Everyone can use a trusty watchdog around the house (or office) - how about a watch-dino? There is a way to get Pleo to enter a watchful mode, looking out for possible intruders and alerting you with a growl or a bark, although it does involve some contortions - you may need help from a friend!

How to do it: Touch Pleo's front left leg, back left leg, back right leg, and back/shoulder sensor at the same time. To get Pleo back to his regular self: touch his chin sensor.
