would have spawned Smoky Proggs, according to parameters inside its code. As the majority of its code is missing, spawning <code>usuba</code> through normal methods crashes the game.

* The internal name of the Smoky Progg being "dororo" is probably a reference to the manga of the same name by the author Osamu Tezuka, the book tells the story of a deformed infant, It is likely what inspired the developers to come up with Smoky Progg's "malformed larval mamuta" comment in the enemy reel.
