Depending on which facets you’re looking at, Tony could be a number of things.
He could be Danny’s imaginary friend, crafted because Danny’s isolated from school and isolated from no children around him at home.
He could be a psychic ability, a gift that allows him to know things beyond a human’s normal ability.
He could be an ego defense mechanism, crafted because Danny is in danger. Both parents harm Danny; Jack through his outright violence, jealousy, and aggression, and Wendy due to her inability to leave Jack.
