| '''Polterpups''' are ghost [[dog]]s in ''[[Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon]]''. During several missions in the game, [[Luigi]] encounters a sole Polterpup that takes various objects of importance that he needs. These objects range from [[Key]]s to [[Gold Bone]]s. A Polterpup, the only one encountered in the story, may also revive Luigi when he's lost all of his [[Heart Point|HP]] if he happens to have a Gold Bone with him. When a Polterpup has taken something, Luigi must track it down using the [[Dark-Light Device|Dark-Light]] function. When the Polterpup is found, he must suck it up. Upon being sucked up, their color changes to gold. This single Polterpup, named ??? and sporting a red collar instead of the usual blue, consistently escapes from the [[Poltergust 5000]]. It is eventually caught and put in the [[Vault (Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon)|Vault]] after the first mission in the [[Treacherous Mansion]].
| |
| | |
| Polterpups also appear in their own [[ScareScraper]] mode: Polterpup Mode. In this mode, the group must find the kennels or locations where the Polterpups are hiding and capture them all. Each Polterpup has 50 [[Heart Point|HP]], except for Big Polterpups, which have 100 HP. Big Polterpups are found only in Polterpup Mode.<ref>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5uswNpCwIQA</ref>

| In the game's ending, it is shown that Luigi keeps the Polterpup met in the story as a pet. It falls asleep in Luigi's lap at the end of the game.

| ==Trivia==
| |
| *When a Polterpup goes through a wall, it leaves an imprint, referencing the Slimer from ''[[wikipedia:Ghostbusters (film)|Ghostbusters]]''.
| |
| *Despite being a ghost itself, other ghosts seem to have a dislike of Polterpups, which is shown at the [[Old Clockworks]] where one of them steals a clockhand from some [[Greenie]]s.
| |
| *A [[Nintendo 3DS#Swapnote|Swapnote]] message regarding ''Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon'' was sent by [[Shigeru Miyamoto]] prior to the game's release. According to the note, the Polterpup is Miyamoto's favorite ghost in the game.
| |
| *The Polterpup, ???, is the only ghost in the Vault without a name.
| |
| *Despite only one Polterpup appearing in Story Mode, after capturing it, it still restores Luigi's HP when he is out.
| |
| *Aside from their mischievous behavior, for some reason, Polterpups do not act vicious nor villainous when the Dark Moon is shattered.
