Similar to the Microphone, will sometimes send messages via Twitter (@ILBLōotcrates). will also echo messages that receive one thousand upshells in the Feed, sending them out via Twitter.
==Visual Appearance==
, when shown in game, takes on the appearance of a stack of crates, with a sparkling background - Likely glitter weather - behind them. Sometimes Lōotcrates has the gate or an image of the gate on one of their crates. Each crate has a black triangle on each of its sides, likely a 'this way down' arrow meant to indicate what way the box should be oriented.
==Characteristics==
 speaks in cryptic phrases that resemble poetry or riddles, displayed in italicized grey text in quotation marks. However, their words often turn out to be meant literally.
 is dedicated to Preservation, and typically seeks to 'preserve' players, teams, or items by vaulting them.
 often introduces terms completely unfamiliar to fans or other beings, such as 'the delta', 'tributaries', and 'accretion'. Many of these terms deal with rivers or cosmic phenomenon such as stars and black holes. The usage of such terminology is especially common in library commentary.'They told me to read this... also.. "nucleosynthesis". no idea what that means' - The Monitor, reading a MVP speech presumably written by 
==Relations==
 mainly acts as an impartial figure, generally staying out of other gods conflicts, though they will often nudge things to try to achieve an outcome they see as preferable.
Though Coin often praised Lōotcrates, Lōotcrates sometimes would speak veiled complaints about her management, and other times seemingly undermining her plans (such as distributing the detective and Chorby Soul replicas to the Gift Shop)' Upstream, Banks are trawled. Names Remembered. legends Crafted. In the name of Fairness, The Current Dammed, Mistakes Repeated. Awaiting horizon. ' - Lōotcrates, in their first message after the unredaction of Parker MacMillan, noting the fans un-censorship of the library and seemingly deriding the Coins management decisions
 'Classified information has been Leaked. All due to another disappointing oversight By Our Gift Shop Manager.Security Clearances were bypassed. Our Historian's generosity was violated. These Leaks must stop at once.' - The Coin, speaking against the un-redaction of library entries and blaming the MonitorLōotcrates is the first character to mention Namerifeht, via the writing of the library entries.
Lōotcrates seems to have a contentious relationship with The Reader, having a number of small squabbles with them.'The reader interjects. Projects upon the text. fishes from neighboring streams. Flailing against the current. At the delta, the historian collects the sea' - Lōotcrates, in response to the readers season 17 reading which gave the uncertain necklace of entanglement and force field of observation. Right after these words, the reader cut off this speech with a 'Materia Materia' message.
Amid rising tides, a curious read. Undertow tugs against the current. Sunken costs.' - Lōotcrates, seemingly in response to the growing conflict between reader and coin over Edensity
'The historian calls safe an open vault advances runners escaping horizon' "holding. flag on the play. interception" - a late season 24 argument between Lōotcrates and Reader on if teams should flee to the vault or not.
