: We should place this as an alternate or special form as you said its larger and has double health but also is wearing a blue collar. So it should only be placed as a special ghost for the <b>ScareScraper</b> until its confirmed for singleplayer. - [[User:Cubeguy|Cubeguy]]

Polterpups turn golden when you're vacuuming them up... so that may be it. [[User:Peanutjon|Peanutjon]] ([[User talk:Peanutjon|talk]]) 19:05, 15 April 2013 (EDT)
== Name? ==
What is the dogs name? Is it chaser? Or simply Polterpup? {{unsigned|‎Iggykoopa321}}
:I think it's just Polterpup. I don't think these even have a name. {{User:LeftyGreenMario/sig}} 23:26, 9 April 2013 (EDT)
::Its name in the vault is ?????, it really doesnt have one besides that. It may be due for use later on in other games, or its up to the player to decide, it's a neat thing they added that gets you thinking. - [[File:Cubeguy2ver.png|30px]][[User:Cubeguy|Cubeguy]][[User talk:Cubeguy|(talk)]]
== Rewriting ==
So originally Polterpup was based off of [[Polterpup (character)|the character's]] appearances. So i changed it. But I don't think I did very well so can someone else help too? [[User:Peanutjon|Peanutjon]] ([[User talk:Peanutjon|talk]]) 16:35, 23 April 2013 (EDT)
== Merge to [[Polterpup]] and/or split {{fake link|Big Polterpup}} ==
{{Settled TPP}}
{{Proposal outcome|passed|9-0-0-0|merge to Polterpup and split Big Polterpup}}
As a subject, this really doesn't have a lot going for it distinct from the "main" one. They have blue collars, only appear in a side-mode, and otherwise act ''exactly'' the same. They seem more a simple counterpart to the plot-relevant one created for said side-mode rather than a distinct subject. They have different vault entries, but so do the boss ghost retextures from the same mode we ''don't'' split.
That being said, ''Big'' Polterpup can be split. It has its own name, a different size, and slightly different behavior, so it'd match how we treat other officially split "big" enemies.

===Do both===
#{{user|Doc von Schmeltwick}} - Per
#{{User|Tails777}} Per proposal.
#{{User|Bazooka Mario}} Distinction between character and species based on collar color is a bit hair-splitting especially in the span of, what, 2-4 total appearances and I just think an article that covers both the character and the species works better than a split page.
#{{User|WildWario}} Per proposal.
#{{User|Archivist Toadette}} The "species" may just be a one-off for the ScareScraper mode anyways, just like the "copies" of Luigi and Gooigi in that same mode.
#{{User|Ray Trace}} Per all, this split has always bothered me.
#{{User|TheFlameChomp}} Per all.
#{{User|Swallow}} Per all. The article could still refer to Polterpup as a singular individual, but note that multiple ones are in Scarescraper.
#{{User|RHG1951}} Per all.
===Only merge to the character article===
===Only split Big Polterpup===
<s>#{{User|Hewer}} The article could probably do with a bit of a rewrite, but I think that a split like this is justifiable if the character and species both appear in the same game with a distinction between them (the blue collars and being enemies), like how we handle [[Big Boo]] and [[Big Boo (boss)]].</s>
===Do nothing===
===Comments===
@Hewer They're as much enemies as Polterpup the red in ''Dark Moon'', and Big Boo's something I want to try merging soon as well. [[User:Doc von Schmeltwick|Doc von Schmeltwick]] ([[User talk:Doc von Schmeltwick|talk]]) 20:25, April 26, 2022 (EDT)
