Bean is a young outdoors bitty folk and a monk, played by Griffin, who wears a banana-peel part as a robe TH E1·00:05:08 TH E1·00:05:31. He is a member of the heapers, a tribe of moochers living in the compost heap in the backyard of #4, whose world has been turned upside down and whose watermelon temple, where he trained, was destroyed TH E1·00:05:13 TH E1·00:06:11. While he crushes Ritz cracker crumbs into powder for his people, the young boy Dylan finds him, and Bean learns that this human can understand his voice TH E1·00:09:39 TH E1·00:11:47. He introduces himself as Bean and asks Dylan not to smash them TH E1·00:16:02.
Bean is a monk moocher of the heapers, trained at the watermelon temple, and Master Buttons calls him her "big special boy" TH E1·01:57:01 TH E1·01:04:15. He joins the job reluctantly, saying "I don't wanna hurt anybody." TH E1·01:43:08. At Shoeby's in TH_02 he attacks a spigot with his Q-tip and then spends ki on Flurry of Blows, and later Brennan says a true monk of the watermelon temple can feel the hearts of their allies as Bean reaches TI under the Darkness TH E2·00:37:13 TH E2·00:38:08 TH E2·01:37:16. In TH_03 he centres himself at the Heap, where Master Buttons appears, and he asks her about the names Raindrop and Snow Pea TH E3·01:21:42 TH E3·01:24:05.
In TH_04 Bean rides in a crate and says "I'm in the zone." TH E4·00:06:46 He takes the vault key from Boomer through an air hole in the crate, and casts Silence when he bursts out TH E4·01:35:10 TH E4·01:42:15. He and Boomer attack a guard named Bubs, and Brennan says the guard "hits the deck completely unconscious" TH E4·01:44:36. He ends the episode hanging by a thread on a pedestal, holding an incredibly heavy object TH E4·02:04:55.

He spots the peanut, scoops it, smashes through a window and lands on the getaway vehicle TH E5·01:14:50 TH E5·01:37:35 TH E5·01:39:24. Brennan says the server's information showed that Felix cut off the food to the TIk-Teks and mulched the compost heap TH E5·01:10:49.
In TH_06 Bean says Felix has some sort of control over the big bearded man who scooped his home up TH E6·00:17:04 and that the plan has turned into "a murder pact, which we maybe didn't all sign on for" TH E6·00:20:11. He throws his banana-peel robe in front of a pursuing vehicle, catches Tony Manchego's bead with Deflect Missiles and throws it back so that the cricket driver is unconscious behind the wheel, and kicks Tony out of the vehicle TH E6·00:39:35 TH E6·01:04:59 TH E6·01:11:00.

He calls Marty "Tap" and lifts him out of the seat TH E6·01:47:19 TH E6·01:49:19. In the epilogue he eats Cheetos with Master Buttons on the window sill of Max's room while the heapers move into the house TH E6·01:52:38 TH E6·01:53:37.
