Given that [[Recap/TeenTitansS3E4Crash a later episode indicates Beast Boy is able to turn into an amoeba]], it's possible he was able to shrink smaller than it could adapt.

* NotHimself: After Beast Boy's extended absence from the tower is noticed, the Titans find a green dog in the park who doesn't respond to them and acts mostly like a normal dog. They realize something is wrong and a ChaseScene ensues when the green dog runs off. [[spoiler:It's not Beast Boy.]]

* AbhorrentAdmirer: Soto's dog for Raven, in a way that seemed cute when it looked like he was just a dog but got pretty disturbing after his true intelligence was revealed.

* TheKlutz: Beast Boy accidentally blowtorches the T-car while playing with Cyborg's tools, and when he approaches Robin he pops up right in the path of Robin's flying jump kick.

* CluelessAesop: Soto, a giant baby who treats Beast Boy as a source of endless personal amusement, reflects Beast Boy's impulsive tendency to amuse himself while attempting to hang out with the others, but the opening sequence indicates that Beast Boy ''isn't'' just seeking amusement, he's legitimately lonely and even willing to help Cyborg and Robin while they do their own thing. The episode's failure to distinguish between being lonely and using others for your own amusement makes it look almost like it's also condemning attempts to be with other people when you're lonely, as if you should just be content with solitude.

Added DiffLines:

* CuteGiant: Soto's infantile proportions aren't just for show--he really is an enormous toddler.
* DiabolusExMachina: Beast Boy was mostly just minding his own business in the alleyway when an alien spaceship shows up and abducts him.
* DisneyDogFight: Soto battles with the Titans to keep his new "dog", Beast Boy, but it's not until Beast Boy himself joins the fight that Soto realizes Beast Boy definitively does *not* want to be his dog.


Added DiffLines:

* KarmicShunning: Beast Boy's attempt to hang out with Cyborg comes to an end when he impulsively tries to use tools he doesn't understand and damages the T-Car. His attempt to get Raven and Starfire to be his judges in setting a tofu-eating record is shut down instantly.


Added DiffLines:

* MonsterOfTheAesop: Beast Boy's desire for attention and amusement is reflected in Soto, a monster who pays him too much attention and demands his own amusement.

* RunningGag: During the ChaseScene, the alien dog pins Raven to the floor and licks her face no less than three times.

* ManChild: Soto is this, acting like an excited toddler. Even his spaceship looks like a baby's playroom.


Added DiffLines:

* VagueAge: It's unclear exactly how old Soto actually is. While he has the voice of a grown man and is smart enough to pilot a space ship, he has the emotional intelligence of a toddler, with his ship's controls even resembling various baby toys. So he's either an alien {{manchild}}, or a really deep voiced alien baby.
