Hydroharvesters are large enemy vessels in Ratchet & Clank. They were blargian vessels resembling flying millipedes, sent by Drek Industries to drain water from Pokitaru to be used for New Quartu. These vessels were made up of a dark red front carriage, with two engines to their side, from where they were piloted, and five transparent container tanks filled with water. The bottom of their containers was where these vessels would absorb water from. This is demonstrated on Pokitaru, where one was seen flying above the pumping station built by the blarg to drain water from the oceans. This drove the wildlife, including puffoids and telepathopuses, to land where they attacked guests.

The hydroharvesters appeared to use the same quantum compression technology as the Hydrodisplacer, for collecting and transporting far greater volumes of water than they appeared capable of.

Plans for the hydroharvester were accidentally revealed by Skidd McMarx in a transmission to his uncle, Agnogg Buckwash, while he was opening his McMarx Sports Shack on Aridia. The blarg then attacked Aridia, as well as Novalis, where Skidd's uncle was located. Later, when Ratchet and Clank were on Batalia, Grimroth Razz sent them a transmission through an infobot, requesting that they help his brother, Felton Razz, on Pokitaru. When the two arrived, they found the hydroharvesters extracting water through the pumping station. In "Find the technician", Ratchet and Clank helped Felton get across the island to find Al, who was able to install a Teslablast weapons kit to their class-g Star Jumper. This included Teslarockets, capable of destroying the harvesters' containers. Next, in "Destroy the hydroharvesters", Ratchet and Clank used these rockets to destroy each vessel, causing the blarg to flee.
