Well, I have not watched OOO, but in this case, the monster is not very bright. He is made from a combination of various trash items, is dim and clumsy, and always hungry. Eiji (Boukensilver) takes pity on him and doesn't destroy him because he is not a threat. Later, the monster becomes super intelligent by eating the Fruit of Knowledge (the MacGuffin for this episode). After becoming smart, he quickly disassociates with the Dark Shadow organization. Eiji sees this and they talk about using the monster's brain to help the world, so they go to the Boukengers.

There, the Boukengers want to take the Fruit of Knowledge (since it would be dangerous in the wrong hands). The monster takes this as an affront and leaves, calling humans foolish. He then considers that to save the Earth he must show humans the result of their foolishness, so he starts a storm of trash from the skies to bury the city, and destroys a power plant, saying that humans wastefully "light the dark and cool the summer." When Eiji tries to stop him, the monster detains him and gives him a magic seal as the "mark of their friendship."

The monster is then attacked by his former mates in Dark Shadow, and forced into becoming a rampaging giant. Eiji uses his meka to fight him without hurting him, but when he shows him the seal of their friendship, the spell triggers and destroys the monster -- he had given the seal to his friend Eiji in case he ever lost control. Eiji is suitably forlorn at having killed his friend.

The epilogue shows that the formerly smart monster is back to being simple-minded. The spell was designed to break Dark Shadow's control of him and make it look like he was destroyed. Eiji tells him to go live in the forest in peace.

Like I said, I thought it was very well done for a story that still managed to fit in a giant robot fight, albeit a short one.
