Sweeper

“Meet Sweeper. A magnetic organism designed to clean Imperium Sewers. One of Dr. LaRow's many abandoned projects. Once I saw how much it wanted Imperium tech, I took a guess as to what it was. Luckily, I know enough about Imperium tech for my power to pull it out. Poor thing was just trying to do its job, hunting for Imperium garbage.”

Sweeper is a creature that was created by Dr. LaRow. It was intended to clean Imperium Sewers until it ended up at the Land of Lost Things, where it created a body of junk and became known as the Hoarder.

History

Background

Sweeper, an invention of Dr. LaRow, was initially designed to clean up the sewers in the Kingdom of Imperium. Unfortunately, like many of LaRow's other abandoned projects, Sweeper was discarded and ended up in the Land of Lost Things. However, Sweeper took advantage of its surroundings and collected all the Imperium technology it could find. As time passed, Sweeper utilized the technology to construct a mechanical structure around itself, becoming known as the Hoarder as a result.

Land of Lost Things

The Hoarder crossed paths with the ninja and the Finders, leading to a fierce confrontation. In a bid to harm them, the Hoarder resorted to throwing a car at them, which they evaded. Despite their efforts to escape, the Hoarder persisted in pursuing them and continued to throw objects at them. As the Hoarder closed in on them, the ninja and the Finders sought refuge inside a giant noodle cup, but the Hoarder attacked the cup regardless. However, Geo intervened and used his Elemental Powers to fuse the Hoarder's hand with the noodle cup. Despite the Hoarder's attempts to dislodge its hand, it was ultimately torn off in the process. The Hoarder constructed a new hand and launched an attack on Cole and Nya. Cole, recognizing the danger, suggested that Nya help Jiro while he diverted the Hoarder's attention. Cole managed to create an opportunity for them to escape, but the Hoarder continued to pursue them.

The Hoarder then invaded the Rookery, which was previously kept safe from the Hoarder by the yellow Dragon Core. Cole, utilizing his Elemental Golem form, initiated another attack on the Hoarder. Zanth subsequently joined in and managed to tear off a piece of the Hoarder. Unfortunately, the Hoarder retaliated by seizing Zanth and forcefully slamming her onto Cole. Sora used Technology against the Hoarder and effectively dismantled it by forcefully removing its head, revealing Sweeper. In a coordinated effort, Fritz and Spitz seized the opportunity and used a jar to ensnare Sweeper.
