The Hoard

"Uh oh. They're here. LittleBigPlanet is once again under threat, this time from the greedy, grabbing Hoard. The Hoard scavenge and collect prizes, materials, and objects, but never use these treasures to create and share, all they want to do is keep, to stash, to hoard. No, Sackfriend, your little legs may be perfectly knitted, but even they are no match for the Hoard and their raggen-bone racers. This is a battle to be fought on a different arena: a racetrack."

- The narrator explaining the Hoard to Sackboy.

The Hoard are the main antagonists of the 2012 racing video game LittleBigPlanet Karting. They are a race of Sackperson-like thieves that seek to steal everything in the Craftverse that they can for the sole purpose of stashing it away on their home planet.

History
The story begins after the events of LittleBigPlanet 2. The narrator is introducing Sackboy when the Hoard swoop in and begin racing around in their karts, stealing everything they can grab in the landscape. Sackboy wants to fight them off, but the narrator informs him that he will need a race car to take on the Hoard, challenging them to races and vehicular combat to defeat them.

After getting his cart, Sackboy goes to LittleBigPlanet's Craftworld and meets up with the Queen, who asks that Sackboy help rid the Hoard menace from the land, as they have been stealing treasure and harassing livestock. Sackboy agrees and races the Hoard, winning and driving them away from the kingdom. Next, he goes to the honeymoon of Frita and Don Lu, where the Hoard have stolen all f the wedding presents. Sackboy races again and drives the Hoard away, then goes to the Canyons and races them in the Serpent Shrine and Mines.
