Fog, formerly known as gloom, is a returning hazard in Pikmin 2... Again?. It is in the form of a radical red fog. The only known enemies that utilize it are the Smoky Progg, and the Supreme Dweevil in the Final Challenge. Fog can instantly kill Pikmin with no chance to save them, just like explosions and acid, and no Pikmin types are resistant to it. Fog is one of the rarest hazards, even more than the acid, because fog only comes from two enemies and doesn't have any other sources.

The reason for gloom being renamed to fog is that many enemies that use wither have "gloom" on their name, to avoid confusion.
