Watching that ep again, it\'s clear he\'s just guessing.

It was obvious from that episode that Jake was just guessing. Pendleton Ward even stated that Jake doesn\'t know where his powers came from.


* {{Retcon}}: Originally, Jake's powers were said to have come from a magic mud puddle that he rolled into as a puppy (as Jake explains all the way back in Season 1's "The Witch's Garden"). Here, we learn they actually come from him being a half-dog, half-shape-shifting alien hybrid.
** It could still be that the "mud puddle" was the puddle of goo that Jake was standing in after hatching.
