A concept for the Eradicator agents.
- "I don't like the look of those fellows either. Stay out of sight and away from those beams!" — Gnarl during the first encounter with an Eradicator.
Eradicator Agents are large, muscular Humans, who use a machine to hoover up any creatures of magic ability. They also use the vacuum as a close-quarter combat weapon.
They wear gladiator-like armour and are frequently found patrolling the walls of the Everlight Facility and other Empire buildings of importance, like the Empire Arena Dungeons and The Empire Sewers. They are never heard speaking in the game and only make grunting noises.

Strategy[]
Eradicators can be difficult to deal with, but if possible, stealth is always the best approach. Try to use Greens to sneak up behind them (wait until they stand still at the end of their patrolling path to backstab, as they take longer to react), and if that fails, you can get the Overlord in battle to avoid losing too many Minions. Eradicators are not particularly tough, but due to their fast attack speed, they will constantly drain both the Overlord's health and mana.
While traversing the Everlight Facility, you can find cages of Gnomes, which can be opened. Once released, they will rush towards the Eradicators, with the agents quickly focusing on them. This is a good opportunity to sneak up on the Eradicator with your Greens, allowing for a backstab. However, the gnome diversions can have an adverse effect, as the Eradicators may not return to their patrol path but instead stand at the site of the last gnome, making the area impassable without high casualties. The quickest way to win against them in the facility is to release the Giant Pandas also held captive here. Due to their large size, these creatures are not affected by the Eradicator's weapons, making short work of these foes.
