Ghost Container Description

Normally very playful and kind, the Polterpups started misbehaving after the Dark Moon shattered. (Scarescraper Ghosts Section)

Big Polterpup- This pooch is big, so it might take more than one ghost hunter to keep him under control!

I haven't come up with a name for this mischievous and adorable Polterpup yet. He's caused us a whole mess of trouble, but I think the playful tyke just wants someone to take him in. (Evershade Valley Ghosts section)
