Chuckie wanted to teach him how not to be scared, and he succeeded. Chaz and Kira saw how much fun Chuckie and the other babies were having fun with Pepper, so they decided to let Kimi and Chuckie keep him.

Melville died of an unknown reason later in the episode and Chuckie and his friends had a funeral for him.
[edit] Other characters
- Reptar (unknown voice actor): 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 (Which is obviously a parody of Disneyland Paris). There was a giant Reptar robot there, which the babies piloted and fought against Jean Claude. Later on in the years, reptar has a major part playing in the series all grown up, where memories from the babies life comes into the episodes.
- The Dummi Bears: A cartoon watched by the babies. It is a spoof of Disney's "Gummi Bears" Cartoon and Nelvana's "Care Bears". Suzy'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 (they escape from their parents to go see the Reptar movie, and cause havoc in the movie theater)
- Taffy (voiced by Amanda Bynes): Aspiring singer, guitar player, and a babysitter for the kids. The character was introduced to the series around 2003, but was only seen in 3 or 4 episodes. She narrates the stories in Tales from the Crib.
- Dr. Lipschitz (voiced by Tony Jay): Child psychologist expert and instructor whose books Didi and Chaz obsessively consult, although Betty dislikes him. Originally a "never-seen" character and referred to only as the author of his baby expert books, he later became a recurring character in the series' second run, making occasional visits to the Pickles' household.
- Jonathan (voiced by Rene Auberjonois in "Mommy's Little Assets", Dan Castellaneta in "Jonathan Babysits"): Charlotte's assistant, whom Charlotte is usually seen talking to on the phone. Also originally a "never-seen" character, he was also introduced in later episodes. He stole Charlotte's job in New York and later became her assistant again. He tried to steal her job again, but to no avail.
- Cynthia: Angelica's toy doll. Angelica loved Cynthia very much and was her favourite toy, she would often get very distraught when Cynthia left her sight. Despite this, however, Angelica would tear the hair from Cynthia's head and blame her for troubles that Angelica found herself in. During the babies' many adventures that may involve having to use tools to dig holes in the ground, Angelica would use Cynthia as her own shovel!
- Coco Labouche (voiced by Susan Sarandon): A mean French woman who owns EuroReptarland in Paris. She hates kids, and wanted to marry Chuckie's dad, Chaz, so that she could become president. Jean Claude, her assistant, gave her plan away. She never ever became president and lost her careers as well. Kira was her assistant during Rugrats in Paris.
- Dean : Better know as "Dino", he was Angelica's first love in an earlier episode. He rode a big kids bike and was a year older than her. Only appeared in two episodes. Left Angelica with a broken heart when he left her for his mother but he still showed up for her third birthday party.
- The Wolf: A ferocious wolf living in the forest who stalked the babies throughout The Rugrats Movie. It eventually tracked them down to a bridge near a ranger's station where it battled Spike, who was protecting the children. The wolf was eventually sent tumbling off the bridge with Spike; while Spike survived the fall and landed on a support beam though, the wolf fell into the river. Whether ir survived or not is unknown.
