Template:Justreleased Template:Species-infobox Polterpups are ghost dogs in Luigi's Mansion Dark Moon. These dogs take various objects of importance that Luigi needs. These range from Keys to Gold Dog Bones. A Polterpup may also revive Luigi, who has lost all of his HP, if Luigi happens to have a Gold Dog Bone with him.[1] When a Polterpup has taken something, the player must track it down using the Dark Light function. When the Polterpup is found, they must suck it up. Upon being sucked up, their color changes to gold.

Polterpups also appear in a specific multiplayer mode called 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 HP, except for Big Polterpups, which have 100 HP are only found in Polterpup mode of the Scarescraper.[2]

In the game's ending, it is shown that Luigi keeps a Polterpup for his own at his house.[3]
