Story Editor/Producer David Slack on Silkie: "One would think we developed that story way far back. What happened was, we did DATE WITH DESTINY in season two and designed these larvae things at the end of it. And Ben Jones - who is now a director but he was a storyboard artist at the time - he just wouldn't let them go. So in all his boards, he would put this thing in the background - and he named him "Silkie." So that caught on and some other artists started doing it. So we had all these episodes where Sillkie is crawling around in the background, still leftover from season two. So it started to seem like we needed to do something with that. It was similar to the situation with Larry [the Titan]. It grew out of a joke that the artists were tossing around. So that's how that came about." - Titans Tower (creator commentary for Silkie)


Silkie was seen in three segments of blink-and-you'll-miss-him moments. Beast Boy's secret pet could be seen briefly in: X, BETROTHED and HAUNTED. Silkie returned in full in CAN I KEEP HIM? - that too~

Wow. anyone else knew that already? Well, where is he, in those three episodes that all came before "Can We Keep Him?"

Off the top of my head:

X - when the Titans are coming to conclusions on who Red X is in the Titans Tower, a briefcase flips over and Silkie's on it.

Betrothed - I think you can briefly see him at the very beginning, but it's vague.

Haunted - Sleeping in the Titans Tower at the beginning when the lights in it are out.

I think he's also in:

Episode 257-494
Quest
Prophecy
Stranded
Mother Mae-Eye
The End Part I
The End Part III

Yeah, but they're talking about Silkie appearances before he was officially introduced in 'Can We Keep Him'.

But, thats pretty cool, I never noticed him, time to grab the dvds :D

I remember seeing him and going "Beast Boy actually did keep one of those things...."

Just to give credit where it's due, Ciro Nieli named Silkie.
