Imaginary friends:

In General
- The Ageless: As seen with Uncle Pockets and Mr. Herriman, imaginary friends don't age no matter how much time passes. Although, this seems to be played with, as we do have "baby" imaginary friends and one episode had one of them moving out of the nursery as a plot point.
- Shadow Archetype: A more innocent example than most, but this is implied to be the case with all imaginary friends, to an extent: for example, Eduardo was imagined by Nina Valerosa to serve as her protector and playmate, but ended up unconsciously reflecting and amplifying her timid nature, becoming the scaredy-baby we all know and love. This led Nina to learn to stand up for him, and eventually herself.
- Tulpa: Once imagined by children or teenagers, the beings come to true life and self-awareness.
Specific types:
Extremeasaurs
Vicious and destructive imaginary friends created by mean teenage boys. They aren't so much imaginary friends and more like monsters.
- Always Chaotic Evil: They're always violent, destructive monsters that have to be penned up in a massive cage at Foster's. Red is the one exception, as being a Dumb Muscle helped Mac and Bloo befriend him.
- No, You: Some are more immature than others.Wilt: Sorry, but, teenage boys come up with the grossest imaginary friends. I mean, they're seriously disgusting!Urinal Extremeasaur: I know you are, but what am I?Wilt: (sarcastically) And real mature.
- Sealed Evil in a Can: Because of their destructive nature, the Extremeasaurs at Foster's have to be locked in a large cage.
- Shout-Out: The champion from "Eddie Monster" resembles Pikachu from Pokémon.
Scribbles
Voiced by: Candi Milo
The first imaginary friends created by infants, which are nothing more than a jumbled mass of jiggling black lines (due to the lack of comprehension a toddler might have to envision an actual friend), hence the name.
- Always Chaotic Evil: Subverted to all heck and back. The home treats all scribbles as nothing but nuisances that only exist because infant children couldn't actually make anything consistent, and forcibly made them a Sealed Evil in a Can like the Extremeasaurs. Turns out they're mindless but capable of helping with chores if properly instructed, no one just bothered to actually learn this since they considered all scribbles useless. Then the shoe ends up on the other foot when everyone relies on them for chores so much that they border on Servant Race.
- Crippling Overspecialization: The scribbles can only do one thing at a time. Give them a list of chores and they will overload and scream until they are calmed down. Even single chores are tricky—for best results, you have to assign each step to an individual scribble. (Bloo demonstrates this with dishes, assigning "you wash, you dry, you put away" to three different scribbles.)
- Sealed Evil in a Can: Okay, they're not evil, but they're treated as pests at Foster's, so the residents normally kept them in a locked door until Bloo let them out and Mac found out they can do all sorts of things.
