Smoky Progg

The Smoky Progg is a dark green and black creature with glowing white eyes with a pinkish ring around them. The progg is initially contained within a massive egg and, if approached, will break out within four to eight seconds. It constantly emits a cloud of gas behind it that is harmful to both Pikmin and leaders, and the creature itself is able to uproot Pikmin sprouts.

In Pikmin 3 (Flish version)
In Pikmin 3 (Flish version), the Smoky Progg is much weaker and often appears as miniboss, but in Ruined Caverns the Smoky Progg is a full-fledged boss. There, four appear from separate progg eggs, which fall from the ceiling every five seconds, to give time to kill a previous progg, and shatter upon hitting the ground, releasing the Smoky Progg within.

In Pikmin 3: Dweevils' Revenge
The Smoky Progg does not appear in Pikmin 3: The Dweevil's Revenge, but it was once planned to. It has an unused Piklopedia entry.

In Pikmin E
The Smokey Progg appears as a miniboss in Pikmin E and is fought at Brilliant Garden. It behaves exactly as it did in.

In Pikmin Galaxy Adventure
The Smoky Progg is the rarest enemy in Pikmin Galaxy Adventure, only appearing once in the main story. It is fought in Progg Cavern, a secret cave found on the Pikmin Planet after beating the game. White Pikmin and Green Pikmin should be used against the Smoky Progg because depending on what color it changes, it will use that hazard; if it turns green, it uses acid, and if it turns purple, it uses poison. It roams around, so keep other Pikmin far away from it. The Smoky Progg also makes an indirect appearance in a 4-Player Battle map, its egg embedded halfway into a wall.

In Pikmin: The After Years
In Pikmin: The Afters Years, the Smoky Progg occasionally summons Progglings and a line of poison gas. White Pikmin are immune to all its attacks.

In Pikmin: Attack of the Breadbugs
The Smoky Progg makes an appearance in Pikmin: Attack of the Breadbugs as the boss of the Toxin Territory. Its egg rests in a nest of metal scraps and will not hatch until the fifth day Captain Olimar is in the Toxin Territory or it has been disturbed. It wanders around the area aimlessly, even passing through or by the landing site, and attacks only when attacked. The poison it trails will kill even White Pikmin, so caution is advised when swarming. Yet another attack of the Smoky Progg is roaring, causing Pikmin to panic and scatter, forcing Captain Olimar to recollect his squad. The Smoky Progg can only be attacked with White Pikmin, as all the other Pikmin will die from simply making any contact with it. Once killed, the Smoky Progg will melt into its shadow, leaving behind a bronze sphere worth one hundred Pikmin seeds.

In Pikspore
PS undefined

In Pikspore, the Smoky Progg is the boss of Aquatic Ruins. Like the Waterwraith, the progg's egg will sometimes fall on odd-numbered sublevels, the creature then hatching and pursuing Olimar. The creature is skeletal, bone-white with no facial features whatsoever, and instantly kills any Pikmin it touches.

The progg's egg can be seen resting on the ground of the final sublevel of the cave, and after it hatches the true progg, which is green with pink eyes, is fought. It slowly pursues Pikmin while summoning Progglings to knock them over and periodically charges blindly at its prey. Only Green Pikmin can survive its deadly onslaught of pain. Olimar comments that the white progg seen in the Aquatic Ruins may be an ethereal duplicate of the real progg, created to extract emotions, mostly fear, and bodily fluids from intruders, which are used to feed the real progg.
