| '''Polterpups''' are ghost [[dog]]s in ''[[Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon]]''. During the game, Luigi encounters a sole Polterpup throughout several missions in the game and take various objects of importance that [[Luigi]] needs. These range from [[Key]]s to [[Gold Bones]]. A Polterpup, the one only encountered in the story, may also revive Luigi, who has lost all of his [[Heart Point|HP]], if Luigi happens to have a Gold Dog Bone with him. When a Polterpup has taken something, Luigi must track it down using the [[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 ?????, consistently escapes from the [[Poltergust 5000]]. Unlike other Polterpups, it seems to not be affected by the [[Dark Moon]]'s shattering, as according to [[Professor E. Gadd]], it is only playing with Luigi. It is eventually caught and put in the vault after the first mission in the [[Treacherous Mansion]].

| | |
| Polterpups also appear in a specific multiplayer mode called [[ScareScraper|Polterpup Mode]]. In this mode, the group must find the kennels or locations where the Polterpups are hiding and acquire them all. Each Polterpup has 50 [[Heart Point|HP]], except for Big Polterpups, which have 100 HP, are found only in Polterpup mode of the [[ScareScraper]].<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, which was shown to sleep with Luigi at the end of the game.

| |
| *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.
