Yooka
While normally shown fit, a recurring gag with Yooka is for his gut to hang out while he's feeling dejected or isn't thinking clearly. Dr. Puss later feeds Yooka some elemental berries she super charged with exploding bug DNA. It gives Yooka the ability to spit out powerful blasts at the cost of ballooning him up with energy.
Laylee
Early in the story, the pair are relaxing and eating snacks while contemplating an offer from Trowzer. Due to her smaller size, Laylee gains a little weight during this scene and later shown completely stuffed the next day. Later on, they run into a large corplet who tries to identify them via a crudely drawn doodle. Laylee's doodle appears bloated and the pair both look like their doodles on the next page.
