Stan of the Swamp is running a "Critter Campers" scouting group. "Camper Doug" (Ogre) brings Borgelorp, "Camper Light Sprite" (Libby) brings Chickenphant, and "Camper Trollman" (Wally) brings Norville. "Camper Bobgoblin" shows up with his uncle Robgoblin's purple dragon, Hortis (whom he is borrowing for the day) and wants to be Wally's partner. Then Bobgoblin learns that He will have to be Great when he is Cooperating with Wally as a Partner.
