The Smoky Progg is a special type of creature that appears under special conditions in Pikmin.
Information[edit]
A black and white ghostly creature that kill Pikmin with a poisonous gas it constantly emits. This hidden boss is found in the Distant Spring before day 15 on an island formation. It stays inside a large pinkish egg that when touched, and breaks free within a matter of seconds. The Smoky Progg is followed by a cloud of noxious fumes that will suffocate and kill anything that enters the cloud; hence, the only effective way to attack one is to strike from the front. While killing a Smoky Progg is a challenging task, the resulting corpse will produce a total of 100 seeds. Another way to kill the Smoky Progg is to use a large number of Blue Pikmin to kill it while its still in its egg, though doing so will not leaves behind no remains to convert to seeds.
Olimar belives it may be a malformed Mamuta due to the fact that the Smoky Progg uproots the pikmin, whereas the Mamuta plants them. It also has a distinct interest in the Onions and after awakening (whether it hatches on its own or not), it will head straight towards them.
Other Appearances[edit]
Video Games[edit]
- In Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, the Smoky Progg appears as a Novice-rank Primary Spirit, which has the effect of letting a player start a battle equipped with an Unira. When fought against in a Spirit battle, the Smoky Progg's Spirit would possess Mario and grant him the ability to periodically turn to metal. Notably, the Smoky Progg-possessed Mario is the very first opponent to be faced in Adventure Mode.
Trivia[edit]
- It leaves behind a pearl that can be carried by three pikmin and produces 100 seeds, more than any other creature in the game.
- Smoky Proggs are one of five creatures in Pikmin that did not reappear in Pikmin 2. The other four are the Armored Cannon Beetle, Goolix, Pearly Clamclamp, and Puffstool.
