Avatars, sometimes known as Scribblenauts, are characters that the player is able to play as in place of Maxwell.
In Scribblenauts and Super Scribblenauts, Avatars can be purchased from the Ollar Store. When you use other avatars, their voices, movements, etc. will change. In Scribblenauts they only appear in Challenge Mode, while Super Scribblenauts allows them to be used anywhere.
In Scribblenauts Remix, avatars are purchasable in the game's shop, costing real money instead of Ollars.
Avatars were changed in Scribblenauts Unlimited, where instead of generic characters the player can instead switch between members of Maxwell's Family. They can now be unlocked by finding them throughout the game and aiding them. Some versions of Unlimited also feature an Avatar Editor for players to make their own avatars, or allow the player to purchase exclusive avatars using real money.
Avatars were notably absent from Scribblenauts Unmasked, aside from the presence of an Avatar Editor which still allowed players to make custom avatars similar to Unlimited.
In Scribblenauts Showdown, player characters were officially renamed to Scribblenauts, and were largely overhauled. They now feature numerous characters made from several sprite parts, and the player can construct their own by selecting the specified parts in the game's My Scribblenaut editor. In addition to variable character appearances, the Vehicles seen in certain minigames would change based on the player's chosen Scribblenaut as well.
Scribblenauts[]
10 avatars are available in Scribblenauts, not including Maxwell himself. Avatars can be purchased in the Ollar Store and it is the second category. Here is a list of avatars and price.
| Sprite | Avatar name | Price |
| Alien | Ø 1000 | |
| Witch | Ø 1000 | |
| Zombie | Ø 1000 | |
| DJ | Ø 2500 | |
| Pirate | Ø 2500 | |

| Ninja | Ø 5000 | |
| Robot | Ø 5000 | |
| Shaman | Ø 5000 | |
| Scribblenaut | ----- | |
| Maxwell | ---- |
When you have purchased the avatars, you can check on Options, and click Avatars (which features a zombie and an alien).
The Scribblenaut avatar cannot be purchased like the other avatars, and can only be obtained by completing Advanced Mode in every level. When this is done, it will be available from the Avatars selection screen as if the player had purchased it.
Super Scribblenauts[]
Super Scribblenauts includes a lot more avatars compared to the first game, resulting in 50 total avatars. Maxwell is unlocked by default, and the remaining 49 can be purchased using Ollars in the Avatar menu, found to the right of the player's name.

Scribblenauts Remix[]
Scribblenauts Remix primarily uses the avatars from Super Scribblenauts, with some changes. While a few avatars are free, most need to be purchased from packs in the game's shop that contain nine avatars each, or from the Avatar Super Bundle that contains all of them. Unlike previous games that use Ollars, Remix requires real money to purchase avatars.

Scribblenauts Unlimited[]
The avatar menu in Scribblenauts Unlimited.
In Unlimited, Maxwell's family take the place of the previous game's purchasable avatars. Members can be unlocked by finding them in the world and assisting them with their issues. The player can also unlock Lily as an avatar once a total of 60 starites have been obtained and the ending cutscene has played. To do this, you don't have to actually get all of the Starites from the levels. You can get some of them and get enough Starite Shards to create Starites. Maxwell's parents can also be unlocked by obtaining every possible Starite in the game, including the ones obtained from Object Shards.
The Wii U, PC, and Mega Pack releases of Unlimited also allow the player to make a Custom Avatars using the Object Editor. This can be done by clicking the "New" button in the avatar menu to start an avatar with Maxwell as a base, or by picking an avatar and selecting "Edit" to modify custom avatars or to use one of the other Family Members as a base.
The mobile version has a couple extra color variations of Maxwell available from the start, which are called "Maxwell Clones". These clones function just like all other unlocked avatars in the game. The mobile version also allows the player to use real world money to purchase packs of five exclusive avatars from the shop. None of the these avatars are available in other versions of the game.

Scribblenauts Unmasked[]
The menu used to choose and edit your avatar.
Scribblenauts Unmasked doesn't have pre-made avatars for the player to choose. Instead, the PC, Wii U, and Mega Pack releases allow the player to create their own avatars using the Hero Creator, which functions similarly to Unlimited's Object Editor and Avatar Creator. The change avatar option was also moved from the action buttons to the pause menu.
One change that was added to custom avatars in Unmasked however, is the ability to assign them superpowers. This is noteworthy as Maxwell cannot gain any powers without the use of unlockable costumes, and even with them only gets one or two based on the costume. Custom Avatars, on the other hand, are able to have dozens of powers available at once regardless of what equipment they have, and are able to use Maxwell's costumes as well. These traits allow Custom Avatars to be much more powerful than Maxwell in practice, and they can be a massive boon for players to utilize.
Scribblenauts Showdown[]
In Scribblenauts Showdown, there are a total of 64 different Scribblenauts, (now renamed from "avatar"). Maxwell and Lily return from previous games, while the other 62 of Scribblenauts are new to Showdown. Four Scribblenauts are unlocked from the beginning, being Maxwell, Lily, Justice, and Carmen. The remaining ones can be unlocked by earning awards in game, functioning like an achievement system. Additionally, certain minigames make use of special vehicles who's appearance varies based on the user's chosen avatar.
Custom Scribblenauts can also be made using the "My Scribblenaut" feature. These are made by selecting parts from a pre-determined list of existing NPCs and clothing items, with more parts becoming available alongside the standard Scribblenauts by spending Starites. Players can also choose which vehicles they'd like their custom Scribblenauts to use.

Trivia[]
- The Scribblenaut avatar is the only one with special unlock requirements in the original Scribblenauts.
- In Scribblenauts Unlimited, if you're at the avatar menu, and on a page with a custom avatar with something behind one of it's parts, upon clicking on the check button or cancelling, the avatar's bottom parts may show. (Wii U version/PC version ONLY.)
- The only standard avatar in Unlimited that requires you to clear multiple missions is Edwin. This is because he's unlocked by completing the tutorial, which contains two Starite Shards and one full Starite.
- The only avatars in Unlimited to be unlocked simultaneously are Mix and Mox, as well as Edgar and Julie.
- Scribblenauts Mega Pack introduced a blue-hatted Maxwell used by Player 2. They are forced to use this avatar regardless of what avatar Player 1 is using, and cannot change it.
- This "Player 2 Maxwell" avatar has the bizarre ability to inherit certain design traits from Player 1. More info on this can be found on their Main Page.
- One of the default avatars in the mobile release of Unlimited is a Maxwell Clone that shares it's appearance with the @scribblenaut, an object that previously could only be seen with the "@ Method" glitch.
- In the mobile port of Scribblenauts Unlimited, Maxwell and Lily have updated designs inspired by Scribblenauts Unmasked.
- Despite this, the "Maxwell Clone" avatars from the mobile port are all based on his original Unlimited design instead.
- The Blue, Green, and Yellow clones can also be replicated exactly in other versions of Unlimited by simply recoloring Maxwell's hat in the avatar creator.
- In Unlimited's mobile port, Lily's school uniform and mummy outfits both misspell her name as "Lilly". None of her other purchasable variations misspell her name.
