* AmbiguouslyEvil: Sprockett and Hubbs, the robots. They're first introduced as working for the villains helping to build a machine that [[BadPeopleAbuseAnimals turns animals into evil minion creatures called Glumps]], and Sprockett helps to build a machine that [[LostVoicePlot steals a child's voice]]. However, after the two are fired, they help some of the good guys repair their spaceship. Their biographies suggest that they're just too stupid and fickle to decide who to work for.

** Fifi and [=McNulty=]. In the song "Uptown Fifi", they go for a walk, and Fifi is shown with hearts coming from her head, and she's described as "hot to trot", but the official description of the song describes them as "friends". They're also only puppies, meaning that if they were dating, it'd be a literal example of PuppyLove.
** In the movie, Katsuma sees a female Katsuma and tries to impress her with his dancing skills, but it never goes beyond that. In one of the magazines, when asked if they're dating, he says no, but leaves it ambiguous as to whether he doesn't feel that way about her, or if dating her would just be too difficult due to how far away she is.

One could adopt one of six types of monsters to take care of and use as an avatar, get involved in creation and the story line, play minigames and the website functioned as a first step to the internet for children in a controlled safe space to interact with others.
While free to play, it had paid "membership" which grants users more features, often vital, such as access to the Super Moshi Missions (the storyline) and the Moshling Zoo, which displays your Moshling collection.

Monsters are taken care of by simply keeping busy in the game. Loggin in, buying items or food, decorating your room with the items interacting with your monster (feeding, tickling or clicking for dialog) and playing certain minigames is enough to keep them happy and healthy. Neglect them and they will let you know their displeasure with you. It does not further affect the game other than that a low happiness/health bar will make your monster unable to level up. Leveling up makes you able to buy level-locked items and it is more likely to achieve [=MonStar=] status in which other players rate your room. This could lead you appearing on the Daily Growl (the Moshi Monsters news blog) or the Moshi Monsters Magazine.

Moshi Monsters became exceptionally successful with the introduction of Moshlings; smaller Monsters that tend to be under the care and protection of Monsters. They have a high collectibility value and completing your collection would require an immense amount of engagement. Most are obtainable by planting certain combinations of flowers in your garden or playing the storyline Missions. For others you were required to buy certain merchandise, complete a task and send in proof of it or attend real life events.

In the storyline Super Moshi Missions, your monster is one of the recruits and becomes a Super Moshi; Monsters who keep Moshi World save from harm. The antagonists (more often than not) are a group of villains named C.L.O.N.C., the Criminal League Of Naughty Critters, of which founding member Dr. Strangeglove provided them with the Glumping process; a method of turning Moshlings into minions called Glumps.
During the course of their activity, C.L.O.N.C. has never been clear why they do what they do, aside Dr. Strangeglove himself, who has been thrown out of the league at least once.

On November 13th, 2019, it was announced that ''Moshi Monsters'' would be shutting down the following month, for reasons unknown but possibly due to the imminent discontinuation of ''UsefulNotes/AdobeFlash'', in 2020. It shut down on December 13th, 2019.
