Silkie is the pet of the Teen Titans and is most close to Starfire. Silkie tends to eat anything and everything around. Silkie briefly became an immortal king but threw up the Sandwich of Power. When approached by Trigon, Silkie asked for wings. Silkie once went on a trip to Mexico while Starfire was away from Jump City. Silkie became wrapped up in a love triangle between a woman named Sonia and her ex-boyfriend Carlos. Silkie escaped imprisonment, defeated Carlos, and freed Sonia before departing. Silkie returned just after Starfire returned and the others admitted they lost him. During Teen Titans Try-Outs, Silkie was fused with a rabbit by B'Wana Beast. Silkie was turned into a genius by a spell Beast Boy cast to make himself smart. Silkie went to work on building a giant robot based on his likeness to destroy an asteroid on a collison course with Earth.
Robin, Cyborg, and Beast Boy returned Silkie to his previous owner Killer Moth a very, very large cash reward. Starfire's hunch was correct and Killer Moth had an evil plan in store for Silkie. He bathed it in a bath of chemicals that would mutate it into his harbinger of death and allow him to take over the world. Silkie simply became larger, gained the ability to fly, talk, and became even cuter. Silkie professed its love for Starfire and flew off with her and Raven. After chasing Robin, Beast Boy, and Cyborg into a dumpster, the trio went on many other adventures. Robin carries a special whistle to summon Silkie and utilized it when the time was shrunken and needed to get to Cyborg's body. Silkie participated in Starfire and General Thraxis' wedding as the priest. Overpowered by five Robins due to the Mysterious Prism, Silkie was their only hope. He ate the prism and split into five - Barfy, Lazy, Passion, Hungry, and Intelligent. Intelligent Silkie took over the Silkie Robot and easily defeated the last Robin.
As Beast Boy, Raven, Robin, and Starfire tried to meditate and find out how to get back to an alternate dimension and rescue Cyborg, Silkie crawled past. Silkie stopped and barfed several objects. The barf spelled out B.E.R., the band who created "The Night Begins to Shine". But no one saw it. Silkie was a judge at a Halloween costume contest. The Titans tried to make their own movie. Raven was in charge of make up. She tested out her concoction on Silkie first. He had a bad reaction and his face became ugly. To fool the boys on the team that she was still at the slumber party, Starfire put Silkie in her sleeping bag with a red wig. The Titans cosplayed in anticipation of ThunderCats Roar. Silkie was dressed up like Snarf. During the Justice League's Next Top Idol Star: Justice League Edition, Silkie performed a trumpet during Robin and Beast Boy's jazz performance.
Beetlejuice got hungry and ate Silkie to Starfire's horror and demanded he spit him out. He didn't understand. She stated seriously Silkie was not a snack. Beetlejuice summoned a portable restroom, went inside, then came back out and handed Silkie to Starfire. Beetlejuice joked he shouldn't eat crabs anyway because they gave him gas and he farted. Silkie trembled in Starfire's arms. After Jinx's surprise birthday party and Dr. Light's latest defeat, Robin spied Silkie digging a hole on the island and throwing in a garbage bag full of skeletons. Silkie noticed Robin and glared. After noting Beast Boy, Raven, and Starfire were gone and he had no one to be his partner for the annual Matropolis Ping-Pong Invitational, Cyborg thought Robin was alluding to Silkie. Robin got mad and smacked Silkie off his palm. Starfire realized Silkie was missing and frantically searched the tower for him. The others admitted it was awhile since they last saw him. Robin even noted they used to try and squeeze him into a few missions here and there but there wasn't much he could do. Starfire cried in anguish.
Robin vowed they would find Silkie using their world class detective skills. They followed Silkie's green slime trail into the home gym. Beast Boy turned on the treadmill and discovered a bottle of baby oil. Cyborg found a big can of spray tan. Raven found a map of central Europe. Robin deduced Silkie left to become a world famous bodybuilder and speculated about what happened. Silkie trained at a gym but his new robust upper body annoyed Sergei, the reigning champion. He sneaked around the gym and got up behind Silkie and snapped his pants. He mocked the pants, declaring real bodybuilders wore booty shorts. While both were on trampolines during reps with barbells, Silkie's pants fell and revealed he had actual chicken legs for legs. Sergei and everyone else in the gym laughed at him and he fled in shame. Silkie considered giving up on his dream to become a world famous bodybuilder. He sulked in an alley while eating a bucket of chicken legs. He heard a voice behind him telling him having chicken legs didn't mean he had to be a chicken, it just meant he had to train like one. The coach leaned out the window.
Silkie was inspired. The coach's training methods were unconventional. He threw a rooster on the treadmill to chase after Silkie. Silkie did squats above a nest of newly born chicks while he held baskets filled to the top with eggs, two hens sitting on each arm, and coach sitting on his shoulders hitting his head with a chicken leg. Silkie did heel raises on a bar while he wore a basket filled to the top with hens. He tried to take a break but one of the hens on the bar turned out to be the coach in disguise. He yelled "No breaks!" into his bullhorn and reminded Silkie he wanted to see diamonds in his calves. Some time later, Silkie and Sergei faced off against each other in the bodybuilder competition. Sergei vowed to crush him. In round one, they flexed their pecs so much so that their pecs traded punches. In round two, they did their poses. Sergei flexed and formed "MOM" on his back. Silkie countered with a Maneki-Neko. In round three, Silkie flexed and formed Abraham Lincoln on a bicep. Sergei countered with a windmill. Silkie countered with a hand holding a tea cup. Sergei countered with sticks of dynamite.
The final category was calves. Silkie couldn't match Sergei's calves. Sergei taunted him, saying he should go back to the farm. Silkie tried one final squeeze and formed diamonds. Sergei fell on his butt and admitted he had never seen anything more beautiful and teared up. He backed away but fell out of the ring. Silkie was crowned the champion and he went on to win more titles and come the greatest bodybuilder of all time. Starfire felt Robin was jumping to conclusions so they followed the slime into her bedroom. Raven discovered a book of method acting amid Starfire's dolls. Cyborg speculated Silkie went to become a movie star. Cyborg made up a story that Silkie left the Titans Tower to become a movie star but couldn't find any work because nobody understood him. After being passed on at another audition, Silkie took a speech class to learn how to speak. The teacher told him the secret to concise acting was mastering the one-liner. He asked Silkie to repeat after him. The teacher used "She sells sea shells by the seashore," "Peter Piper picked a pepper," and "I scream, you scream, we scream for ice cream" but quickly noticed Silkie only blabbered.
The teacher had a sneaking suspicion and looked inside his mouth. He discovered Silkie was literally tongue tied. He untwisted until Silkie's tongue was no longer tied up. Silkie could now speak. The teacher told him to go forth and act. Silkie made hit after hit like "Alien Hunter," "Pre-School Police," and "Mechannihilator." Silkie earned the award for best one-liner. He flexed so hard he tore his tuxedo. The teacher was in the audience and clapped for him. Starfire thought it was far fetched. They followed the slime to the kitchen. Cyborg found an old restaurant menu. Beast Boy speculated Silkie started his own restaurant. During a dinner between Silkie and his celebrity friends Wesley Snipes, Jean Claude van Damme, and Linda Hamilton, Silkie realized they liked to eat and they were all celebrities. He convinced them to invest in a restaurant called Celebrity Eats. However, Silkie was a terrible cook. People left in disgust night after night. Without paying customers, Celebrity Eats went broke. Snipes, van Damme, and Hamilton went bankrupt and lost all their money and houses.
Silkie offered to house their stuff in Celebrity Eats. All of a sudden, customers came in droves. People were willing to eat the terrible food if they could look at and take photos of their stuff. Silkie, Snipes, van Damme, and Hamilton became very rich again. Starfire pointed out Silkie did not cook and only ate take out. They followed the slime to the living room and found a Voter's Guide covered in bird feathers. Raven thought Silkie went to run for governor. Silkie's platform was to pass a law that would make it mandatory for birds to wear a diaper so he or no one would be pooped on ever again. Silkie's opponent was the Penguin who advocated for the birds' right to poop anywhere. Silkie's message was more powerful and he won by a landslide and became the new governor. Starfire didn't believe that either. Raven admitted they made everything up so she wouldn't worry. Cyborg mused that would have been quite a life if Silkie did do all those things. Starfire didn't believe anyone could have a life that magnificent. They failed to notice Silkie left a letter in his food dish saying he will be back.
During Robin's family sitcom, "The Titans," Robin used Silkie to swallow the water shooting out of the broken sink in the bathroom. Eventually, Silkie got bigger and bigger and took up all the space into the house then all the water gushed out. Silkie deflated like a balloon. During the Justice League's Next Top Talent Idol Star: Dance Crew Edition, Silkie performed DJ duties for Cyborg and Beast Boy during their routine inspired by "The Fugitive." While Beast Boy and Cyborg were in the middle of a Tom and Jerry feud, they chased each other in Starfire's bedroom. Cyborg, in a feline form, lifted up Starfire's pillow in search of the Jerry-esque Beast Boy. Silkie happened to be lying down under the pillow. It shot its tongue out like a chameleon around Cyborg and ate him. Beast Boy pulled on Silkie's tail and Cyborg was shot out like a pinball.
At some point, Silkie ate Freaky whole. While the Titans were playing hide-in-seek, they hid from Cyborg by having Silkie eat them. Freaky Face ran into them and wanted Beast Boy's okra. Robin ordered Beast Boy not to feed him or he would want more. Freaky performed a booty scooty to seal the deal. Beast Boy gave him the okra and he gobbled it then demanded more. No one had any more vegetables to eat so Freaky went into a rage and chased the Titans throughout Silkie's body. They found and exit and tumbled out onto the couch where Cyborg tagged them "it." Sticky Joe dug in a drawer of the Titans Tower kitchen for something to open his can of beans. He found Silkie who quickly ate the can whole. Joe reached in and took the can back, dropped him in the drawer and closed it but Silkie stuck out and was squished. In a possible future, 100 years later, Raven had at least five Silkies after the original passed away. She kept their ashes in urns in the living room.
One of Control Freak's commercial was subjecting the Titans, as clothes, to Silkie Super Soft fabric made from Silkie's natural saliva. Starfire later forced Control Freak to drink some of it. He was grossed out. Silkie came along on Starfire's voyage into space. Freaky Face tried to eat Silkie but Starfire taught him that only licking was okay. Seven space days into the journey, Starfire's crew located the Celestial Sugar Crystal, the second rare item on her list. Silkie spit out a remote control and Starfire went over the mission to get the crystal. However, a teleporter incident led to Starfire, Folding Paper Man, Tooth Fairy, and Freak Face losing the top halves of their bodies. Starfire used Silkie as a temporary head while they thought of a way to rectify the situation. At some point, Freak ate Silkie. It wasn't until the journey to the lost city of Tamaran did Tooth Fairy noticed Silkie in his stomach while she searched for a wall cavity to use as an escape route.
