Silkie

"Mama's little bumgorf, no!"

- Starfire

Silkie (Ariel) is a main character in Teen Titans Go!. He is mainly Starfire's pet, but seems to have relationships with all of the Titans.

Bio
Silkie was created as Larva M3-19 by Killer Moth for use in an army of giant mutant moths to overthrow and dominate Jump City. However, Killer Moth had to set back certain parts of his plan when his spoiled daughter Kitten, angry about her recent abandonment by her boyfriend "Fang", decided to blackmail Robin into becoming her date for her Junior Prom. The plan failed spectacularly, and upon the destruction of the moth control device by Robin, all the mutant moths reverted from adult into larva state. Beast Boy secretly took Silkie home to the tower and gave it to Starfire when she found it out.

Biography
Silkie has also appeared in most episodes of Teen Titans Go!. As seen in the episode "La Larva de Amor," Starfire loves Silkie so much that she attacks her friends when they fail to keep track of him. Also in the same episode, Silkie develops a, extremly onesided, relationship with a Mexican woman known as Sonia Conchita Hernández, and saves her from Carlos. It is shown in the episode, "Driver's Ed," the berries that Starfire has are bad for him. They make his face swollen and puffy.

Appearance
Silkie is a small pink mutant moth larva with light green eyes. He has six nub-like legs, and two antennae. He also seems to have a spot-like design on his body. Inside his mouth he has pointed yellow teeth resembling of a dogs'.
