Despite the change in diet and sport, Hughie did not lose a pound, but weeks later, he was not just a bit round, he was becoming obese. Ki-Rul recommended a doctor in the swamp who knew about such cases. With this tip, the bat went to him.

However, the investigation revealed that Hughie is in good shape. That was because the swampdragons had a different ideal about the body shape and therefore Hughie looked quite normal. Disappointed, he left the doctor and flew home with difficulty.
