| '''Polterpups''' are medium-sized, ghost dogs that appear in ''[[Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon]]''. They are one of the many ghosts living in [[Evershade Valley]], and are normally friendly, but when the [[Dark Moon]] shattered, they started causing mischief. There is one main [[Polterpup (character)|Polterpup]] that appears throughout story mode, but other Polterpups only appear in some locations of [[Haunted Towers]].
| |
| | |
| Polterpups also appear in the [[ScareScraper]]. In the ScareScraper mode, they are featured in their own mode: Polterpup Mode. In Polterpup Mode, the [[Luigi]]s 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 40 HP, but Luigi can find a Big Polterpup, which has 80 HP.
| |
| | |
| Regular and Big Polterpups in ScareScraper mode 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 six Gold Bars if it is captured with another ghost from a Red Surge.

| ==Appearance==
| |
| Polterpups are shown as white, slightly transparent canine-like ghosts. Polterpups' eyes are white and opaque, which makes them stand out against their transparent bodies. Unlike real dogs, Polterpups lack ears, thus their head is completely rounded.
