'''Polterpups''' are small, ghostly dogs that appear in ''[[Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon]]''. They are one of the many ghosts living in [[Evershade Valley]], and are typically friendly, but when the [[Dark Moon]] shattered they became very mischievous. There is one main [[Polterpup (character)|Polterpup]] that appears throughout story mode, but other Polterpups only appear in the [[ScareScraper]].
 
In the ScareScraper mode, they are featured in their own mode: Polterpup Mode. In Polterpup Mode, the Luigis must hunt down as many Polterpups as possible by using their [[Dark-Light Device]]s to see the footprints. Once a Polterpup has been located, he must be flashed with the Strobulb and vacuumed up. Each Polterpup has 50 HP, but [[Luigi]] can find a Big Polterpup, which has 100 HP.
 
Unlike the [[Polterpup (character)|Polterpup]] in Dark Moon Quest, or any other ghost in the game, regular and Big Polterpups in ScareScraper always drop a Gold Bar when captured, even if the Poltergust 5000 is at minimal power. This means that they will drop an additional Gold Bar on top of whatever Power Surge a Luigi uses to drain its health, from two Gold Bars from a Blue Surge up to four from a Red Surge. A Polterpup drops five Gold Bars if it is captured with another ghost from a Red Surge.
 
==Appearance==
Polterpups are white, canine-like ghosts that wear either red or blue collars. Like most other ghosts, they are slightly see-through. Polterpups' eyes are white and opaque, which makes them unique against their transparent bodies. Unlike real dogs, Polterpups lack ears, thus their head is completely rounded.

==Trivia==
*According to a [[Swapnote]] message sent by [[Takashi Tezuka]], the Polterpup is his least favorite ghost.
*Polterpups leave invisible imprints when they jump through walls, floors, or ceilings, similarly to Slimer from ''[[wikipedia:Ghostbusters|Ghostbusters]]''.
