* KnowNothingKnowItAll: Carried over from the film. Despite being the "brains of the outfit", Timon's arrogance leads him to speak with confidence on subjects he knows nothing about. "Klondike Con" has by far the best example, when Pumbaa asks him why they didn't bring any picks or shovels for their gold mining plan:
-->'''Timon:'' Pumbaa, let me explain gold mining. You simply pick up the gold and say "This is mine"! [[InsaneTrollLogic Hence, the term "gold mining"!]]

* {{Foil}}: He is the direct opposite of Timon and Pumbaa: whereas Timon and Pumbaa value relaxation and carefreeness, Boss Beaver values hard work and safety. He even has his own philosophies like Timon and Pumbaa do, being Makuta Hamaka (work really hard), safety first, and you break it, you buy it.

* JerkassHasAPoint: As rude and unfeeling as he can be sometimes, Timon often raises very good points. In "Never Everglades", for instance, he's mostly antagonistic towards Pumbaa Jr., but rightfully points out to Pumbaa that, as much as they do care about him, they don't have any idea how to raise him and he'd be better off with others of his own kind.

In one episode, he even chased away ''dinosaurs''. "Timon Alone" sees him drive off an entire horde of hungry predators from across the food chain.



* NiceGuy: He's still as warm and big-hearted as ever. This means he has no trouble making friends with anything between a tigress ("Doubt of Africa"), a stinkbug ("Rocky Mountain Lie") and a coconut crab ("Back Out in the Outback").
* ObliviousGuiltSlinging: Pumbaa has a tendency of doing this to Timon - all he has to do is cheerfully and innocently insinuate that Timon would never do anything dishonest, usually when the meerkat is doing exactly that very thing. “Yukon Con”, “Okay Bayou?” and “Tanzania Zany” are the best examples of this in action.

* {{Hypocrite}}: For someone with an uptight, disciplinary attitude, Boss Beaver is clearly irresponsible as a parent and neglects his son to the point that the latter is a trouble maker behind his back.
* JerkassToOne: Or two in this case. Boss Beaver clearly has it out for Timon and Pumbaa to make their lives living hell.



* LaserGuidedKarma: At the end of "Amusement Bark" Boss Beaver has to give up his entire amusement park to Timon and Pumbaa and he and his son Boy Beaver are forced to work Hot Log on A Stick as an alternative to paying a HUGE monetary compensation for their injuries the latter caused. Considering the horrible treatment the Beavers put them through, the punishment is well justified.

* LaserGuidedKarma: At the end of "Amusement Bark" Boss Beaver has to give up sign over his entire amusement park to Timon and Pumbaa for free and he and his son Boy Beaver are forced to work Hot Log on A Stick as an alternative to paying a HUGE monetary compensation for their injuries the latter caused. Considering the horrible treatment the Beavers put them through, not to mention Boss Beaver’s irresponsible parenting leading to all this, the punishment is well justified.


Added DiffLines:

* ParentalNeglect: His son Boy Beaver mentions he never spends time with him. However, Boss Beaver is ''criminally negligent'' of his own son, that Boy’s bad behavior flies over his head until it’s too late. All the malicious acts his son causes, damaging the rides and machines leading to Timon and Pumbaa getting injured, and subsequently losing the park to avoid a lawsuit, could have been avoided had Boss Beaver been more attentive to his son.
