The Puppet Master is a special timed powerup that can only be obtained once the player has fragged 5 enemies with the punchy. The player gains 200 health and shield instantly and a major increase in speed. However, they are restricted to using the Punchy, making it a one-hit kill once they manage to bite someone.

In the 1.0 and 1.1 versions of the game, the Puppet Master used to make the player completely invulnerable to all types of damage for 30 seconds instead, and used to give a large speed boost. This was later nerfed due to players complaining about it being very unbalanced, which it was.
