'''Polterpups''' are small, ghostly dogs that appear in ''[[Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon]]''. They are one of the many ghosts live 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.

==Appearance==
Polterpups are completely white, canine-like ghosts that wear either red or blue collars. Like most other ghosts, they are slightly transparent. Polterpups' eyes are white and opaque, which makes them stand out more against their transparent bodies. Unlike real dogs, Polterpups lack ears, thus their cranium is completely round.
