Tommy Pickles, formal name Thomas Pickles,[1] is the main protagonist as well as the center character of Nickelodeon's animated TV series Rugrats (and all films except Rugrats in Paris: The Movie, in which he is the deuteragonist) and its spin-off All Grown Up!. He is clad only in a T-shirt and a diaper and he is bald with big blank eyes. He translates everything adult into baby gibberish, like most babies. Arlene Klasky said that she based the character of Tommy on her own son. Tommy typically does not wear shoes, but has been seen wearing shoes, most often with specific outfits.
