History
10 years ago when Eggs was a baby, Snatcher ordered his father, Herbert Trubshaw to build something to help him with his plan. Trubshaw refused and then Snatcher tried to take the baby from him, but Hubert saved baby Eggs by giving him to the Boxtrolls for safekeeping.

Snatcher used it to his advantage and tells Lord Portley-Rind that the Boxtrolls have eaten a human baby and vows to destroy them in exchange for a White Hat. As the years pass Snatcher and his henchmen capture more Boxtrolls and take them away to his lair. In reality he forced every boxtroll he captured to build the mecha drill as well as keeping them hidden.
