Rugrats includes a large array of characters: family, friends, extended relatives, townspeople, and fictional characters. This is a list of characters from the Nickelodeon animated television series (original), its various movies, and the 2021 reboot.

Main

  • Thomas Malcolm "Tommy" Pickles (voiced by E. G. Daily; Tami Holbrook in the unaired pilot) is the older son of Stu and Didi Pickles (who is of Jewish faith) and serves as the series' protagonist. He is presented as a child, who lives with his parents and younger brother, Dil. Many episodes take place in the Pickles' family home and are centred around him and his family. In the series' premiere episode, "Tommy's First Birthday", he is a year old and seems to remain that age throughout the entirety of the show (despite hitting developmental milestones). Tommy is the youngest of the babies until the birth of his brother, Dylan, in The Rugrats Movie (1998). Tommy is white, bald, and toothless (with the exception of "Weaning Tommy") and is most-commonly seen wearing a light blue t-shirt that shows his stomach and diaper with no shoes. As an infant, Tommy is often seen crawling and is able to walk somewhat unsteadily and pigeon toed. He uses his diaper as a pocket, storing his screwdriver, among other things he finds. Tommy is a brave child, with a strong sense of justice, always eager for an adventure and not afraid to stand up for what is right. His best friends are Chuckie and his dog Spike. In the episode, "Mother's Day", it is indicated that Tommy was born premature and spent the first week or two of his life in an incubator, which explains why he is so brave and doesn't take life for granted.
  • Charles Crandall Norbert "Chuckie" Finster, Jr. (voiced by Christine Cavanaugh from 1991-2002, Nancy Cartwright from 2002-present) is the son of Charles "Chas" Finster, a widower and bureaucrat, and his late spouse, Melinda Finster, and is Tommy's best friend. Unlike Tommy, Chuckie is clumsy and timid; he rarely expresses any desire to go on one of the babies' adventures, instead listing all the reasons they should not go on one. Whenver Tommy and Dil's cousin Angelica tries to bully them, Chuckie unquestionably accepts her treatment and gives into any possible demands. Chuckie is 2 years old, making him the eldest of the babies, therefore he is the first of them to be toilet trained. He is Caucasian with curly red hair, purple-framed glasses, buckteeth, and freckles and wears a red and blue shirt with a picture of Saturn on it. In addition, he wears lime green and yellow shorts, yellow socks, and red sneakers with untied laces. In Rugrats in Paris: The Movie, Chuckie adds a Japanese stepmother, Kira Watanabe—who later adopts him—and a stepsister, Kimi. He also says his first word to the grown-ups when he stops Coco LaBouche from marrying his father. His character design was loosely based on Mark Mothersbaugh, the lead composer for the series.[1]
  • Angelica Charlotte Pickles (voiced by Cheryl Chase) is the daughter of Drew and Charlotte Pickles, Stu and Didi's niece, and Tommy And Dil's cousin. Angelica serves as the series' villainess, regularly threatening the babies physically or verbally and lying to them for her own amusement. In her own home, Angelica remains as an only child, who lives with her workaholic mom and busy working father showering her with toys and admiration. Without any parental guidance or boundaries, Angelica has largely been left to determine for herself what is right and wrong, with her idea of "right" normally being what she wants. She is materialistic, devious, and self-centred. Though she torments the babies, Angelica stands up for them against others and expresses a genuine desire to be friends with them. Angelica is Caucasian with blonde hair, with pigtails styled with purple bows, and wears a purple dress with a red long-sleeved shirt, blue tights, red socks, and purple sneakers.
  • Phillip Richard "Phil" DeVille and Lillian Marie "Lil" DeVille (both voiced by Kath Soucie) are the children of Howard and Betty DeVille. They live next door to Tommy and are fraternal twins, with Lil older than Phil by two minutes. Often named as "Lil and Phil", they share many similarities, including the same hairstyle and a love for dirt, eating bugs, and playing with earthworms. They argue with one another frequently, in which they call each other by their full name. The two are Caucasian with brown hair and wear matching outfits of teal jumpers with yellow ducks on them, and pink striped undershirts. Phil's outfit has blue shorts, while Lil has a dress and teal sneakers. Looking so much alike, they are often mistaken for one another by adults; the only notable facial difference between the two is that Phil's earlobes are attached while Lil's are not.
  • Susanna Yvonne "Susie" Carmichael (voiced by Cree Summer, understudied by E. G. Daily in "The Last Babysitter" and "Angelica's Birthday") is the younger daughter of Randy and Dr. Lucy Carmichael, and Tommy's neighbor. Her family purchases a home on Tommy's street in "Meet the Carmichaels" and their mothers become close friends. Susie gets along well with the babies, despite the age difference, and considers them to be her friends. She does not often get along with Angelica, though she makes a conscious effort to be nice to her. Like her mother, Susie excels in many aspects of her life and has a kind and warm attitude, her only real character flaw being her competitiveness. She is African-American with black afro-textured hair, which is styled into three braids and decorated with red hairclips and ties, and wears a yellow and purple dress with purple leggings, white lace socks and red slippers.
  • Kimiko "Kimi" Watanabe-Finster (voiced by Dionne Quan from 2000-2008, Charlet Chung from 2021-present) is the child of Hiro Watanabe and Kira Watanabe, and is Chuckie's stepsister. Her mother marries Chuckie's father Chas in Rugrats in Paris: The Movie and he later adopts her, assuming the role of her father. Kimi's boldness enables her to interact easily with the other babies, especially Tommy. She is protective of her older brother, while at the same time encourages him to stand up for himself. She is Japanese and has black hair styled into three ponytails, and held together by red hairties, with bangs. She wears a yellow dress with a purple cat on it, a pink t-shirt, and purple cowgirl boots.
  • Dylan Prescott "Dil" Pickles (voiced by Tara Strong, credited as "Charendoff" in the film version) is the younger son of Stu and Didi Pickles, and Tommy's younger brother. He is a newborn for much of the series, meaning he rarely partakes in adventures along with the other babies, and is often seen drooling, crying, or babbling. Because of his young age, most of the time Dil cannot understand the babies and the babies cannot understand him.
  • Spike (voiced by Frank Welker, Michael Bell in a dream sequence in the episode "In the Dreamtime", Bruce Willis in Rugrats Go Wild) is the Pickles' family dog. Though he appears in almost every episode of the series, he is not usually featured as a main part of episodes. Tommy claims him to be his best "animal" friend. The character is considered a main character in the series, appearing in almost three-quarters of all of the episodes, though he usually does not come along when the Rugrats venture to new locations. It is mentioned in "Spike Runs Away" that his breed is the fictional "Siberian Tiger Hound". As shown in The Rugrats Movie and Rugrats Go Wild, Spike is very protective of the babies, as he sees them part of his family.

Adults

  • Stuart Louis "Stu" Pickles (voiced by Jack Riley as an adult in 1991-2008, E. G. Daily as a baby in "Sour Pickles", Tress MacNeille as a baby in "Fountain of Youth", Tommy Dewey in 2021–present) is Tommy and Dil's easygoing father and brother of Drew. He is an absent-minded toy inventor who only wants to be a good provider for his family. He is married to Didi Pickles. It is implied in the All Growed Up special that Stu's birthday is on or around October 23, as his birthday falls on the cusp of Libra and Scorpio. In each Rugrats film, either Stu's actions or inventions help sets the story in motion and by the story's end, he somehow manages to save the day (particularly, in the first and third films). He is Chas' best friend since childhood.

Called "Pop" by Stu, Drew, and Didi. Grandpa Lou lived with Stu's family for the majority of the series and often babysat the children until he occasionally dozed off. Originally named Stu Pickles, and Sr. in the unaired pilot "Tommy Pickles and The Great White Thing". Lou would often bring up stories of his youth, and even brings up historical moments involving his late brother Sparky. In the revival series, Grandpa Lou is depicted as a hippie where he is shown with a ponytail, wearing tie-dye shirts, and often doing yoga. Grandpa Lou also had a weird obsession with the number 15.
  • Andrew "Drew" Pickles (voiced by Michael Bell as an adult in 1991-2008, Pamela Adlon as a baby, Timothy Simons in 2021–present) married to Charlotte, and is Angelica's busy working father and Stu's older brother. A well-paid investment banker (later accountant, then pharmaceutical representative in the revival),[3] Drew does not always get along with his brother, and the two often bicker over petty problems. His catchphrase (when addressing Angelica) is "Princess" and is not afraid to put his foot down whenever Angelica gets into trouble; he's usually the one to punish her like taking away her dessert for a week or other disciplinary actions.
  • Charlotte Pickles (voiced by Tress MacNeille in 1991-2008; Anna Chlumsky in 2021-present) is Angelica's workaholic mother, the CEO of her own company, and married to Drew. She tries to be a good mother, but is usually sidetracked by business interests. She is often shown talking on her mobile phone to "Jonathan" (her co-worker), who was shown several times during early episodes of the series. She is also seen to punish her "princess" Angelica if she catches her causing trouble in episodes when Drew isn't present. In the revival series, Charlotte is a city councilwoman.[3]
  • Elizabeth "Betty" DeVille (voiced by Kath Soucie in 1991-2008; Natalie Morales in 2021-present) is Phil and Lil's mother, a former wrestler and Didi's best friend. Very athletic and feminist. Married to Howard, she helps operate the Java Lava Coffee House with Chas Finster. She is portrayed as a lesbian single mother in the revival series.[5] Betty also owns a coffee house in the revival series, but now as sole proprietor of the renamed Betty's Beans.[5] Morales stated "Anyone who watched the original show may have had an inkling Betty was a member of the LGBT Community".[6]
  • Howard "Howie" DeVille (voiced by Phil Proctor) is Phil and Lil's mild-mannered father who is unemployed. Howie is often overpowered by, and cringing towards his wife, Betty. He has yet to appear in the revival series.
  • Charles Norbert "Chas" Finster, Sr. (voiced by Michael Bell in 1991-2008; Tony Hale in 2021-present) is Chuckie's father, from whom he inherited his adenoidal whine. He is a bureaucrat and married Kira in the second Rugrats movie where he became Kimi's stepfather. Chas runs the Java Lava Coffee House with his wife, and Betty in later episodes. Stu is Chas' best friend since childhood. Chas played a minor role in the first Rugrats film and a supporting role in the third. He is a musician in the revival series.[3]
  • Kira Watanabe-Finster (voiced by Julia Kato in 2000-2008; Hiromi Dames in 2022-present) is Kimi's Japanese mother and Chuckie's legal mother. Kira married Chas in Rugrats in Paris: The Movie. On All Grown Up!, she operates the Java Lava Coffee House with her husband and Betty. She somewhat plays the straight woman to the rest of the adults' wackiness, but she enjoys showcasing and trying new things, as opposed to everyone else.
  • Dr. Lucille "Lucy" Carmichael (voiced by Cheryl Carter in 1991-1999; understudied by Lisa Dinkins in "Dummi Bear Dinner Disaster"; Hattie Winston in 1999-2008, and The Rugrats Movie; Nicole Byer in 2021–present) is Susie's mother and Randy's wife.

  • Melville is Chuckie's first pet, a pillbug that died in Chuckie's first episode. At that point, Chuckie was training Melville to perform circus tricks.

Television

  • Cynthia is Angelica Pickles' favorite doll. Based on the American doll, Barbie.
  • Reptar (voiced by Busta Rhymes in The Rugrats Movie; Fred Tatasciore in 2021–present) is a big green dinosaur reminiscent of Godzilla. Tommy and the other Rugrats love him. Reptar products such as cars, clothes and candy are frequently seen on the show. Reptar was a main character in Rugrats in Paris and had his own theme park called Euro Reptarland. There was a giant Reptar robot in Euro Reptarland which the babies piloted and fought against Jean Claude. Reptar has had his own ice show, which Lou believes is "sheer brilliance". The babies interrupted it looking for a lizard which they believed was "Baby Reptar".
  • Robosnail is Reptar's archenemy. Robosnail is a mechanical snail with snapping pincers. He made a special guest appearance in Rugrats in Paris, controlled by Jean Claude. Robosnail and Reptar fought throughout Paris, and Robosnail wound up falling into the Seine.
  • Dactar is a big Pterodactyl who fights Reptar on TV. He resembles Rodan from Godzilla, which is ironic since they are generally depicted as allies, despite them fighting in Ghidrah, the Three-Headed Monster and Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla II.
  • Thorg (voiced by Phil Proctor) is a giant gorilla and Reptar's enemy. In the episode "Toy Palace", Tommy and Chuckie activate a large robotic Thorg, who chases them through the store, repeating his catchphrase "Thorg hungry! Thorg want eat!" He is made to resemble King Kong. He'd been sent back in time.
  • Captain Blasto (voiced by Adam West) from is early seasons, is a spaceman who hosts his namesake show, a low-budget local children's program reminiscent of the Captain Video series of the 1950s. In "Super Hero Chuckie", Chuckie, Angelica, Stu and Drew watch the show's production.
  • The Dummi Bears are a cartoon watched by the babies, although it seldom interests them and Grandpa Lou, in particular, despises the program. The name is a play on Disney's Gummi Bears, while the show spoofs the Care Bears. Susie's father Randy Carmichael was a writer for the show, and in one episode, the babies are taken to a movie theater to see the Dummi Bears movie.
  • Blocky and Oxwinkle (Blocky voiced by June Foray) are Stu and Drew's favorite cartoon characters as babies, a parody of Rocky and Bullwinkle. Blocky talks more than Oxwinkle.
  • Yuri and Svetana (Svetana voiced by June Foray) are a pair of villains who try to trick and get rid of Blocky and Oxwinkle, and calling them "Elk and Weasle". They are a parody of Boris and Natasha, and their nicknames for Blocky and Oxwinkle is a parody of "Moose and Squirrel". In an example of stunt casting, Foray, the original voice of Rocky as well as of Natasha, provided the voice of their Rugrats universe counterparts while Yuri is largely silent.
  • Alan Quebec (voiced by Alex Trebek) hosted "Super Stumpers", the fictitious game show on which Didi Pickles appears in the episode "Game Show Didi".
  • The Mega Hyper Heroes are the superheroes that the babies watch on TV. The babies imitated the characters by calling themselves the "Mega Diaper Babies". They only appeared in the episode "Mega Diaper Babies" and appear to be based on the Fantastic Four. When four teenagers join their rings together, they become the Mega Hyper Heroes where they work to save Earth and the universe from various villains who would do something like hog the world's oxygen supply, drain the oceans, or blow up the universe.
    • Changeling (voiced by Neil Ross) is the group's leader, capable of adopting animal forms.
    • Miss Invisible (voiced by Kath Soucie) is capable of invisibility.

  • Metallitron (voiced by Gregg Berger) is the robotic enemy of the Mega Hyper Heroes.
  • The Mole People are Reptar's archenemies.
  • Goober the Gopher is a friendly, hug-loving character created by Lipschitz Industries as a friendly children's icon resembling Barney the Dinosaur. In one episode, the grownups got rid of the Reptar decor in the babies' room figuring it scared Dil, and replaced it with Goober the Gopher. This led the babies to get Reptar and Goober to fight for who should be the better mascot.

Real people

  • Chick Hearn (voiced by himself) appeared in the episode "Touchdown Tommy" as the sports anchor of a football game.
  • Pat Sajak (voiced by himself) appeared in the episode "Chuckie is Rich" as the host of a Publishers Clearing House-like contest, where the $10 million grand prize was won by Chas Finster.

Films

The Rugrats Movie

  • The Circus Monkeys are a monkey band that escaped during a circus' local train accident. In the end, they are reunited with their owners.
  • The Banana Brothers (voiced by Abe Benrubi and Phil Proctor) are ringmasters of the Banana Brothers Monkey Circus and owners of the monkeys.
  • Scar Snout is a large wolf eager to eat anyone who trespasses into his territory. He was inspired by a tyrannosaur and the worst predator in the woods. He scares both the babies and the monkeys. In the climax of the film, he tries to stalk the babies, intent on killing them, but is defeated by Spike, the Pickles' dog. The two fall down the bridge where the babies are standing, but only the Wolf is killed by the fall, making him the only character in a Rugrats movie to be killed.
  • Ranger Frank and Ranger Margaret (voiced by David Spade and Whoopi Goldberg) are forest rangers who help the parents find the babies, and the first new characters to see the Reptar Wagon. Ranger Frank is cowardly and excitable, while Ranger Margaret is more calm and rational.
  • Rex Pester (voiced by Tim Curry) is a news reporter who hampers the adults' efforts to find the babies as well as Spike. He mispronounced the babies' names as well as mistaking the Reptar Wagon for a horse.

Rugrats in Paris

  • Coco LaBouche (voiced by Susan Sarandon) runs the amusement park EuroReptar, a Japanese theme park in Paris. Her boss Mr. Yamaguchi is offering her the job of president of the company, but only if she learns to love children, to which she lies and says that she is engaged. This sets the climax for the film. The real reason she brought the Pickles and gang to France is so that Stu could fix Robo Reptar. She also plans to marry Chas by wooing him for the sake for the promotion and kidnap the babies because of her fear of children. When her plans got discovered, her wedding gets called off and Mr. Yamaguchi fires her, much to her humiliation. Angelica steps on her wedding dress, causing it to rip to have her underwear shown in front of everyone, including some people with cameras.
  • Jean-Claude (voiced by John Lithgow) is Coco's right-hand assistant. He is loyal to his boss and helps her with the kidnapping of the babies. He usually has the job of telling Kira what to do, and he is more sensible than Coco. Jean-Claude also pilots Robosnail and seems to have fears with dogs as Spike chases him away from the Notre Dame Cathedral.
  • Mr. Yamaguchi (voiced by Mako) is the president of Yamaguchi Industries (the main sponsor of the Reptar franchise) and Coco's boss. He made a cameo appearance in The Rugrats Movie, where his face is in a newspaper article holding a toy design contest, which inspired Stu to make the Reptar Wagon. In Rugrats in Paris, Mr. Yamaguchi appeared in person, and planned to step down as president, and find a successor who cares for children (the main audience for the Reptar franchise). At first, Mr. Yamaguchi is fooled by Coco into believing that she loves children and that she's engaged to Chuckie's father Chas, which prompted him to pass over the promotion to Coco after the wedding. However, Yamaguchi is unaware of the fact that Coco actually despises children (including Chuckie) in general and that she only plans to marry Chas for the sake of the promotion. In the end, Angelica and the babies interrupt the wedding and reveal Coco's plot, prompting an angry Yamaguchi to fire Coco immediately.
