Beast Boy



Beast Boy is a main character in Teen Titans Go! He is voiced by Greg Cipes.

Bio
"Beast Boy is Cyborg's best bud-- a silghtly dim but lovable loafer who transforms into all sorts of animals when he's not eating burritos and watching TV. He's also a vegetarian, which is stated in the original series, and implied here due to his love of eating the tofu."

Garfield Logan is unlike any human. He has the ability to transform into nearly any animal he wants. This is because, as a kid, he contracted a rare disease called Sakutia that can often be fatal. In an attempt to save his life, his parents, whom are scientists, use an untested serum drug on him. While the drug cured him of the disease, it came at a cost: his skin and hair are now green, and he has the ability to transform into any animal that he desires, so long as he has seen a picture of he animal or seen it in person. This allows him to transfrom to anything like everyday dogs or extinct dinosaurs. A while during his heroic pursiuts, he had adopted the name "Changeling," but is now referred to as Beast Boy.

Beast Boy is a former member of the Doom Patrol, as well as the youngest. He left because the leader of the Doom Patrol and his adoptive father Mento was too serious and mean to him. However, he still wears his Doom Patrol suit in the Teen Titans.

Personality
Beast Boy is the playful trickster of the group. He enjoys pranking people, and can't seem to tell when he's gone too far, as in Ghost Boy. He also seems to be quite lazy, as shown in Dude Relax. He tricks other Titans into fighting, while he just goes home and drinks soda, until he is caught by Robin.

Beast Boy is very friendly, and will work hard to help out a friend. He got a job to buy Cyborg a videogame that he wanted in Pie Bros. He worked a number of jobs, including a chemist, Ed's lawyer, a doctor, and a worker at Mother Mae-Eye's pie shop to make ends meet.

Appearance
Beast Boy's appearence varies considering his shapeshifting, which basically consist of virtully any animal. His hair, unlike his original hair on Teen Titans, is not slicked back but is forward, with longer bangs than before. He has a black turtleneck with a purple belly, he is long-sleeved with gray gloves that have black on the back of the palms. His skin is green, and his mouth has a tooth from the bottom pointing upwards.

Cyborg
Beast Boy and Cyborg are described as being best friends in the series. They have many of the same interests, such as a love of pie and playing video games. Despite this, even Cyborg is shown to get annoyed at Beast Boy as seen in "Ghost Boy" where he's tired of his pranks and in "Double Trouble" when he wants to be by himself for awhile instead of playing games with Beast Boy.

Raven
Similar to the original series, Beast Boy and Raven have a somewhat love/hate relationship. Raven finds Beast Boy highly annoying and never laughs at his jokes. Beast Boy enjoys pranking her regardless, and the two do seem to still be friends. It has been suggested that he may be attracted to her, as he flirted with her briefly in "Hey Pizza", describing her "bathing suit" as "hot".

Robin
Beast Boy is shown to have a minor rivalry of sorts with Robin. In "Dude Relax" Beast Boy shows a competitive nature with him by saying that he's better at relaxing than Robin. According to him, it's pretty much the only thing he's better than Robin at, but he will still take that victory. In "Gorilla" he was the only Titan to refuse to listen to any of Robin's orders, and even usurped Robin's position as leader of the Titans. However, Robin regains his status by the end of the episode.

Starfire
Beast Boy is good friends with Starfire as revealed in Ghostboy when he said he can count on her. However, he also knows that she is quite naive and vulnerable to his pranks, unlike the other Titans. He takes advantage of this and tricked her into being his servant in the same episode.

Trivia

 * Beast Boy's first used form in this show is a pig, a rather appropriate form in terms of his personality.
 * He has a picture of Night Owl from the Watchmen on his wall as well as pictures of some other animal themed DC characters like Catwoman and Krypto the Superdog.
 * When he is sad, such as in Pie Bros (when he is looking at the Bubble Bots sales window) he hallucinates Cyborg's head in the window.
 * He is a vegetarian.
 * In the original Teen Titans, he was a complete vegan eating only tofu. He doesn't seem to stickto this trait however.
 * Teen Titans Go! is Beast Boy's 3rd appearance in a show. The other two are Young Justice: Invasion and the original Teen Titans.
 * Beast Boy doesn't seem to mind being naked, possibly because he is part animal.
 * In the original Teen Titans, he could not speak when he changed into an animal (the only exceptions being the times that he turned into a parrot and amoeba). Yet, in Teen Titans Go, he has repeatedly shown to be able to speak while in animal form, just like in the original comics.
 * He's the first Titan known to have worked a real job.
 * Despite Raven telling Beast Boy he's not funny, he manages to make her laugh along with Robin and Cyborg when he made milk armpits in "La Larva Amor".
 * Sometimes Beast Boy paints an animal green and puts it in his place so he won't have to do something he doesn't want to.
 * In "Double Trouble" it is revealed that Beast Boy doesn't wear socks, despite having them lying around his room.
 * In "Girl's Night Out" it is revealed that Beast Boy is skilled at playing the keyboard guitar.
 * His style of playing the key-tar is reminiscent of Jimi Hendrix
