The Swampies were originally native to [[Delta Magna]], but were moved to [[Delta III]], one of the planet's [[moon]]s by Human colonists, who they referred to as "dry foots". They had Human allies in the group, [[Sons of Earth]]. However the Sons' form of support proved ineffective. They predicted this with their sacred relic, actually the fifth segment of the [[Key to Time]], and accepted this movement. | The Swampies were originally native to [[Delta Magna]], but were moved to [[Delta III]], one of the planet's [[moon]]s by Human colonists, who they referred to as "dry foots".

The colonists also transplanted several [[giant squid]] to the moon for the Swampies to hunt. One of these ate the sacred relic and [[mutation|mutated]] into the "[[god]]", [[Kroll]]. When the Humans discovered that [[methane]] could be gathered on the moon they set up a refinery to gather it. They also gathered [[protein]] that was sent to Delta Magna. This angered the Swampies, who turned to a religious leader, [[Ranquin]]. | The colonists also transplanted several [[giant squid]] to the moon for the Swampies to hunt.

They were supplied with guns by [[Rohm-Dutt]]. They praised Kroll at night, intending to attack the dry foots the next day. They encountered a patrol in the swamp and fired. The guns misfired and Kroll appeared and attacked them. | They were supplied with guns by [[Rohm-Dutt]]. They praised Kroll at night, intending to attack the dry foots the next day.

They realised that Rohm-Dutt was working for the refinery, they took him prisoner. They also captured [[Fourth Doctor|The Doctor]] and [[Romana II|Romana]]. They devised an elaborate execution for them but they escaped. They pursued them but Kroll attacked them. This shook their belief in Kroll as their god. | They realised that Rohm-Dutt was working for the refinery, they took him prisoner.

The Swampies attacked the refinery as did Kroll. Kroll killed Ranquin and the Doctor restored the beast to his normal size. The refinery was closed and the Swampies freed from its oppression.
