Darryl Omg's version
The Wither Progg is a shepik that resembles a smaller, dark blue Smoky Progg without arms. Usually appearing from the ground, it moves towards Pikmin and leaders in its range, and though harmless to leaders, can weaken Pikmin by inflicting a temporary status known as wither upon them. A gray field around the Wither Progg indicates the range in which it can affect Pikmin. Affected Pikmin appear less saturated and lower their heads, and become slower and weaker, their attack power being reduced by up to five so long as they remain withered. Pikmin that are exposed to the Wither Progg for too long will lose all color in their bodies, their hazard resistances, and their abilities, and die instantly from all hazards they are not resistant to. Withered Pikmin will gradually return to normal after some time has passed without exposure, with severe stages taking longer to recover from, or instantly upon drinking nectar.
