After [[Luigi]] finds the special [[key]] in the pool, Polterpup runs up and playfully takes away the key. However, unlike his fellow [[Ghost (Luigi's Mansion series)|ghosts]], the absence of the [[Dark Moon]]'s pacifying effects renders Polterpup nonviolent and mischievous, rather than hostile and aggressive. This is evident when Luigi briefly plays with him and, in the event Luigi loses all of his [[Heart Point]]s, Polterpup will even lick him back to health as long as Luigi has a [[Gold Bone]]. | ||
After Polterpup steals the special key, Luigi has no choice but to chase after him in the mission [[Doggone Key]] to retrieve the key. Luigi finally catches him, but before he can store him in the [[E. Gadd's Vault#Ghost Container|Ghost Container]], Polterpup manages to escape from the [[Poltergust 5000]] and flees yet again.

Polterpup returns yet again in the [[Treacherous Mansion]] during the mission [[Front-Door Key]]. Just before Luigi can go through the front door, Polterpup jumps out of the keyhole and knocks the key out of Luigi's hand. He flees to the basement, causing a long and paranormal chase through the odd rooms. This time, Polterpup is able to be properly kept within the Ghost Container thanks to E. Gadd's repairs. | ||

Upon being released, he unhappily approaches Luigi in acknowledgement of having caused his fair share of trouble during the absence of the Dark Moon. However, Luigi nevertheless cheers him up, much to Polterpup's delight. After Polterpup takes a celebratory photograph alongside Luigi, [[Mario]], E. Gadd, the [[Toad (species)|Toad Assistants]] and a few of his fellow ghosts, he is adopted by Luigi and accompanies him back to [[Luigi's NEW Mansion|his home]] as his new pet. | ||

After Luigi falls down the shaft, Polterpup wakes him up by licking his face. He then shows Luigi where the new [[Poltergust G-00]] is and teaches him how to use it. Later, when the ghost [[Clem]] filled the room with water, and Luigi can hardly swim with the Poltergust on his back, Polterpup pulled him out of the water. Later, Polterpup searches together with Luigi for the [[Polterkitty]] after she swallows an elevator button for the second time, and will assist him in reaching two of the trapped Toads after the respective boss fights. At the end, Polterpup saves Luigi from King Boo by pushing him aside before he is caught in a [[painting]] with Mario and [[Princess Peach]]. When the hotel collapses, Polterpup saves Luigi for the second time by catching him before he crashes to the ground. In the end, he goes back with Luigi to the Mushroom Kingdom. | ||

==Personality== | ==Personality== | ||
Polterpup | Polterpup's typical acts like a normal dog, and is playful, loyal, and energetic. Unlike the other ghosts in ''Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon'', Polterpup is friendly, harmless, and acts more like a nuisance than a threat to Luigi during his quest to retrieve the Dark Moon shards. By the end of the game, Polterpup is remorseful of his actions, and is quick to recover from his sadness, especially after befriending Luigi. E. Gadd speculates Polterpup is lonely, and his interactions with Luigi could have been a desire to gain the attention he craves. After Luigi adopts him, he develops a strong sense of loyalty towards Luigi. | ||
This loyalty is expanded upon in ''Luigi's Mansion 3'' | This loyalty is expanded upon in ''Luigi's Mansion 3'' where Polterpup acts like a guide to Luigi in the beginning of the game, and occasionally coming to Luigi's rescue when he is in true danger, including saving him from drowning and falling to his death. Polterpup's mischievous and hyperactive behavior still is intact as shown when he eats Mario's cake and appears randomly, unintentionally, spooking his owner. Other than his master, Polterpup is extremely friendly and loving towards those around Luigi, perking up and smiling around them, and was willing to befriend [[Polterkitty]], only to be rejected by her, which saddened him. | ||

==Trivia== | ==Trivia== | ||
*According to a [[ | *Polterpup is notably the only ghost that Luigi does not show any fear of in ''Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon''. Instead, Luigi will either be friendly toward him or view him as a mere nuisance, the latter of which is evident when he says, "Bad doggy!" whenever Polterpup ends up stealing important keys. | ||
*At the end of ''Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon'', Polterpup gains pupils like the other restored ghosts and retains them when he goes to live with Luigi. However, in ''Luigi's Mansion 3'', despite still being friendly, Polterpup no longer has pupils. This is likely merely an oversight on the part of the designers, and not an intentional part. | |||
*In the FAQ section of the guide in ''Luigi's Mansion 3'', Professor E. Gadd states that he is researching what breed of dog Polterpup is, and guesses that he is "...something like a silver retriever!" | |||
*According to a [[Swapnote]] message sent by [[Shigeru Miyamoto]], the Polterpup is his favorite ghost. | |||
