Here’s the final entry! I’m really happy with how all this turned out! Also, I think I may make a new commission type/ych based on the Vitruvian Man style. Also, I’m happy that I tried a different, more objective writing style for this sequence. I think it was a bit dryer than my normal work, but I’m glad that I experimented with it.

Date: May 4th, 1490
Weight: 909 pounds

Description:
To say that Angelo is obese would be an insult to the very term; he has become so incredibly corpulent that a new term may have to be created for someone of his stature. His arms are punctuated by sagging bags of adipose, he has developed about three to four chins, and his tail has become weighed down with a hefty amount of lard. Both his thighs and his calves have become bloated to a truly impressive degree. At this point, it is a miracle that the dragon can even stand while having that enormous lard-laden boulder encompassing his form. His belly plates are clearly parted now, revealing a vast expanse of scaly flesh between them.

Report:
Over the course of the past month, Angelo has gained an utterly astounding 731 pounds of pure adipose. To say that this is a monumental feat would be an incredible understatement. I doubt anyone has ever been able to pack on 200 pounds in a single month, let alone over 700. With him imbuing twelve Laetus Vials daily, it’s no wonder his weight has skyrocketed so rapidly. The dragon is liable to consume seven to ten meals each day, with each meal being enough to feed at least fifteen people easily.

Although the meals did not grow in size for the first three days since my last report, for the last two days, his meals have consisted of at least three roast boars, an entire roast cow, five bushels of fruit, and ten sizeable cakes. Needless to say, the kitchen staff have been working frantically to appease his enormous appetite. Angelo is overjoyed with these developments, as I have witnessed him caressing, jostling, and squeezing his massive bulk at several points in recent times, his focus entirely dedicated to his supple rolls of lard. His stomach is rarely silent, often making sloshing noises at the slightest disturbance. At the end of meals, I have observed his belches startling birds over one hundred feet away.

And, strangest of all, Angelo seems almost entirely unhindered by his enormous form. Although he does become wedged in doorways on certain occasions, he has been overall unhindered in terms of movement. In between meals, I still see him walking through the gardens at a brisk pace, as though the weight simply weren’t there. In addition, his fortitude has become rather noteworthy. He tripped and fell down a long flight of stairs, and although he should have gotten some considerable injuries from this, he rose unscathed, aside from some slight grumbling.

I further tested both of these observations by asking him to fly. At first, Angelo laughed, assuming that I was joking. I then asked him to drop straight down at seventy feet. This produced more laughter from the massive drake, but, after much food-based bargaining, I convinced him (speaking of which, when Angelo is transferred to your organization's facility, he is expecting at least 300 pounds of honey to be waiting for him.) Amazingly, he was able to fly with some minor difficulty. I had not seen him fly during his entire time here, making the sight rather fascinating. When he dropped down, he fell to the ground with enough force to actually leave a crater in the grass, about three feet deep. And, he was still free of any real injuries, however, he made it very clear to me that he was feeling rather sore.

He made this even more clear by promptly tackling me. Although this was likely meant to be playful, I don’t think he fully grasped just how much damage a 900-pound dragon could do to a scrawny deer. I was forced to spend the rest of the day in the medical ward, but, thankfully, no bones were broken. Despite the injuries, I found the experience of being smothered by his enormous heft rather... enjoyable, strangely enough. Angelo was very apologetic for what happened, yet I would have forgiven him even if he acted indifferently.

However, the aforementioned observations make me believe that the Laetus Vial actually improves one’s overall endurance, surprisingly enough. Although it is possible that this is proportional to the quantity of liquid injested, I theorize that endurance increases with the amount of fat an individual has. This is a rather startling breakthrough. This data makes it even more important for us to perform more testing on new patients.

Additional Note:
Both Angelo and I thank you again for this opportunity. He has agreed to be transported to the new facility your organization has designed. I would be lying if I said I would not miss the man. I would like to place an inquiry for possible communication and visitation between the two of us. I will be sending about one hundred Laetus vials with him, however, I am unsure whether or not he will require them, as I doubt their effects are reversible. I look forward to the possibility of acquiring new subjects, and I hope that you agree to all of my requests.

Notice to all employees: The CEO wants us to acquire this formula as soon as possible. This could be the breakthrough we have been looking for. Speak with Mr. Horowitz, Head of Archaeological Pursuits, for more information on expeditions sign-ups.
