Silkie is a fictional character from the animated series Teen Titans. It does not have counterparts in the comic book version.

Silkie was at first one of the many mutant larvae created by Killer Moth who planned to take over the city with them once they had matured into their adult moth states. When the Teen Titans put an end to his schemes, Beast Boy bonded with one of the mutant larvae. Unknown to his friends, Beast Boy kept it as a pet at Titans Tower, naming it Silkie. Beast Boy hid this secret for a very long time until one day after battling Johnny Rancid when the Titans returned home to find most of their furniture eaten. Beast Boy knew who was behind it but didn't tell anyone except for Starfire who decided to keep his secret, bonding to the little guy when Beast Boy asked her to look after him for a while. Not knowing what he ate, Starfire fed him some alien food from Tamaran, but Silkie reacted strangely to the substance and had a monstrous growth spurt. Unable to conceal his enormous prescense, Starfire had no choice but to admit that she was caring for the not-so-little creature. Robin told Starfire to get rid of Silkie before he ate the entire tower. Heartbroken, Starfire left Silkie on a remote island off the shore, inscribing the message "Please be kind to monster : )" into a rock for any future visitors. But as she prepared to go, Silkie grabbed on to her leg and refused to let go. Trying to hold back her tears, Star was forced to apply a small zap to Silkie's arm, releasing her from his grip as he backed away, hurt and confused at his "mommy's" harsh actions. Star would not be separated from her "bumgorf" for long, as Silkie's "father," Killer Moth, found him and transformed him into a monster. The monstered Silkie battled the Titans but became deeply confused about where his loyalties lay, recalling the pains each "parent" had brought him. Suddenly, and without warning, Silkie exploded in a blinding flash, leaving nothing but gobs of pink goo in his wake. Emotionally crushed, Star walked steadily to the remains of her dear friend, only to hear a peculiar noise. Sifting through the pink residue, she discovered her little Silkie, alive, belated, and back to his original form. He hadn't exploded: he had merely molted. Forgiving Star and presenting her with a big hug, the two discovered that the pink residue was actually an edible compound made primarily of Starfire's alien food. They partook in a snack, overjoyed to be together again.
