The Gup-H is a Gup that debuts in the Season 4 episode "The Poison Dart Frogs." It is built to look like a dragonfly. The "H" in its name stands for helicopter, and it is used to soar above the sea and watch the animals that hop in and out of the water. A toy version has already been built off of this Gup. It also appears in the episode, "The Baby Sea Turtles."
It is mainly driven by Tweak with Tunip in another seat beside her, but she has been seen with Peso in the passenger seat in The Axolotl and Kwazii in The Grey Whales. Every time the Gup is in use, the driver and rider both wear helmets with eye covers.
