The Smoky Progg is a monster in the Pikmin. He appears in the Distant Spring stage in Pikmin and does not reappear in Pikmin 2. Any Pikmin can be used to defeat this foe, as it heads directly to the player's base. They first are encountered when coming out of a giant egg. This foe loses a little bit of damage in the process. Then, a Smoky Progg comes out. If its smoky trail catches a Pikmin, the Pikmin become defeated. Olimar has to throw them on its head, so the Pikmin does damage to the foe. As the back is entirely gaseous, it defeats Pikmin when they even go to the area. When this foe is defeated, it drops a pearl which can be carried back to the onion to harvest one hundred Pikmin total.
