15* CryingCritters: In the episode "Fluffy Trembler", the titular Beastie wails with visible tears after losing their fluff. It happens again in "Giggling Gurgle" when Giggling Gurgle is easily upset. It wasn't long before "Sweepy Swish" and when Sweepy Swish bawls yet again with visible tears due to having untidy fur thanks to B.O.T. squirming out of his fur in multiple ways. "Happy-Sad Klomp" shows the titular beastie sobbing about the rain interrupting his dance.
16* EveryEpisodeEnding: "All data collected for *insert beastie*, Mission complete!"

19* MamaWolf: After being crushed into on her rear area, mother Huggy Roller starts to shout at B.O.T. and run after them. Some viewers may think she'll be protecting her young.
20* MeaningfulName: B.O.T. is a robot and what his name stands for indicates that he observes beasties and transmits the beasties data. The beasties also have names that describe themselves.
21* TitleThemeTune: One of the lyrics in the small theme song is "B.O.T. and the Beasties!"
