## Store description

Need instant justice? Blow this whistle and Principal of the Thing will come to your aid as quickly as he can!

The **Principal Whistle** is an inventory item in *Baldi's Basics Plus* and *Baldi's Basics Classic Remastered*.

## Description

The Principal Whistle is a 3D model of a red whistle with a cropped-out background.

## Usage

When used, it makes a loud whistle sound twice. This will lure Principal of the Thing to where the player is when the whistle was blown and make him very fast.

This can be used to lure Principal of the Thing do something beneficial to the player. Such as:

* Sending It's a Bully to detention to unblock a hallway.
* Getting the player themselves in detention. This can be useful in various ways:
	+ Escaping from Baldi, especially in a dead end.
	+ Playing a tape player to distract Baldi.
	+ Attending the party event.
* Using Principal of the Thing as a shield when Beans shoots a gum into the player, so he will get hit by the gum instead.
* Letting him open a door for them. However, he may not open it sometimes.

Once Principal of the Thing arrives to the tile where the whistle was used, his speed will revert back to normal. However, there are some cases when he reverts to normal speed eariler than usual:

* Something interrupts him on his path to the player, such as It's a Bully.
* When he sees the player breaking a rule before using this item.
* When the Principal tries to send It's a Bully to detention.

In *Baldi's Basics Classic Remastered*, when it is used in NULL/Glitch Style, it will alert Null/the red `Baldloon` to the position where the player used it and cause them to speed up dramatically to the point where they will catch the player almost instantly unless the player moves and uses a Dirty Chalk Eraser quickly. Unlike Principal of the Thing, these characters will not slow down even after they reach the location. If the player uses the Principal Whistle out of bounds, Principal of the Thing will go through the walls and then get stuck in place. He will not partake action if he is in an exit or the outdoor area.
