An enemy in Pikmin: New World. It is a variety of elemental ground-based blowhogs that looks identical to the Watery or Fiery Blowhogs except with a shiny-black tip to its snout and tint to its skin. It also has a strange, smoky pattern to its skin. It is uncommon to find on the surface just like the other blowhogs in the game. It blasts a hazy, poison gas that instead of looking like normal poison gas looks like the poison gas created by the smoky progg. This blast will kill all types of pikmin except for White Pikmin.

Strategy

Simply swarm the blowhog. The Pikmin should be called back when the Blowhog begins to buck. If the Pikmin are thrown off, then they usually lose their flowers, and non-whites will have trouble with the poison jet. Calling the Pikmin with the whistle will save them if they get in contact with the gas. As always, a considerable amount of Purple Pikmin will kill the Blowhog if thrown onto it. You can also leave some whites alone to face the Smoky Blowhog without harm, but steer the Blowhog away from any potential danger.
