Waldo is an old elephant who used to be Muffy's imaginary friend. He was around when Muffy was three, and was rediscovered when she was eight. Waldo is pink and quite small. He is missing his right eye where he just has an X-shaped stitch, and he is leaking stuffing.

In "The Friend Who Wasn't There" Muffy does not remember having an imaginary friend, but when Bailey mentions a creature named Oswald, Muffy goes into the basement where all her old toys are. She gets hit on the head and has a dream in which a pink elephant, who she does not recognize, helps her. They find a creature named Oswald, but he is an evil representation of Muffy's interest in toys, games and gadgets, which made her forget her imaginary friend. When Muffy wakes up, she sees an old drawing she made of an elephant labelled Waldo and realizes that the elephant was her imaginary friend. Bailey had misremembered the name. A flashback shows Muffy playing with Waldo while her parents see her talking to an empty chair.

Waldo is seen once again in "Muffy Misses Out." This time he is shown as a physical stuffed animal who Muffy talks to when she is feeling down. He does not move or talk, even when Muffy is alone with him.

While the flashback suggests that Waldo was completely imaginary, like Nadine, his outworn appearance suggests that he was a toy that came to life in Muffy's imagination, like Stanley and Rapty. Muffy may have found him in the basement after she remembered what he looked like.
