Alaskan Bull Worm
The Alaskan Bull Worm is a large white worm that eats anything it sees. All of Bikini Bottom is scared of it, and it is seen in Sandy, SpongeBob and the Worm. The worm is able to easily destroy property by eating it. It is one of the most humongous creatures in the series as its mouth is mistaken to be a giant cave, its tongue is mistaken to be a giant worm and its large enough to crush an entire city by itself.

At the Krusty Krab, SpongeBob gives everybody a description of the worm; he says it is big, scary, and pink.

SpongeBob and Sandy are later chased by the worm in the episode, until they lost the worm when it accidentally fell off a cliff and crushed Bikini Bottom.

The Alaskan Bull Worm has appeared in two video games. First in SpongeBob SquarePants: Revenge of the Flying Dutchman, the worm was a boss while SpongeBob and Sandy were learning karate in the worm's cave. The only way to win is karate chop the dark blue breath back to the worm, and not the green one.

In "Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy V", when Mermaid Man orders a Pipsqueak Patty (a very small version of a Krabby Patty intended for children) for Barnacle Boy at the Krusty Krab, they get into an argument which ultimately results in Barnacle Boy becoming a villain and forming a group called "E.V.I.L."

After the Krusty Krab was bought out by Mr. Blandy and rechristened the "Krabby O'Monday's", Carl became its manager and supplied SpongeBob and Squidward with their new outfits and employee manuals, as they too became employees of Mr. Blandy as part of the deal with Mr. Krabs. With the new ownership of the restaurant, he put a giant flat screen TV, an automated cash register, and a Krabby Patty machine in Krabby O'Monday's. Carl seems to always be cheerful and smiling, but is actually quite sinister if the employees prove inefficient at their tasks; he hires a big, strong, unnamed fish to "talk" to any employees who aren't as cheerful as he. He also disposes of the original Krabby Patty recipe and creates synthetic patties, made from a raw, inedible, gray substance cooked, painted, and flavored to taste like real food.

He later hires Mr. Krabs as a busboy, but pushes him over the edge when Mr. Krabs discovers how Carl is running the place. Mr. Krabs retaliates by showing the customers what their patties are really made of, scaring them off. He then sabotages the synthetic patty maker by jamming an automated cash register into the machine. Panicked, Carl asks for Mr. Blandy's help, as Mr. Krabs is a "free thinker". Mr. Blandy arrives just in time to witness the synthetic patty maker explode, creating a flood that destroys Krabby O'Monday's and sends everyone out of the restaurant. As Carl is washed away by the overflow of gray gunk, he asks Blandy, "Does this mean I won't get that raise, sir?" Carl may later have been fired by Mr. Blandy or simply found a new position elsewhere.

Clamu is a purple sea oyster with periwinkle lips. She has a pink-red tongue. She also has some dark purple spots on her shell.

Clamu is a likeness to Shamu, the gigantic wale.

Clamu was a sea oyster at the Bikini Bottom Zoo who regularly spit a pearl 100 feet into the air. In the epsiode "The Smoking Peanut," SpongeBob came to the Zoo and went to her exhibit. She was sleeping. SpongeBob threw a sea peanut at her, causing her to wake up and start wailing. She also threw one of her trainers, Joe, out of Oyster Stadium, where she was held. The crying could be heard all over the Earth, even above the surface of the water. SpongeBob thought that it was his fault, when the person who caused her distress was Mr. Krabs, who had stolen her pearl.

While she had kept wailing, SpongeBob tried to turn himself in, but Patrick ended up being thought to be the culprit.The fans in the stadium threw peanuts at him yelling "BOO" while patrick tried to catch them in his mouth tied to two poles on top of a barrel(maybe). SpongeBob said that he had did it, but Mr. Krabs was turned in by Joe, who had surprisingly survived the fall.

Then Clamu's pearl hatched, revealing a baby oyster.

Clamu is very emotional.

D
The Dark Knight (not to be confused with The Dark Knight (film)) is Sandy's ancestor that was first seen in the episode Dunces and Dragons. She works for Plankton's ancestor for a while but until SpongeBob, Patrick, and Squidly come along she decides to switch sides because SpongeBob is very good at Karate.

Dead Eye Plankton was arrested and thrown in jail after he was defeated by SpongeBob's great cowboy ancestor, SpongeBuck SquarePants at high noon by stepping on him. There was a song named after him called "Dead Eye".

Dead Eye Plankton looks like Plankton. Except he had some villaionus cowboy clothes, and a stovepipe top hat, and even though he was so small, everyone was still scared of him.

Debbie
Debbie Rechid is a citizen of Bikini Bottom. She is purple with blonde hair with a pink headband in wearing a pink dress and a pearl necklace. She's the older daughter of Fred and Sadie Rechid, she is also a student of Mrs. Puff's Boating School.

In Once Bitten she and the Bikini Bottomies wanted to kill Gary. She was part of the field trip in Nautical Novice. Debbie is seen in Good Neighbors in a car with a friend taking Squidward the hospital where her mother works. She is seen as a little girl in Christmas Who? although, she's really a teenager. She's the oldest sister of Monroe, Tommy and Baby Rechid.

Dennis
Dennis is an antagonist appearing in The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie. 3 ft, 180 lb

He was a mercenary who was hired by Sheldon J. Plankton to kill SpongeBob SquarePants and Patrick Star. The reason being that Plankton stole King Neptune's crown and tricked Neptune into believing the crime was committed by Eugene H. Krabs, so Neptune threatened to execute Krabs (via burning by fire) unless the crown was to be retrieved within a period of six days; Plankton, obviously, wanted Krabs to die of a painful and wrongful execution, and upon learning SpongeBob's and Patrick's journey to get the crown back, he sent Dennis after them.

SpongeBob and Patrick encountered Dennis for the first time during the middle of their journey. Dennis was about to kill them with his "big" spiky boot, only to be stepped on by the Cyclops' "bigger boot". After what happened at Shell City, SpongeBob and Patrick escape and ride on the backside of David Hasselhoff, who speedily swims through the ocean in order to send them back to Bikini Bottom. During the middle of the swim, SpongeBob and Patrick see the boot of the Cyclops that he stepped on Dennis with. Dennis then detaches from the boot and onto Hasselhoff, revealing that he is still alive. He tries to kill SpongeBob and Patrick, but fails yet again. He was knocked off by a pier Hasselhoff swam under, never to be seen again by the viewers. As the Spongebob movie is stated to be the series finale of the show, Dennis is most likely will never be in another episode.

Dirty Bubbles
The Dirty Bubble the arch-nemesis of Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy. His form is that of a giant, dirty bubble, hence his name. He can capture an object by landing over it and sucking it in. In the episode "Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy II," he suddenly appears and attacks Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy, trapping them inside him. When Spongebob emerges from the diner, having found the Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy theme song on the jukebox, he defeats the Dirty Bubble by popping him with a pencil which he claims was for the Dirty Bubble to sign his autograph with (it is uncertain whether he actually wanted his autograph and the popping was inadvertent, or if Spongebob was simply adding humor/irony to the situation). Dirty Bubble somehow returns, alongside Man Ray, alive and well, in "Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy V". In the episode, Man Ray has teamed up with him to form an organization called E.V.I.L. (Every Villain Is Lemons). When Barnacle Boy tires of Mermaid Man treating him like a little kid, he joins the two, and commits crimes. In the end, Barnacle Boy returns to the good side, leaving Man Ray and Dirty Bubble disappointed. He is a champion at paddleball, as seen in Have You Seen This Snail?. His name might be derived from an episode in an old TV show called "The Wild Wild West" with an episode being named "Night of the Deadly Bubble."

Doggie Williams
Doggie Williams is a minor character in SpongeBob SquarePants. He has only been in one episode so far, Squirrel Jokes. He is a comedian who usually starts off the night by throwing pies at the audience. He resembles a common Bikini Bottomite, but with hair similar to a clown, clown shoes, a blue and white striped sweater, and a friendly smile.

DoodleBob
DoodleBob was a crudely made self-portrait of SpongeBob SquarePants. He appeared in the episode "Frankendoodle."

DoodleBob becomes evil, and steals the magic pencil. Because he was created using a magic pencil (which belonged to a human artist at sea who accidentally dropped it into Bikini Bottom, which SpongeBob and Patrick found), DoodleBob came to life. SpongeBob intended to use him to play a harmless prank on Squidward, but when DoodleBob approached Squidward, he turned evil and started to beat him up. SpongeBob and Patrick chased him, and when they cornered him, SpongeBob decided to erase DoodleBob with the magic pencil. However, unknown to SpongeBob and Patrick, SpongeBob forgot to erase his arm.

DoodleBob comes to SpongeBob's house at night and uses the magic pencil to restore himself (and also adds a pair of angry eyebrows). After chasing SpongeBob, he erases a portion of his house and erases some parts of SpongeBob. SpongeBob and DoodleBob struggle with the pencil tug-o'-war-style, which causes it to spilt into two pieces. SpongeBob restores himself, and DoodleBob sharpens his piece of the pencil. DooodleBob corners SpongeBob, but when he steps on a piece of paper, his foot gets stuck to it. When SpongeBob observes this, he gets a sheet of paper and traps DoodleBob's entire body onto it, causing him to smile and then become an ordinary drawing on the paper. SpongeBob then decides to post it onto is wall. Patrick hears all this noise at SpongeBob's house, so he arrives there to investigate. SpongeBob shows him what happened and tells him that DoodleBob was an uncomfortable two-dimensional creature in a three-dimensional world.

Eugene Harold Krabs
Eugene Harold Krabs, better known as simply Mr. Krabs (born November 30, 1942) is a cheap and selfish red crab. He is the owner of the Krusty Krab, as well as the employer of both Spongebob and Squidward. Mr. Krabs is often respected by SpongeBob, while Squidward tends to loathe him. Mr. Krabs' greed in the series is exaggerated with him often anthropomorphizing money. He will do almost anything to obtain money or not lose it, usually with no regard to the safety or well-being of others or even himself. Mr. Krabs has a daughter, who is a sperm whale, named Pearl. Also it is shown at one time he and Plankton were friends.

In Eugene's childhood, he and his family were very poor, to the point that his mother had to sew rags for clothes. Their neighbor, Old Man Jenkins, of whom Mr. Krabs thought as family, helped them through these rough times. Plankton, born on the same day as Krabs, was his best friend from birth. While at the carnival one day, Mr. Krabs is exposed to money for the first time by a penny on the ground, and is instantly enthralled by the concept of money. Since then, Eugene H. Krabs has been literally obsessed with money.

Because of his family's poverty, Mr. Krabs was teased at Poseidon Elementary School, where Plankton was his only friend. The only place to get a burger in Bikini Bottom, was Stinky Burger, which, despite being a filthy place with terrible food, was very successful with the children simply because it was the only place to get a burger. After seeing Stinky's wealth, Krabs and Plankton were inspired to create their own burger. Initially, However, no one was willing to buy their burgers. Old Man Jenkins ended up being the first to try the "Plabs burger." However, the burger knocks Jenkins unconscious, which leads Krabs and Plankton to get into an argument, during which Plankton attempts to steal the formula and ends up accidentally ripping it in half, with each of them ending up with one half and going into business alone. However, during their struggle, an ingredient shelf in their restaurant collapsed, dumping the ingredients into the burger batter, creating what would, combined with the Krabs family's secret sauce, become the Krabby Patty secret formula. Both Plankton and Krabs attempt to sell their creations separately, and only Krabs succeeds. This leads Mr. Krabs to start a business which lead his family out of poverty.

Mr. Krabs also served in the navy for a time, during which he acquired the nickname "Armor Abs". Eugene H. Krabs currently lives in a anchor shaped house with his daughter, Pearl. In the Spongebob Trivia Book, Mr Krabs says that Pearl takes after her mother, implying that he married a whale.

Mr. Krabs' career began after a war, where he was secluded in a deep depression that seemed endless. His luck changed when he bought a local bankrupt retirement home, "The Rusty Krab," which he decided to turn into a restaurant, adding a K to "Rusty". He decided to go into business, selling his family's Krabby Patty burger. The Krusty Krab was extremely successful from the beginning, and has for years stood as Bikini Bottom's premiere daytime eatery.

Mr. Krabs' arch business rival is his one-time friend Plankton, who owns a restaurant called "The Chum Bucket" literally right across the street from The Krusty Krab. Plankton, a mad scientist, constantly attempts to steal the Krabby Patty secret formula, frequently utilizing his various robots and other creations. Occasionally, Plankton uses other tactics besides stealing the formula in order to hinder Krabs and attract customers to himself. However, all of Plankton's schemes are doomed to fail, and are constantly thwarted by Krabs, with help from Spongebob and friends. On multiple occasions Plankton is stated to never have had a single actual customer (However, in some recent episodes, such as "Chum Caverns", Plankton's plots do give him brief success).

In "the SpongeBob SquarePants Movie", Mr. Krabs opens The Krusty Krab 2, right next to the original burger joint. He chooses Squidward to manage the restaurant, much to SpongeBob's dismay. However, in the end of the movie, (After Spongebob saves Bikini Bottom and Mr.Krabs' life), he is appointed new manager of the Krusty Krab 2. In "Squilliam Returns", Mr. Krabs works as the Chef in Squidward's fancy new version of the Krusty Krab, but is apparently a terrible cook, creating a disgusting and freakish "appetizer", which eventually comes to life and begins attacking the restaurant's patrons.

Mr. Krabs is short, red and plump and has very tall eyestalks, a crinkled nose, large claws, and very short, pointed legs. He wears a blue shirt and slacks. Krabs is often likened to a sailor or pirate. Many times when he appears onscreen, sailor's music is played. Krabs speaks with a stereotypical pirate-type accent and uses sea-faring vocabulary: he refers to his staff as his "crew", disagreement as "mutiny", Spongebob's kitchen as the "galley". In early episodes, he refers to Squidward almost exclusively as "Mr. Squidward".

As stated above, Mr. Krabs is extremely greedy and miserly, in some cases portrayed as being no better than Plankton, if not even worse. His only interest is to make money, and could not care less for his customers or employees. He frequently associates his customers and products with money, with lines such as "That's me money walking out the door!" It should be noted that, while Mr. Krabs was portrayed as being obsessed with money to the point of anthropomorphizing it from the beginning, he became more miserly, cheap and immoral as the series progressed.

He is prone to fits of insanity if he has to give up so much as a penny, and often goes to irrationally great lengths to acquire or to avoid losing money with little, if any, regard to the safety or well-being of others or even himself (in "Squid's Day Off", he loses both arms and suffers a severe head injury while attempting to pull a dime out of the sink). In "Born Again Krabs", he sells SpongeBob's soul to the Flying Dutchman for sixty two cents, despite the fact that SpongeBob put his life on the line to protect him from the Dutchman. In the same episode, he forces SpongeBob to sell a disgustingly old and contaminated patty that he found under the grill, refusing to let anything that he could potentially make money with go to waste. Ironically, this results in the Krusty Krab losing weeks of business.

His treatment of his employees is just as bad: while inconsistent throughout the series, Spongebob and Squidward's wages are always stated to be extremely low, far below minimum legal wage. In "Bummer Vacation", Spongebob comments that a nickel is "more than (he makes) in a year." In "Big Pink Loser", he implies that instead of being paid, he actually has to pay his boss. He is also shown to abuse his employees, most notably in "Fear of a Krabby Patty", in which he literally forces them to work nonstop 24 hours a day, seven days a week without rest. In "Squid on Strike", Mr. Krabs gives Spongebob and Squidward bills instead of checks on payday, which charge them for any non work-related activity, including standing, breathing, and even existing.And in One Coarse Meal, Spongebob Reveals that he gets paid with FAKE money. His safety measures and maintenance of the restaurant are extremely poor, if not nonexistent, frequently resorting to improvised and obviously inadequate measures to avoid paying for actual insurance and repairs.

In multiple episodes, Mr. Krabs takes advantage of the situation in order to make money, only to have it backfire later on. For example, in "The Krusty Sponge", after a food critic gives the Krusty Krab a good review because of SpongeBob, he completely changes the Krusty Krab to center all around SpongeBob, with SpongeBob condiments, SpongeBob train rides, SpongeBob napkins, SpongeBob ice cubes, and even "Spongy Patties" (really old, rotten Krabby Patties). The "Spongy Patties" give all the customers food poisoning, and Krabs is arrested by one of the customers, who happens to be a cop. In "Money Talks", it is revealed Krabs has sold his soul multiple times, including to the Flying Dutchman and SpongeBob ("He was five bucks short on payday.")

Mr. Krabs can also be incredibly petty. In Plankton's Regular, where the Chum Bucket gets a regular customer, Mr. Krabs breaks down crying, saying that he can't let Plankton have even one solitary customer, even though Plankton said beforehand that he wouldn't try to steal the Krabby Patty formula anymore. Another example is in "Penny Foolish", where he goes to ridiculous length's to acquire a penny that SpongeBob found, setting up numerous tricks that would ironically cost far more than a penny. During his schemes, he often forces SpongeBob to do personal tasks for him by threatening to fire him. Mr. Krabs has also shown that he believes that he has full control over SpongeBob's personal life: in "Karate Choppers", he forces SpongeBob to give up karate altogether, including outside of work, or else be fired, and in "My Pretty Seahorse", where Mr. Krabs tells SpongeBob to not just stop bringing Mystery to work, but to get rid of her entirely. Despite his cruel and money-grubbing behavior, it is shown that Mr. Krabs is not completely heartless. He has apologized for his actions on occasion, and he does care for Pearl, going to great lengths to acquire food for her in "Growth Spout". Despite his abusive treatment of SpongeBob and Squidward, he does care for and appreciate them, as the two help keep his restaurant afloat. In "Krusty Love", Krabs finds his second love (after money): Mrs. Puff. However, their relationship has not been explored at all after this episode. Also in Best Day Ever, when SpongeBob is sad, he actually uses his money to try and cheer him up.

Eugene Krabs' home is an anchor, in the vein of Spongebob's pineapple and Squidward's tiki. His address is 3541 Anchor Way, which suggests that there may be other anchors on his street. Mr. Krabs lives with his seemingly adopted whale daughter, Pearl. He also owns a pet worm named "Mr. Doodles" as seen in "Sandy's Rocket" and "As Seen On TV". He has a mother, who lives in a near identical version of his anchor home, except it is pink. Mr. Krabs seems to be incredibly fit for someone his age and weight, as he has demonstrated titanic strength on a number of occasions. In "Squeaky Boots", he lifts the whole Krusty Krab, filled with numerous customers, like a feather. In Bucket Sweet Bucket he pushes the whole Krusty Krab across the street and then throws it into the air. In "Le Big Switch", he tips over the Krusty Krab from the back, dumping all the customers out. He also possesses a remarkable sense of smell; he is actually able to smell money, and in "Hooky", he tracked down SpongeBob and Patrick by sense of smell at least a few hours after the two left the Krusty Krab, claiming that he can "smell laziness up to ten thousand leagues." He fought in World War II and flew a F4F Wildcat and was shot down and thats how he came to Bikini Bottom. After getting shot down a Japanese warship sunk and destroyed the only burger place in Bikini Bottom. Thats how he got the idea for the Krusty Krab.

Mr. Krabs has an extremely prevalent antagonistic side and plays a villainous role in several episodes, mainly due to his extreme greed.

In "Clams", he forces Squidward and SpongeBob to stay on his boat until he retrieves his one millionth dollar and threatens to starve them. After they attempt to escape, he uses them as live bait for the clam to give him his dollar back. He lures the clam with stock music, and it then appears and eats him. He miraculously appears again, alive and well, with his millionth dollar back. However, he traded his entire body (spare his head and left arm) for it.

In "The Krabby Kronicle", He tricks SpongeBob into writing lies about people in Bikini Bottom, threatening to get rid of SpongeBob's spatula if he didn't do so(meaning he'll fire him). These lies end up ruining the lives of several people. Ultimately, SpongeBob writes a story about what Mr. Krabs was forcing him to do, and all of his money is taken back by an angry mob. At the end of the episode, Krabs starts making counterfeit bills with the printing machine.

In "Krabby Land", Mr. Krabs schemes to make money by attracting children with an extremely cheap and unsafe theme park like attraction. He eventually reveals his true motives, and is subsequently beaten, robbed, chained to two poles and force-fed lima beans by two muscular thugs.

In "The Algae's Always Greener", after Plankton and Mr Krabs switch lives, Mr Krabs,who was stark naked, followed Plankton's motive to steal the Secret Formula.

In "Krusty Love", he puts Spongebob in charge of his money on his date with Mrs. Puff so that he does not end up spending it all, yet demands Spongebob to buy several increasingly unnecessary items for her before they even leave her house to go to the park, and still getting mad at Spongebob just for doing what he was told. Eventually, SpongeBob loses his temper and gives Mr. Krabs a verbal scalding before walking off in a huff.

In "Wet Painters", he threatens to cut off SpongeBob and Patrick's butts if they get any paint on anything other than the wall when painting Mr. Krabs' house (which they were essentially forced to do), telling them that the paint is permanent. SpongeBob and Patrick are extremely careful, but end up getting paint all over Mr. Krabs' first dollar, much to their horror. When he returns, however, he reveals that it was all for the purpose of a joke, and they leave in disgust. However, Mr. Krabs laughs so hard at his own joke that he sprays spittle all over his living room and ruins the paint job.

In "The Patty Caper", Mr. Krabs secretly steals the secret ingredient to the Krabby Patty formula to avoid paying for it (a whole $1.99), and attempts to frame SpongeBob to cover it up. It nearly succeeds, but Mr. Krabs unintentionally reveals that he did so, and is forced by the judge to give out free Krabby Patties all day the next day. While SpongeBob is giving out the patties, Mr. Krabs is shown strapped to a chair, screaming and forced to watch, much to the glee of the police officers holding him.

In "Jellyfish Hunter", arguably Mr. Krabs' most famous villainous role ever, he tricks SpongeBob into catching all of the Jellyfish in Jellyfish Fields for him in order to make Jelly Patties for the customers. Unknown to Spongebob, Mr. Krabs runs a secret factory where the jellyfish seem to be squeezed of every drop of jelly, and then get disposed of. The mysterious Blue Jellyfish, No Name (later named Friend by SpongeBob), brings Spongebob to the factory and reveals to him Krabs' true nature. Spongebob foils Mr. Krabs' plan, freeing the jellyfish, who proceed to sting Mr. Krabs all at once.

In "One Krab's Trash", Mr. Krabs tricks SpongeBob into giving back the soda drinking hat that he sold to him as a scheme to earn money once he finds out that it is extremely valuable. He uses a fake ghost and tells Spongebob that the hat is cursed and that he must return it to its dead owner. His plan backfires when it turns out that there is an actual dead person with the name and SpongeBob literally buried the hat in his grave. Mr. Krabs digs up the grave and retrieves the hat, awakening an entire cemetery of zombies, which he spends the entire night fighting. Krabs goes to sell the hat to the rich people, only to find out that an entire warehouse full of them had been discovered, making the hat worthless.

In "Penny Foolish", Mr. Krabs tries to get the "penny" that SpongeBob found on the ground through a series of elaborate tricks that ironically would cost far more than a penny to set up. His desperation for the penny leads him to enter SpongeBob's home, uninvited, where SpongeBob catches Mr. Krabs and explains to him that it was actually a piece gum he found on the ground. However, after Krabs leaves, SpongeBob realizes that it is really a 500 dollar bill and throws it on the ground. Even after all this, Mr. Krabs continues to look for the "penny", digging for it in SpongeBob's yard.

In "Krusty Krushers", Mr. Krabs witnesses severe beatings at the hands of the wrestling champions and says that no one deserves such beatings. However, he ends up tricking SpongeBob and Patrick into fighting for the million dollar prize. The two are no match for the massive champions, and when they are about to lose, Mr. Krabs breaks down crying over losing the prize money, not giving a thought for SpongeBob and Patrick. When they actually do win, they choose the alternate prize of going to wrestling camp over the money, much to Mr. Krabs' dismay.

In "No Hat for Pat", Mr. Krabs hires Patrick as a sideshow attraction called "The Falling Fool", in which Patrick constantly falls down and gets both injured and publicly humiliated. However, when Patrick fails to fall into a bucket of sea urchins, his customers (despite his claim of no refunds) take their money back by force, also stealing the clothes off Mr. Krabs' back. Enraged over this, Mr. Krabs promptly fires Patrick and vows that he will never work for him again.

In Bossy Boots, he passes out upon hearing SpongeBob say "Pearl, You're Fired", and is only revived by the smell of a 20 dollar bill.

millionth dollar.
 * In Wormy, he and Squidward was eaten by a butterfly (well to Spongebob and Patrick anyway).
 * In The Lost Mattress, SpongeBob and Patrick buy Mr. Krabs a new matress for him to make his aching back feel better. However, his old mattress, which they threw out, had all of his money in it, causing Mr. Krabs to go into a "cash coma". Also, Mr.Krabs had no insurance, so he was moved into the halls, then outside, and finally pushed down a hill, where the gurney crashes and Mr. Krabs coincidentally lands on his matress.
 * At the end of "Wishing You Well", he wishes that he was steamed and served with a side of melted butter to prove SpongeBob that the wishing well has no real magic. The wish comes true, and a man is shown preparing to eat him, with a napkin reading "THE END".
 * In "Krusty Towers", the hotel collapses with Spongebob, Squidward, Patrick and Mr. Krabs all inside. They all end up in the hospital, and upon seeing the outrageous medical bills, Krabs decides to turn the Krusty Krab into a hospital.
 * In "Imitation Krabs", Spongebob concludes that Mr. Krabs is a fake, and feeds him to the same live-action hand that appears in the opening sequence. At the end of the episode, after the true Imitation Krabs is exposed, Spongebob saves the real Mr. Krabs.
 * In "Born Again Krabs", Mr. Krabs dies from eating the disgusting old patty, and is sentenced to Davy Jones' Locker, the underwater equivalent of Hell. However, he convinces the Flying Dutchman to give him another chance, promising to be nice and generous. He holds up his promise, assuming the whole thing to be a dream, until he realizes that he is awake, after which he goes on a rampage throughout the restaurant, prompting the Flying Dutchman to appear to take him back to Davy Jones' Locker. However, Spongebob stands up for Mr. Krabs, and as a final test, the Dutchman gives Krabs the choice of Spongebob or 62 cents. Krabs chooses the money, and the Dutchman spirits away Spongebob to take Krabs' place in Davy Jones' Locker. It is at this point that Krabs finally sees the error of his ways, and Spongebob is given back, not because of his repentance, but because the Flying Dutchman could not stand Spongebob, and Krabs having him in his life would be a fate worse than death.
 * In "Dying for Pie", he is nearly killed by the explosion a single crumb of the Pie-Bomb.
 * In "The Krusty Plate" SpongeBob resorted to using maximum power to clean a plate and it exploded when Mr. Krabs opened the door.

 * In "Squid's Day Off", Mr. Krabs gets his hand stuck in a sink pipe while attempting to retrieve a dime that had fallen in. While attempting to free him, Spongebob accidentally tears Mr. Krabs' arms off, sending him flying into a wall and causing a shelf to collapse, dropping several heavy objects onto his head, the last of which, ironically, is a dime. The incident puts Krabs in the hospital.
 * In "Pressure", he and the other main characters are attacked by a seagull while on dry land, but are saved by Sandy.
 * In "Clams", most of Mr. Krabs' body is eaten by the giant clam in exchange for his one

Evelyn
Evelyn is a pink fish with a red swimsuit and orange fin. She first appeared in the episode "Ripped Pants." Her name was revealed in Band Geeks, where she was a member of Squidward's band. She has attended many Bikini Bottom special events, including the cook-off between SpongeBob and King Neptune, The Fry Cook Games, The Great Snail Race, and Squidward' clarinet recital. She even attended other events that mean, Dunces and Dragons, SquidBob TentaclePants, Slimy Dancing, Suction Cup Symphony, and Krusty Krushers. She second time attended to be a member in music class as revealed in Professor Squidward. She appeared blue in No Nose Knows. She told Squidward that she needed a refund for Krabby Patty in the episode, Have You Seen This Snail? In Once Bitten, it was revealed that she was married to Harold. She also has been married to Tom, as revealed in Sailor Mouth. She was one of Plankton's customers as seen in Mermaid Man vs. SpongeBob, Chum Caverns, and Chum Bucket Supreme. She has three known children: Billy, as seen in Walking Small; Tyler, as seen in Sun Bleached; and Jimmy, who was revealed in Band Geeks. In All That Glitters her eyes were covered by Tina. She is voiced by Sirena Irwin.

Flats the Flounder
Flats the Flounder is a flounder who first apears as a cameo in "Sandy's Rocket", where he was one of SpongeBob's "alien hunting" victims. He also makes another minor appearance in "Texas", where he attended Sandy's Texas party. His only major appearance, however was in "The Bully", joins Mrs. Puff's boating school and wants to "kick SpongeBob's butt." Spongebob takes this extremely seriously, reacting as if he were going to actually kill him. He makes many attempts to reason with and/or escape him, but to no avail. He even calls Patrick to protect him, only to find out that Flats is with him and that they were community college buddies. He also tries to go to Mrs. Puff to help, who talks to Flats (much to Spongebob's dismay) and explains to Spongebob that "kicking his butt" means that Flats wants to become his friend (this is obviously not true). Flats goes so far as to chase Spongebob out of school into town, even trying to run him over with a garbage truck. However, the garbage truck slips on a banana peel and flips over, critically injuring Flats. He wakes up in the hospital and learns that Spongebob saved his life through CPR, yet he STILL wants to kick his butt. Eventually, Flats corners Spongebob in his own home, and proceeds to "kick his butt" by repeatedly hitting him. However, Spongebob discovers that his spongy body simply absorbs the blows and does not hurt him at all. Flats continues to hit Spongebob throughout the whole week until he finally passes out from exhaustion one morning at boating school. He is voiced by Thomas F. Wilson.

Flats' body is shown to be somewhat two-dimensional, hence his name.

He has a father, who Spongebob attempts to convince to stop him, but he appears to live in fear of his own son.

Flying Dutchman
The Flying Dutchman (November 21, 1873-June 9, 1925) [Always seen as a ghost] is a fictional character from the Nickelodeon television animated series, SpongeBob SquarePants. He is a green pirate ghost who haunts Bikini Bottom.

The Flying Dutchman is a green pirate ghost named after the famous ghost ship of the same name. He lives in a giant ship that floats in the underwater "sky." He is first mentioned, but does not physically appear, in the episode, "Squidward the Unfriendly Ghost". Here, it is explained that after he died (his cause of death is unknown), a clothing shop used his body as a window display (mannequin). Now he haunts the seven seas because he was never put to rest. Whenever he appears, a thunderstorm suddenly occurs.

According to the episode, "Your Shoe's Untied", he last wore shoes over 5,000 years ago (it could be assumed from this statement that he has been a ghost for over 5,000 years, though this is impossible due his birthdate being 1873, and his attire in no way resembling such a time period), and has won the Fancy Knotting contest for the past 3,000 years. The knots he knows include: The Pretzel Knot, Double Diamond Knot, Square Knot, The Constrictor, Gut Knot, Pillow Knot, Butterfly Knot, Monkey Chain, Monkey's Fist, The Monkey and the Loop Knot, a.k.a. Poop Loop. However, he is unable to tie a simple shoe knot, due to him not wearing shoes. In addition, he cannot eat without his dining sock as mentioned in "Shanghaied." In "Scaredy Pants", he expresses a dislike for the tradition in which others dress up as him for Halloween and claims that it "turns the Flying Dutchman name into a laughing stock".

The Flying Dutchman once lost his "scare", in the episode "Ghost Host". He got so carried away, that he stopped scaring for months. He became a couch potato in SpongeBob's house until finally SpongeBob helped him be scary again. In the same episode, it was shown that he had some sort of wedding ring. In "Curse of Bikini Bottom", the Flying Dutchman was seen with no beard. It was because of SpongeBob and Patrick so he turned them into ghosts. The Flying Dutchman is the keeper of and escorts people to Davy Jones' Locker, which is the underwater equivalent of Hell, and is an actual locker. It is full of sweaty socks, because "(Davy Jones) works out a lot." This almost happened to Mr. Krabs in "Born Again Krabs". In "Spongebob vs. The Big One", "Davy Jones" is jokingly shown to be Davy Jones, the singer of the real-life band The Monkees.

The Flying Dutchman has a green glow around him, yellow eyes with black irises, scaraggly beard, pirate hat with a chunk taken out, droopy nose, coat, little pigtails, and ghostly tail, and also speaks with a Scottish Pirate accent. He has a sister named Sally Dutchman.

The Flying Dutchman is essentially all-powerful within the ocean. Abilities shown include:
 * being able to appear anywhere at anytime
 * changing his size
 * fulfilling 3 wishes
 * generating the "Fly of Despair" (seen in Shanghaied)
 * tying several types of knots (unfortunately not including a basic shoe knot) (as seen in Your Shoe's Untied)
 * turning his head around 360 degrees
 * morphing into monstrous forms
 * spewing fire from his nostrils
 * floating through walls
 * shooting lasers from his eyes

Frank
Frank is a red-orange fish with a light blue shirt. His name was revealed in the episode, "Dying for Pie". SpongeBob had put Squidward in a salmon suit and showed him to everyone in Bikini Bottom. The last person seen to be introduced was Frank, and it's possible he's friends with Squidward. His name was revealed when Squidward addressed him. He is also a common customer at the Krusty Krab. In Pizza Delivery, for some reason, he looks like Tom in a red color. In "I Had an Accident," his name was Percy, in Valentine's Day his name was Dave and in Good Ol' Whatshisname his name was different.

Frank also appeared as a tough "buffed up" fish.

Frank
Frank is a tan fish who is the owner of Palace of Pranks, a shop where SpongeBob is top customer. Frank wears and eyepatch and is green in color. He is only seen once, in "Pranks a Lot," where he sold SpongeBob invisible spray.

According to SpongeBob, Frank is a master at pranks, and makes a living helping aspiring pranksters like SpongeBob and Patrick to get started on playing gags on others. At his shop, his products include:
 * Fake Seanut Brittle (Snakes in a can)
 * Hand Buzzer
 * Fake Dollar
 * Whoopi Cushion
 * Invisible Spray
 * Fake Vomit
 * Real Vomit
 * Exploding Chewing Gum

Frank is a green color. He wears a blue shirt and has brown pants. He has short grey hair and has an eyepatch on his left eye. His name rhymes with prank, despite the name of his store.

Fred
Fred Rechid is a dark-greenish brown fish who was the first of the regular generic character models to appear in the series, first being seen in "Reef Blower" but is barely even seen, being only seen in a car as Spongebob zooms past him, and is arguably the most prominently used. He is most often seen at the Krusty Krab. The name "Fred" was used in "Patty Hype". He is voiced by Doug Lawrence.

He has been duplicated in several episodes, most notably "Sandy, SpongeBob, and the Worm" and "The Chaperone". A blue-colored variant of him is seen in several episodes, including "Pickles", "Something Smells", and "Party Pooper Pants".

The best way to recognize him is by hearing his most famous quote: "MY LEG!" (The quote first appears in "Hall Monitor") He is seen screaming this phrase out loud in "Arrgh!" when Mr. Krabs throws him out of the Krusty Krab by his legs.

French Narrator
The French Narrator is a man with a heavy French accent who speaks at the beginning, and sometimes middle and/or end, of most episodes. His only physical appearance was in "No Free Rides", where he run over by Spongebob and is shown to be a human in a wet suit. The French narrator is based on Jacques-Yves Cousteau, the world-famous sealife expert who died in 1997. On the November 16, 2004 episode of Fresh Air with Terry Gross, Tom Kenny admitted that Cousteau was the inspiration for the French narrator, as SpongeBob SquarePants creator Stephen Hillenburg considers Cousteau an idol. The voice of the French Narrator is done by Tom Kenny, who also does the voices of SpongeBob SquarePants and Gary the Snail, among others. In "Can You Spare A Dime?", a Time Card with the text "So much later that the old narrator got tired of waiting and they had to hire a new one," being read by an unknown narrator with an English accent, is shown, jokingly claiming that the French Narrator quit. However, this is not permanent.

Gary the Snail
Gary the Snail is a character in the Nickelodeon animated comedy SpongeBob SquarePants, which first aired on May 1, 1999 (officially premiered on July 17, 1999). In the television series, Gary is SpongeBob's pet snail, although his behavior in several aspects resembles a housecat. As revealed in "Rule of Dumb", Gary is the rightful king of Bikini Bottom and is related to Patrick. Gary is shown to be very intelligent and literate, although, being an animal, he lacks the communication skills to convey this. In Gary's dream in "Sleepy Time", he is able to talk, has a humanoid body, and resides in a massive library.

Gary B. Snail was born to Sluggo the Snail, and a descendant of King Amoeba. Information regarding Gary's early life is limited to that he lived with SpongeBob while the latter lived in his parents house, which is implied in "Home Sweet Pineapple." Also, young SpongeBob and young Gary are featured in SpongeBob's scrapbook in the episode "Have You Seen This Snail?"

In the episode "Rule of Dumb," it is revealed that Gary is the rightful king of Bikini Bottom and Patrick's cousin, although interestingly snails and starfish are very far off from each other on the evolutionary line; in contrast, a chicken has more in common with a human.

Since SpongeBob was a little boy, he has taken the ownership of Gary. Gary is an intelligent, fully domesticated snail. His intelligence shines through in the fact that he has more intelligent solutions to SpongeBob's dilemmas than SpongeBob himself. Gary tends to disagree with some of SpongeBob's ideas, and usually makes an effort to warn him. Gary is generally shown to find Spongebob oblivious, ignorant and annoying, yet still willingly tolerates him.

In "Have You Seen This Snail?" Gary runs away from Spongebob when he fails to feed him because SpongeBob was addicted to the official Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy Paddle Ball Set. Gary wanders aimlessly in search of a home, venturing into the dangerous inner city, until he is found by an elderly woman who pampers and overfeeds him, and renames him Ms. Tuffsy. However, he eventually discovers her horrible secret: she is a snail killer! Gary narrowly escapes from her, and upon learning of Spongebob's desperate efforts to find him, realizes that Spongebob does indeed love him and has learned the error of his ways, and goes back to him.

Gary speaks mostly with cat-like meowing, although Spongebob is shown to understand what Gary is saying. Gary has only been heard speaking English three times: Once in "Sleepy Time" in his own dream, once in "The Secret Box" where he says "Err...No.". The third time was in The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie, when Gary is under the control of Plankton's mind-controlling bucket helmets, he chants "Meow Meow Plankton."

Gary, even more mature than Squidward Tentacles, is a young intelligent snail interested in books, reading and other educational stuff.

In Opposite Day according to Spongebob Gary had a low Holiday Spirit, so he barked instead of meowed, and also barks in few other episodes

Gary has a blue body and green-yellow slime and eye stalks, big green eyes, red and black eye balls, and a purple shell with purple spots and red swirl and a large tumor in his lower stomach area.

Gill Gilliam
Dr. Gill Gilliam (born December 31, 1968) is a doctor who works in the Bikini Bottom hospital. In addition to being a doctor, he is a veterinarian, snail disease expert, and snail expert too. He first appeared in "I Was a Teenage Gary," where he told SpongeBob that in order to cure Gary, he must inject him with Snail Plasma but because he was to saerd to do it himself (mostly because he most likey know if you get injected with it you would turn in to a snail) SpongeBob get injected with it and turns into a snail. He later appeared in "Suds," where he assigned treatment to SpongeBob when he had the "suds." In "Squid's Day Off," he helped get Mr. Krabs's arms back on him after they fell off. In "The Bully," he told Flatts the flounder that he was in the hospital and that SpongeBob had performed CPR on him for five hours straight. In "No Weenies Allowed," he recommended that SpongeBob go to the Weenie Hut General Hospital, rather than the hospital he was in, because SpongeBob called his injuries "Boo-Boos." He does not like to be touched by those who have food poisoning, such that Mr. Krabs had in "Born Again Krabs". He performed 20 hour-surgery on SpongeBob's gluteus maximus by repairing it with staples and glue. He later appeared in "The Lost Mattress" where he told SpongeBob, Patrick, and Squidward to retrieve Mr. Krabs' money after he fell into a "cash-coma." He made a brief cameo in SquidBob TentaclePants, where he told a woman that she had given birth to a healthy baby, only to have the fused SpongeBob and Squidward to teleport in the baby's place as he shows it to the woman. His name was not revealed until the episode "Once Bitten". He convinced the Bikini Bottomites that Mad Snail Disease is a myth. He is usually purple when seen, except in "Once Bitten" where he is orange. In Slide Whistle Stooges and Shuffleboarding he is called Dr. Forrest, so it is possible that they are twins and the purple Gill Gilliam is Dr. Forrest, and that one of them are married but took their wives last name. He wears a white buttoned coat and glasses. He took a "small" splinter out of Gary's foot thereby curing Grouchy Snailitis. In "The Two Faces of Squidward", Gilliam performed Squidward's operation. He was paranoid with SpongeBob's interuptions during the final stages of the operation. He is also the dentist in Bikini Bottom, as seen in Mid-Life Crustacean. He is voiced by Rodger Bumpass. Also he is one of the only fish with fingers.

Karen
Karen (born June 16, 1972) is Sheldon J. Plankton's "computer wife." A Mark II Univac, she is the main computer system of Plankton's lab, and is often the source of his plots. She is voiced by Tom Kenny's wife, Jill Talley. Her Name Stands For Kiwi Advanced Research and Education Network.

When they get married, Plankton was 49 and Karen Plankton was 20. They got married on November 9, 1992. Although Plankton says in the film that she agreed to be his wife, she retorts this by saying, "I never agreed".

Karen usually manifests on the large-screen computer in Plankton's lab, but sometimes acts through a portable wheeled computer. She was first shown in the episode "Plankton!", although in her first appearance she was simply Plankton's talking computer and would not be established as his wife until later on.

Karen and Plankton's relationship is a very troubled one. Plankton does not consider her his true soulmate, and in one episode explains to her that W.I.F.E. stands for "Wired Integrated Female Electroencephalograph". The two frequently argue, and Karen is often very bossy and rude to her husband, having a Nag-chip installed in her. She also thinks Plankton's first name is funny, as shown in "Plankton's Army". Karen is often indifferent to her husband's plots to defeat Mr. Krabs and often shows very half-hearted dedication to his plans for domination over others. Despite their differences, Plankton has said that marrying Karen was the greatest thing that ever happened to him, the second being his Evil Plan Z succeeding.

Karen is, in some ways, smarter than her husband. A running gag in the series is that while Plankton is contemplating his plans in his lab, Karen will suggest a route of action to him, which he will dismiss and ignore. Immediately after, Plankton will come up with something identical to Karen's idea, attributing it to himself.

Karen is a Marc 2 Surplus UNIVAC with 256 gigabytes of ram, and it has been mentioned that she was a security system before marrying Plankton. In "Goo Goo Gas", when Plankton sprays her with the gas, Karen is turned into a calculator. In "All That Glitters", a monitor that looks exactly like Karen in her portable form is seen in the hospital.

In the episode "Single Cell Anniversary" it appears she has a Mother-in-law system.

King Neptune
King Neptune is the series' depiction of Neptune, the Roman God of water. In the universe of SpongeBob SquarePants, Neptune is the god and supreme ruler of the sea. His name is often used in place of God's, with phrases such as "Dear Neptune" and "Neptune preserve her!". However, he has never explicitly been shown to be worshipped by the creatures of the sea. King Neptune first appeared in the episode "Neptune's Spatula", while a completely different Neptune appeared in The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie. Neptune is voiced by John O'Hurly in the TV series, and by Jeffrey Tambor in the movie.

King Neptune first appeared in the season one episode "Neptune's Spatula", where he appears after SpongeBob pulls the Golden Spatula from the ancient grease, making him Neptune's royal fry cook. However, Neptune refuses to accept such a lowly creature as SpongeBob as the chosen one, and challenges him to a cookoff where, if SpongeBob wins, he will become a god in Atlantis, but if he loses, he must give up fry cooking forever. The challenge is held at the "Poseidome", where the first one to make 10,000 patties wins. Using his godlike powers, Neptune wins the challenge just as SpongeBob finishes his first patty. To celebrate his victory, he gives the patties to the audience, who hate it. Neptune then tastes SpongeBob's patty, and loves it. He declares SpongeBob the winner and makes him a god. However, when SpongeBob learns that his friends can't join him in Atlantis, he does not want to go, and instead makes Neptune his "trainee" at the Krusty Krab. In this episode, Neptune is blue, and has fairly realistic human features, has hair, a mustache, a beard, thick fingers, is very muscular, and has no crown. This version of Neptune also appears in Battle for Bikini Bottom, where he summons SpongeBob and Patrick to the poseidome to defeat a robot version of Sandy. In the live-action Patchy the Pirate segment of "Party Pooper Pants", a live-action version of Neptune is at Patchy's party. Neptune plays a central part in The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie. The movie also introduces Neptune's duaghter, Princess Mindy. This version of Neptune is green-skinned and far more cartoony than the version in "Neptune's Spatula". He is also explicitly portrayed as a king rather than a god, and lives in a palace just outside of Bikini Bottom rather than Atlantis. This Neptune is very brutish and tyrannical, which he tells his daughter is necessary for him to be respected as a ruler. His crown is very important to him, not only because it is a symbol of his power, but because it covers his "thinning" (bald) head. When the crown is stolen by Plankton Neptune attempts to execute Mr. Krabs, who is framed for the crime.

The "Neptune's Spatula" incarnation of Neptune appears briefly in "SpongeBob vs. the Patty Gadget".

In a picture book called "SpongeBob and the Princess," Princess Neptunea (who does not resemble Mindy) comes to Bikini Bottom.

Larry the Lobster
Larry T. Lobster (born January 8, 1984) is a muscular red lobster who is a common patron and lifeguard of Bikini Bottom's popular beach, Goo Lagoon. He is voiced by Doug Lawrence. Larry first appeared in the episode "Ripped Pants". Although he appears in many episodes, Larry is a relatively minor character in the series, usually relegated to minor or background roles. He is also 26 years old.

Larry is a bodybuilder and is often seen competing or working out. He is always seen in his swim trunks, even when not at the beach, similar to Patrick. He regularly goes to Bikini Bottom's beach, Goo Lagoon, and works as a lifeguard there, as seen most notably in "SpongeGuard on Duty". Larry is one of the strongest creatures in Bikini Bottom, possibly second only to Sandy Cheeks, of whom he is a good friend. Larry is very popular and is idolized by many other beachgoers. In "Band Geeks", it is stated that Larry's heart once gave out from too many tanning pills, and in "Roller Cowards" he is revealed to have a bad armpit odor that is caused by adrenaline. Larry has also run for Bikini Bottom president against Patrick Star. His campaign slogan is "Do you want a president that does not drool when he thinks? Vote for Larry!" Despite this, he lost to Patrick unanimously on February 19, 2007. Larry's implied parents appear in "SpongeGuard on Duty". However, they are not lobsters, they are generic "old person" character models. Larry kicks his own parents off of the beach for being too "old and unsightly", in an ironically polite manner.

Larry appears in the video games "SpongeBob SquarePants: Employee of the Month", "Lights, Camera, Pants!", and "Battle for Bikini Bottom".

Man Ray
Man Ray is an archenemy of Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy. He is a parody of Aquaman's arch villain, Black Manta. He was originally voiced by John Rhys-Davies, but later replaced by Bob Joles. Man Ray is an anthromorphized Manta Ray with a blue helmet shaped like the head of a manta ray and red skin. His gloves, boots, and speedo are a deep blue color. He has no head under his helmet.

Man Ray first appears in "Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy III", where he was imprisoned in the Mermalair in a capsule of frozen tartar sauce. He was thawed by SpongeBob and Patrick past his head, then thawed completely when he swore to them that he had given up his evil ways, and that if they didn't release him there would be dire consequences. But, his claim of reform was only a trick. Spongebob and Patrick attempt to confirm his reform by putting him through a series of "goodness" tests and shocking him with the tickle belt that was locked onto him when he does wrong. They eventually fully believe him when he says "please" and release him from the belt. Man Ray then reveals his true intentions and goes off to continue his crime spree, only to turn to the good side (for real this time). However, he later resurfaces as a villain in the episode "Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy V", as part of E.V.I.L. (alongside the Dirty Bubble and Barnacle Boy (referring to himself as "Barnacle Man"). He also had a great appearance in Back to the Past, where he was part of a messed up future SpongeBob and Patrick created. He was mayor of the city in this episode.

He appears in a Krusty Krab commercial in "Mermaid Man vs. SpongeBob", where he is using the Tickle Belt on Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy. Mermaid Man says, "He's as strong as the Krusty Kids' Meal", and Man Ray is fooled by the mention of the meal, his favorite food. With Man Ray's hands tied up in chains, he wonders how he could be evil with the Kids' Meal and laughs with Mermaid Man.

He appears again in "Shuffleboarding", where he appears to have retired from villainy and is seen at a laundromat with an old lady named Mable, who he went to the prom with. Despite his not doing anything wrong at the moment, Man Ray and Mable are attacked and arrested by SpongeBob and Patrick.

Man Ray appears in the video game SuperSponge as an enemy, and in "SpongeBob SquarePants: the Yellow Avenger" as a major villain and boss. He also appeears in Spongebob's Drawn to Life as a playable character.

He is also referenced (although not seen) in both "Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy" (before his actual first appearance) and "Mermaid Man & Barnacle Boy VI: The Motion Picture". Man Ray possesses typical superhero combat skills and seems to have the power to shoot destructive lasers from his hands. It is unknown if he possesses other powers. In his first appearance, he steals some of Mermaid Man's weapons, so it's possible the lasers he shoots are built into his gloves and are not actually a natural superpower.

Mermaid Man
Mermaid Man real name Jim (Born June 23, 1919) is a semi-retired superhero who is well past his prime. He and his sidekick, Barnacle Boy, are the stars of a show-within-a-show called "The Adventures of Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy", but are also real superheroes within the universe of SpongeBob SquarePants. The two are now very old, and currently reside at Shady Shoals Rest Home. However, their two biggest fans, SpongeBob SquarePants and Patrick Star, convinced them to come out of retirement. He is voiced by Ernest Borgnine. Mermaid Man is a parody of both Aquaman and Batman. He wears a nearly identical costume, and his powers, which include being able to control the creatures of the sea, are also similar to those of Aquaman. Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy's TV show and method of fighting crime are based on the campy 60's Batman TV show, their secret headquarters, the Mermalair, is a parody of the Batcave, and their vehicle, the "Invisible Boat-Mobile" is a parody of both the Batmobile and Wonder Woman's invisible jet.

Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy first appeared in the episode of the same name. This episode spawned several "sequels" (II, III, IV, V, and VI), all of which featured the duo. Originally, they appeared exclusively in episodes bearing their name. Their first appearance of any kind in an episode not bearing their name was in "Have You Seen This Snail", in which SpongeBob receives a Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy-themed paddle ball set. However, they do not physically appear in this episode. Their first full appearance in a "normal" episode was in "Night Light", and since then, the rule of them only appearing in numbered "Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy" episodes has been abolished. In season six, they appear in three episodes, more than in any other season.

Mermaid Man is an old man who is overweight and very round in shape. He exhibits several typical characteristics of an old man, such as white hair, poor sight and hearing, crankiness and memory loss, often forgetting what he is thinking about or doing. Elements of his costume not shared by Aquaman include an M-shaped belt buckle, a purple star-shaped mask, a scallop-shell bra, and a pair of pink fuzzy slippers. It is unclear how Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy can survive in Bikini Bottom, as they are some of the only true humanoid characters on the show (although they could be Atlantean or otherwise super-powered). Mermaid Man has a sidekick, Barnacle Boy, who he still treats like a child even though Barnacle Boy is 68 years old (according to "Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy V").

According to Mermaid Man, his powers all come from his costume. His abilities include summoning and controlling sea creatures, high speed swimming (used to create the "Raging Whirlpool"), water balls, and the ability to survive underwater. While Mermaid Man retains all of these abilities, they are not as powerful as they were in his prime.

In addition to this, his belt features a wide array of abilities, similar to Batman's utility belt, as seen in "Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy IV". These abilities are usually manifested as a beam or ray. The only one specifically named on the show is the "Small Ray", which shrinks things, but various effects were created when SpongeBob tested various buttons on Squidward in an attempt to reverse the Small Ray's effects. These include several bizarre mutations and effects, such as causing the victim to suddenly catch on fire, turn inside out, or to be cut in half by scissors. In the episode "Ditchin'", a Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy origin comic book is shown. One panel features a man resembling Barnacle Boy and woman resembling Mermaid Man in a spaceship. The woman has two children in her arms resembling Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy, implying that Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy are brothers. However, this book was advertised as being brand-new, so it is likely that this story is false.

Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy have several super-villain enemies. Their two most notable foes are the Dirty Bubble, their arch nemesis, a sentient giant bubble, and Man Ray, a Manta ray-themed villain who is a parody of Black Manta, the arch nemesis of Aquaman. Other villains include the Atomic Flounder, who is now retired, the Sinister Slug, the Jumbo Shrimp, Kelp Thing, the Moth, a humanoid moth who steals light and was seen in "Night Light". Mermaid Man claims to have been trying to catch the Moth for 57 years due to his very small size. The Mermalair features a "villain containment chamber" where villains such as Man Ray and Prawn are imprisoned in frozen tartar sauce, as seen in "Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy III" and the video game Battle for Bikini Bottom. It is unknown whether Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy imprison all their enemies in this manner.

Mrs. Puff
Mrs. Poppy Puff (born January 12, 1949) is a Boating School Driving instructor who teaches students (including SpongeBob) at Mrs. Puff's Boating School. Spongebob has attended the school ever since its opening, and has failed his final driving exam countless times, often injuring Mrs. Puff and/or damaging the school in the process. Mary Jo Catlett, better known for her role as Pearl the maid on Diff'rent Strokes, provides Mrs. Puff's voice.

Mrs. Puff is the owner and sole instructor of Mrs. Puff's boating school, where students are tested to recieve their driver's license. The school consists of a single classroom, where Mrs. Puff teaches classes much like a grade school teacher, surrounded by a large training course with many features and obstacles.Being a pufferfish, Mrs. Puff has the ability to inflate herself, which she usually does when frightened or injured.

Spongebob Squarepants, Mrs. Puff's longest-standing student, is the bane of her existence. His annoying personality, reckless driving and inability to improve torment her to no end. Spongebob has failed his driving test countless times, often sending Mrs. Puff to the hospital and causing immense property damage in the process. On multiple occasions, she has been sent to jail as a result of his actions. To make matters worse, SpongeBob has failed to come to terms with the reality that he cannot learn to drive properly, largely due to his boundless optimism.

No thanks to Spongebob, Mrs. Puff is very paranoid and erratic, and has had a history of mental instability. In "No Free Rides", it is implied that she has had to move to another town and start a new life with a new name in the past.

In the episode "Doing Time" when Mrs. Puff, thinking she is about to die, says "Where did I go wrong?" The scene then cuts to a flashback of Mrs. Puff, presumably at the opening of her school, saying "...as long as a student is willing to learn, I shall never give up." Right after she says this, Spongebob appears and introduces himself to her.

In the episode "Mrs. Puff, You're Fired", Mrs. Puff is fired by her boss, Mr. Fitz, who holds her responsible for Spongebob's repeated failures. However, she is rehired at the end of the episode, once Fitz realizes that Spongebob is unteachable. In the episode "Krusty Love", Mr. Krabs falls in love with Mrs. Puff, and they begin dating. Although they are still on good terms at the end of the episode, their relationship has not been mentioned since. In that same episode, when Mr. Krabs thinks that Mrs. Puff is already married, it is revealed that Mr. Puff was killed by humans and made into a lamp.

In "The Sponge Who Could Fly", Mrs. Puff's pet snail is shown. This snail is, in fact, Snellie, Squidward's snail from "The Great Snail Race". She claims that she has had it since she was a little girl, adding to the confusion. However, it is most likely that this was simply an instance of recycled character models, and Mrs. Puff's snail and Snellie are not intended to be the same character.

Mrs. Puff has been arrested and sent to Bikini Bottom Jail five times in the series, usually due to Spongebob's actions:
 * In "Hall Monitor", when SpongeBob almost destroyed Bikini Bottom, she was sentenced to jail for at 6 months.
 * In "Doing Time", Mrs. Puff is deemed responsible when Spongebob goes on a rampage through the city during a disasterous driving exam, and is sent to prison for a very long time, possibly a life sentence.
 * In "No Free Rides", Mrs. Puff attempts to steal Spongebob's new car after falsely passing him, and ends up crashing into a police car. Spongebob says that the warden would let her go early if she gives free driving lessons.
 * In "Ditchin'" she was arrested for skipping jury duty.
 * In Summer Job, she was arrested for littering.

Mrs. Puff is a tan-colored blowfish with stubby blue fins for limbs. She has yellow hair, and wears a blue shirt with yellow ties, a blue hat, a red skirt, and red shoes. She is very large, but is not overweight, as her size is a trait of her species.

Painty the Pirate
Painty the Pirate, also refered to as Captain, is a painting of a pirate head with his parrot which appears at the beginning of and sings the SpongeBob SquarePants Theme Song. His mouth is actually real, so he could talk. The real lips in the painting are the lips of Stephen Hillenburg, the show's creator. He also makes appearances in "Your Shoe's Untied" and "Wet Painters" (although in the latter he only appears as an inanimate painting). He has a patch over his left eye, a skull-and-crossbones hat, and of course the parrot on his left shoulder. He is voiced by Patrick Pinney in most appearances, but in Truth or Square, in the "rejected" theme songs, he is voiced by Bob Joles. On the ride Spongebob 4D, Painty would come out of the screen to "drag" the viewers underwater. Unfortunately, this scared many children who had to leave the ride.

Patchy the Pirate
Patchy Pirate (born July 13, 1962) is a live-action character appearing in many SpongeBob episodes specials and major events, as the "host" of these. He is the president of the SpongeBob SquarePants Fan Club and is portrayed by Tom Kenny.

He resides in a small home in Encino, California. His bedroom is filled with SpongeBob-themed items such as plush toys, collectibles, bedspreads, and pillows. He also wears SpongeBob's underwear. He has a pet parrot, Potty, who is also his sidekick. They tend to not get along, such as in "Ugh" where they fight over whether prehistory or the future is better. His next door neighbor, an elderly woman named Mrs. Johnson, has been known to make cookies for him, and he requests they be put in a doggie bag. He says he became president of the Fan Club by electing himself and accepting graciously.

Patchy is a stereotypical, intentionally corny pirate character. He has an eyepatch and hook, which he frequently switches between eyes/hands. Patchy also has a black beard and wears a hat and other pirate accessories. In "The Sponge Who Could Fly", it is inferred that he must remove his hook and peg leg in order to take a shower. Patchy even has a spare foot, for when he goes outside. He is able to recover from virtually any injury, including being shot out of a cannon and being bit by a dinosaur. While normally friendly, Patchy is easily angered, especially by Potty.

The live-action segments featuring Patchy and Potty typically appear at the beginning and end of the show, as well as immediately before or after commercial breaks. Patchy has appeared in "Christmas Who?", "Shanghaied", "Party Pooper Pants", "The Lost Episode, "Ugh", "Friend or Foe" and "Atlantis Squarepantis"‎. A logo sequence featuring Patchy appears at the start of "Have You Seen This Snail?", "Pest of the West" and "What Ever Happened to SpongeBob?", identifying the episode as "a SpongeBob SquarePants special". Often, these segments will reflect the theme of the SpongeBob episode; in "Ugh", Patchy attempts to host the show in a prehistoric setting but is invaded by Potty's futuristic technology, and in "Friend or Foe", Patchy and Potty work in a fast food restaurant, where they end up becoming enemies.

Apart from special episodes themselves, Patchy has appeared in several Nickelodeon special events. Leading up to the premiere of "Have You Seen This Snail", Patchy and Tony Hawk look for Gary by following a slime trail. Patchy ended up on Friday Night Slimetime, while Tony ended up in Times Square. Patchy hosted the Best Day Ever marathon on a boat in New York City harbor. In his opinion, New York City is the best city ever. While hosting the marathon, he played chess with his teddy bear (and lost), read magazines (including one about Jessica Alba), and wrote in his diary with a seahorse pen. He also revealed that he had an extreme childhood fear of seahorses, and thereby was frightened by his pen. He also read books, drank hot cocoa, and ate cookies. He later fell asleep at midnight, and missed #85, "Shell of a Man." He is still asleep after this episode, with his hook in his mouth. In the middle of the night, Patchy woke up to announce #61, "Suds" and came up the excuse that he was "resting his eyes". However, he was mumbling and stumbling over his words in the process as a sign that he was half-asleep and, ironically, skipped numbers 62-73. After that he went back to sleep and did not fully wake up until after #43, "Nature Pants", when his alarm clock rang at 8 A.M. He had Pirate Flakes cereal and Orange Juice for breakfast. He also got a back massage, and told the viewers about the Empire State Building. Patchy hosted the Z to A countdown from the Bahamas starting at 5:00 P.M. on November 12, 2007. It was revealed that he cannot swim, but he still went through with an underwater talk show to present "Atlantis SquarePantis". In The Ultimate SpongeBob SpongeBash, Patchy is the DJ at the "party". The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie also has Patchy Pirate.

Patrick
Patrick Star (born February 26, 1986) is a fictional character in the Nickelodeon animated television comedy SpongeBob SquarePants, voiced by Bill Fagerbakke. Patrick is an overweight pink sea star who lives under a rock and is SpongeBob’s best friend. Like his best friend, he tends to be extremely gullible and clueless (even to SpongeBob’s intentions), but remains a very loyal friend.

Very little is known of Patrick's education, However, it is mentioned in the episode "The Bully" that Patrick attended college with Flats the Flounder. In lesser education, Patrick attends Mrs. Puff's Boating School in the episodes, "New Student Starfish" and "Driven to Tears". However, this was only because he was lonely and wanted to be with Spongebob. Patrick is actually quite talented in driving a boatmobile, as shown in "Driven to Tears". In "Sing a Song of Patrick", Patrick mentions his gym teacher. In "Naughty Nautical Neighbors" and "Squidward the Unfriendly Ghost", Patrick is shown to be able to administer C.P.R. Throughout the series, Patrick has had brief and random moments of intelligence on several occasions, which are often meant to be intentionally out of character for him. For example, in "Squidtastic Voyage", when they are trapped inside of Squidward's body, Patrick suggests capturing the CO2 in the ballast tanks, refiring the engine, and riding the shockwave out. When Sandy says that they will go through with his plan, Patrick, forgetting what he had just said, asks "What plan?" In "Frankendoodle", Patrick accurately criticizes SpongeBob's crude drawing of a jellyfish, implying an aptitude for art, and in "Patty Caper", he creates an abstract and surprisingly lifelike sketch of Squidward, further supporting this. In the episode Chimps Ahoy, Patrick was able to invent a portal to a parallel universe. This was his smartest side yet, although SpongeBob said it was just a mirror. Based on this information, he may have taken art, medical, and/or physics.

Patrick has never had a long-standing occupation. However, he has had various jobs, mostly at the Krusty Krab. He has worked there a total of seven times: In the episodes "Arrgh!," "Big Pink Loser," "Squilliam Returns," "That's No Lady," "Bummer Vacation", "Banned in Bikini Bottom", and "Pat No Pay".

Patrick has also worked at the Chum Bucket three times. The first was in "The Fry Cook Games", in which he takes the job in order to be able to compete in the Fry Cook Games. The audience was at first fooled into thinking an enormous fish would be the competitor, when in reality he was only carrying the real contestant, Patrick Star (a parody of a scene in the film Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls). In a later episode, "Chum Bucket Supreme", Patrick becomes the slogan manager for the Chum Bucket and creates the catchphrase "CHUM IS FUM". The third is Bucket Sweet Bucket when Patrick, Spongebob (even Squidward) become in charge of redecorateing the chum bucket. but they mess up with everything, and finally get everything off the krusty krab, and reconstruct it on top of the Chum Bucket. In Rule of Dumb, Patrick was discovered to be of royal blood and briefly reigned as King of Bikini Bottom. However, this was a mistake, and the true heir to the throne was Gary (who is also revealed to be Patrick's cousin).

In the episode "Sing a Song of Patrick," Patrick takes advantage of a mail-in offer to have a song written by him recorded by a professional band. The song was so horrible that the band died.

Patrick lives under a rock, literally, on 124 Conch Street, two doors down from his best friend, right next to Squidward and 400-yards away from the Krusty Krab. The home's exterior is featureless, apart from a small yellow weather vane, which is shown falling off on numerous occasions.

Patrick is sometimes shown to sleep on the ceiling, although far more often he is shown sleeping in a traditional bed. Patrick spends much of his day sleeping under his rock. There are many inconsistencies in the depictions of his house due to the nature of the cartoon and utility treatment of backgrounds: in one episode, his house is depicted to be nothing but a bed and a chest of drawers, yet in others he appears to have a kitchen and a living room. Also, certain episodes tend to depict the surface below the rock to be completely flat, while in others there is a considerable amount of depth below it. Patrick claims to have built the house himself.

As Nickelodeon says of Patrick's house in a commercial bumper: "What's really beneath this famous rock? The home of Patrick Star. While the outside never changes, a closer look inside reveals that Patrick's house is never set in stone. Sometimes, there's just sand. Other times, there's a small den. Occasionally, there's a large master bedroom. And there's the Multi-Room Complex featuring an eat-in kitchen, arched doorways, and a hi-def TV. Rock on!"

Although he is unintelligent and is usually carefree, magnanimous, and generally detached, Patrick has demonstrated a cold, shrewd, even sociopathic side at times.

In the episode "I'm with Stupid", SpongeBob volunteered to act stupid around Patrick's parents in an attempt to improve their opinion of Patrick. However, Patrick takes the act to far, to the point where he actually begins to believe that SpongeBob is that stupid. All the teasing and embarrassment from Patrick and his supposed "parents" eventually proves too much for SpongeBob, who runs away screaming and crashes through the wall of his house. After SpongeBob fails to produce a gift for Patrick on "Valentine's Day" (which was in reality due to scallops attacking and stalling Sandy's chocolate balloon, which was his intended gift), he concludes that SpongeBob must hate him (especially after finding out that SpongeBob gave gifts to everyone else, including somebody he had just met that morning) and goes on a violent rampage throughout the carnival, eventually cornering everyone (including Spongebob and all the innocent bystanders) at the end of the boardwalk, seemingly with the intention of killing them. Once Sandy shows up and Patrick realizes that SpongeBob has indeed gotten him a gift, his anger is forgotten.

In the episode "Nature Pants" when SpongeBob decides to live away from home, a hurt and crazed Patrick attempts to capture him and keep him in a jar on his mantle. When SpongeBob escapes by jumping into the jellyfish hive, Patrick gives up, snaps his net in half, and walks home crying.

In the episode "Rock-a-Bye Bivalve", Patrick fails to do his fair share of work in taking care of the baby scallop, claiming that he is too tired from work. Each night, he promises to assume responsibility for the baby the following night, but repeatedly fails to do so. When Spongebob finds out that "work" consists of Patrick watching TV under his rock, he is furious. Patrick finally realizes the error of his ways when Spongebob shows him the obscene amount of diapers that he has to change. In the episode "Driven to Tears", he attends Mrs. Puff's boating school, suspecting that Mrs. Puff was setting up SpongeBob's tests so he would constantly flunk, and passes almost effortlessly. Afterward, he rubs his license in SpongeBob's face every chance he gets, calling himself a "driving genius" (despite having ran red lights and made dangerous U-turns), and when SpongeBob finally gets sick of it and destroys his license, Patrick is arrested for littering and sentenced to prison time (which would never happen in real life). However, Spongebob confesses to the "crime" and takes Patrick's place in jail. The two friends reconcile when SpongeBob is released from prison.

In the episode "Rule of Dumb", Patrick is crowned King of Bikini Bottom and acts in a ruthless, despotic manner, thinking he has the right to take and use whatever he wants, regardless of what harm it brings to others, to the point of out and outright stealing. After weeks of ruining everyone's lives for his own personal gain, Patrick goes too far by hiring a construction crew to move Squidward's house in order to set up a Ferris wheel. Squidward starts a revolt against Patrick among the townspeople, and Patrick begins planning to kill (or so it seems)Squidward in order to show his power, even scaring SpongeBob away at this point. When Patrick looks into the mirror and sees a monstrous version of himself, he becomes horrified by what he has become, decides that friendship is more important than power, and happily abdicates the throne when it is discovered that he is not the true king.

Similar to SpongeBob's super-human abilities of shapeshifting, duplication, invulnerability, and regeneration, Patrick has, in various episodes, shown to possess superpowers such as flight ("The Sponge Who Could Fly", "A Life in the Day") and superhuman strength ("The Battle of Bikini Bottom", "Suds", "Nature Pants", "Gift of Gum", "Valentines Day", and many others). In "Night Light", Patrick was able to climb up a ray of sunshine to reach the sun, which he mistook for a lightbulb, and runs back down with his behind on fire. In "Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy V", Patrick becomes "The Elastic Waistband" (A parody of Plastic Man), gaining the ability to stretch his body to incredible lengths, as part of Mermaid Man's International Justice League of Super Acquaintances.

Patrick is a very chubby starfish, therefore he also has a pointy cone-shaped cranium (he was known as pinhead Larry by Spongebob in the episode Survival of the Idiots). He also has green-blue eyes and dark pink dots all over his pink skin. His dress code is to wear light green pants with purple flowers, he also hardly ever wears a shirt. He doesn't have a nose, except for the episodes Battle of Bikini Bottom, and No Nose Knows. He also one time took off one of the dots on his pink skin and put it where his nose should be.

Patrick is Spongebob's best friend. They have been friends ever since they were born. When they were kids, they lived next door (now only being separated by Squidward's house) They do everything together, except for work. Then Patrick gets lonely and goes to the Krusty Krab to see Spongebob. Squidward dislikes their friendship and is always trying to get them mad at each other, such as in "Naughty Nautical Neighbors where he blew a voice bubble to Patrick, pretending to be Spongebob, saying he hates him.

There has been multiple time where it is shown the Spongebob and Patrick may have feelings for each other, though Tom Kenny doubted that. Some include "Valentine's Day" "Hooky" "Wormy" "Shanghaied" "Frankendoodle" "The Secret Box" "Idiot Box" and many more, even though its not true.

Patrick's parents are first shown in "I'm With Stupid", although only at the end. A couple named Janet and Marty, presumed to be his parents, appear throughout the episode, but are at the end revealed to be confused imposters.

In "SB-129", "Patron", a distant descendant of Patrick with multiple heads, is shown in the future, and a savagely primitive ancestor of his is shown in prehistoric times. In contrast, Patar, the caveman version of Patrick seen in "Ugh" is distinctly different from the one in SB-129, being more evolved and similar to the present day Patrick in behavior.

Patricks non-linear family tree, seen in "Rule of Dumb", which also reveals him to be related to Gary the Snail.

Pearl Krabs
Pearl Krabs (Born May 27, 1990) is a fictional character in SpongeBob SquarePants. She is the daughter of Eugene Krabs and voiced by Lori Alan. Although she is a whale and her father is a crab, it is not clear whether she was adopted, or if her mother is a whale.

Pearl is a whale with blonde hair in a constant ponytail, big blue eyes and a large, rectangular head. She commonly wears a pink shirt with a dark pink letter P, which stands for Pearl, as well as a dark pink skirt and white boots. The episodes "The Chaperone" and "Whale of a Birthday" feature her with a light pink dress and a tiara on. When in this outfit, the hair holder that keeps her hair in a ponytail changes color from dark pink to light pink. She almost always has on reddish-pink lipstick in the shape of a heart on her 'lips'. In "Bossy Boots", it is shown that she does, in fact, have lips.

Pearl's personality is that of the archetypal teenage girl. She is popular at school, and enjoys hanging out with others like her, shopping at the mall, talking about "who likes who," and keeping a good reputation in school as being "coral." ("Coral" is the undersea version of cool which went out when Mr. Krabs began to say "coral" to be "young" again) In early episodes Pearl seems to do things teenagers wouldn't normally do, such as tea parties, and cry when things don't go her way, but later on, she starts acting more and more like a teenager as her character became more defined.

In the Spongebob Trivia Book, Mr. Krabs says that Pearl takes after her mother, which implys that Mr. Krabs married a whale and that Pearls mother is a whale. In "Dunces and Dragons", it is shown that whales have existed in the Krabs family hundreds of years in the past. Pearl has dreams of becoming a famous celebrity. In "Culture Shock", Pearl getting to go on stage is one of the main reasons Mr. Krabs agrees to the idea of putting on a talent show at the Krusty Krab. Pearl's act consists of a cheerleader's cheer spelling out the name of the Krusty Krab, and her immense size causes the floor to shake whenever she lands. Pearl is also used as a back-up invisible boatmobile for "real" Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy movie created by SpongeBob in "Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy VI: The Motion Picture", much to her disappointment.

Her favorite band is an all-boys band called "Boys Who Cry" (a parody of B2K and Nsync). At school, she is a member of the "Most Frequently Pictured in the Yearbook" commitee.

Pearl has no interest in continuing the family restaurant business, largely due to her hatred of her father and dreams of a more glamorous career. In "Bossy Boots", Pearl is brought in to help run the Krusty Krab, and turns it into a girly teen cafe called "The Cuddly Krab", which, despite appearing to be very popular, fails to bring in profits, prompting Krabs to tell Spongebob to fire Pearl, which he has difficulty to bring himself to doing. Pearl reveals that she has been trying to be fired from the beginning, and that the business has been cutting into her "social life."

"Princess Perl" is also a nickname given to one Michael by his best friend Diana.

Although her father is shown to care a decent amount for her in earlier episodes, most notably in "Bossy Boots" and "Culture Shock", Pearl's development into a stereotypical bratty teenage girl and Mr. Krabs development into an extremely greedy, selfish and cheap old miser have brought their relationship to negative terms, the first examples of which occur in season three but most evidently from seasons four onward. Krabs is shown to be extremely neglectful of his daughter, refusing to spend any money or effort on even such important occasions as her 16th birthday, which greatly hurts her social image with her peers. In "The Slumber Party", he goes to great lengths to prevent her from having a slumber party alone with her friends entirely out of concern that they will damage his material possessions. However Pearl is as wasteful with money as her father is miserly with it. While Mr Krabs should have spent more on her birthday, Pearl's list of demands for her birthday was more than any sane person would comply with, and when pearl received a pair of galoshes for her previous birthday her sobbing increased when Mr Krabs said he got them for a bargain.

Potty the Parrot
Potty the Parrot is Patchy the Pirate's pet parrot. Potty is a crudely made puppet with very obvious strings. He is very obnoxious, and normally annoys and talks back to Patchy. Potty was originally portrayed by Stephen Hillenburg. After his departure, Paul Tibbitt was given the role.

Potty is the cohost of Patchy the Pirate, and appears in every episode that features him. Despite being labeled as Patchy's and friend, Potty is a frequent pest to Patchy and is often an antagonist in his live-action segments, although they usually make up by the end of the episode. His rivalry with Patchy the Pirate is similar to Bucky B. Khatt and his owner from the popular comic strip Get Fuzzy.

In "Ugh," Potty ruined Patchy's Cave Man Show by becoming a futuristic cyborg and bringing in a robot. At the end of the show, Potty gives Patchy a pet T. Rex as an "apology present". In "Friend or Foe" Potty and Patchys get into a fight while working as fry cooks, temporarily ending their friendship, which makes Patchy upset. He compares this to how Plankton and Mr. Krabs became enemies, starting the main story of that episode.

Potty has been damaged and/or destroyed on multiple occasions, but always returns in the next scene/episode. In "Christmas Who?" Patchy cuts the strings that Potty is attached to, causing him to fall to the ground. Later in that same episode, Patchy pulls on the strings, causing what seems to be a cast member to fall from the ceiling. Again in the same episode, Potty had eaten so much cookie dough that his entire body falls from the weight, leaving only his head intact. At the end of the "Patchy's Pick" segment from "Shanghaied", Potty is blown up by dynamite, which again causes his whole body to fall, including his head.

Realistic Fish Head
This realistically rendered fish frequently appears as an announcer or host for various news reports and other events in Bikini Bottom. In The Fry Cook Games, he refers to himself as A "Realistic Fish Head". In the Battle for Bikini Bottom video game, where he is the announcer for the main boss fights, he is credited as "Johnny". The realistic Fish Head has been the announcer at such events as the 21st Fry Cook Games. He was the narrator of the King of Karate video in "Karate Island", and voiced the loudspeaker at the Bikini Bottom Zoo in "The Smoking Peanut". In addition to annoucing events in Bikini Bottom, Johnny also serves as a news anchorman for the Bikini Bottom News. Most of the news reports he gives are regarding disasters in Bikini Bottom.

The only times where he has ever interacted with the main characters (as he usually only appears on a screen) are in "No Free Rides" and "Procrastination", and both of these were during dream/fantasy sequences. His voice is often heard when he himself is not shown, so it is uncertain if he is speaking during these instances, as in "No Free Rides" and "Suction Cup Symphony", his voice is different from his usual one. He also appears during the theme song, when the line "Then drop on the deck and flop like a fish" is sung. He is voiced by Doug Lawrence except for "Suction Cup Symphony" where he was voiced by Tom Kenny.

Sandy Cheeks
Sandra "Sandy" Cheeks (born February 18, 1987) is a squirrel who is another of SpongeBob's friends. She is the series' only terrestrial character, living in the "Treedome", which is an underwater dome that contains a large oak tree. She is a scientific genius who practices karate with SpongeBob and enjoys extreme sports. She is from the U.S. state of Texas, therefore she is depicted in the series with a Southern American drawl. Also she lifts weights with Larry the Lobster.

Sandy comes from the state of Texas, and exhibits many characteristics of a stereotypical "cowgirl" character. She speaks with a heavy southern accent, and uses typical southern slang words and phrases. She is very fond of her homeland and its culture, as most notably seen in the episode "Texas", in which she grows homesick for it and considers leaving Bikini Bottom to return to Texas. In that same episode, she takes great offense at SpongeBob and Patrick's negative remarks about Texas, and violently attacks them when they continue to insult it.

Sandy is one of the most intelligent and level-headed characters on the show. She is a multi-talented scientist and inventor, and originally came to Bikini Bottom to study sea creatures and their lifestyles. In "Chimps Ahoy", it is revealed that she is employed by a trio of monkeys from the surface, named Dr. Marmalade, Lord Reginald and Professor Percy. They exhibit stereotypical upper-class English accents and manners, and periodically visit Bikini Bottom to audit her scientific research. As an inventor, Sandy is capable of creating extremely advanced devices with ease. Her inventions include a manned space ship, a teleporter, a submarine that can shrink to microscopic size and go inside a person's body, and even a cloning device.

Sandy is also very athletic and physically fit. She and SpongeBob share a favorite pastime of karate, and frequently fight each other for fun. Sandy also enjoys extreme sports and thrill-seeking, which SpongeBob also joins her in on occasion, most notably in "Prehibernation Week". Sandy possesses immense strength, and is one of the strongest creatures in Bikini Bottom. She is often seen at Mussel Beach lifting weights with Larry the Lobster, of whom she is a good friend, and other muscular fish. In "MuscleBob BuffPants", Sandy shows SpongeBob her immense biceps and intense daily exercise routine. In that same episodes, she wins the eighth annual Goo Lagoon anchor toss competition, tossing an enormous anchor 510 yards.

While generally friendly and positive, Sandy is prone to mood swings and can be vicious when angered, most notably in "Texas". In "Pre-Hibernation Week", when she believes SpongeBob has gone missing, Sandy forces everyone in Bikini Bottom to help look for him, sending them to dangerous places such as Sulphur fields and poison sea urchin coves. When SpongeBob fails to surface, she goes crazy and starts literally overturning buildings in her efforts to find him. In "Survival of the Idiots", Sandy is shown during her Hibernation as an obese, monstrous version of herself (prior to going into hibernation, animals must have tremendous amounts of body fat and energy reserves in order to survive the Winter). Spongebob and Patrick enter her snow-filled Treedome and disturb her sleep, and the semi-conscious Sandy viciously attacks them, believing them to be "Dirty Dan" and "Pinhead Larry", two outlaws from her dreams.

She has also been shown to have a strong competitive streak and a high opinion of herself; in "Sandy, SpongeBob, and the Worm", she completely ignores SpongeBob's warnings about the Alaskan Bull Worm and tells him that she could handle anything; when they find the worm and she witnesses it's gargantuan size, she realizes that SpongeBob was right. In "Pressure", she boasts that dry land animals are better than sea animals, nearly drowning herself in an attempt to "prove" it.

Sandy first met SpongeBob SquarePants when he saw her wrestling a giant clam and ran down to save her. Since then, Sandy has been one of SpongeBob's best friends, and she enjoys various activities such as karate with him. She is also good friends with Patrick, although she is often annoyed and angered by his stupidity. Sandy is also friends with Larry the Lobster, who she regularly sees at Goo Lagoon. The two have been hinted to be romantically involved, and SpongeBob has been shown to be jealous of Larry because of this, most notably in "Ripped Pants".

The nature of Sandy's relationship with SpongeBob is somewhat ambiguous. SpongeBob has brought her flowers on several occasions, and her official biography describes her as being "the apple of SpongeBob's eye In "Tea at the Treedome" amorous music plays when SpongeBob recalls Sandy's words. SpongeBob's song in "Ripped Pants" has romantic lyrics. In one "A Random Act Of SpongeBob" short, SpongeBob leaves Sandy a letter (with a bouquet of flowers) calling her the "smartest, prettiest squirrel in all of Bikini Bottom" for "Surprise Sandy Day". In the video game Battle for Bikini Bottom, after saving Squidward from Robo-Patrick, SpongeBob and Sandy commented each other on a good job while looking flushed. A book called the SpongeBob SquarePants Survival Guide, released on November 1, 2002, has a page titled How to survive a secret crush, saying that if you have a crush on someone, you have to keep it secret. SpongeBob begins to talk about him acting "perfectly natural" at the treedome, but quickly ends, saying "I've said too much!" Although the biggest hint was in Truth or Square Where they showed them getting married, even though it was actually a play.

There has been hints about Sandy liking Patrick. In the episode Party Pooper Pants It is shown that Sandy dances with Patrick. Also the many time Sandy criticizes Patrick, that may be a clue of their love.

Sandy lives in a huge polyethylene dome known as the "Treedome". It is air-locked and contains no water, making it the only place in Bikini Bottom where Sandy can survive without her suit. Its floor is covered in grass, and features a large tree which contains Sandy's living quarters. The Treedome also humorously includes a giant hamster wheel, among other things. As seen in the episodes "Survival of the Idiots" and "Bubble Buddy", the dome produces snow during the Winter, from which it can be assumed to simulate other weather patterns as well.

As seen in the episode "Wormy", Sandy has many pets residing in her Treedome, including caterpillars, snakes, crickets, mice, and birds, among others. In that episode, she leaves SpongeBob and Patrick to take care of her pets while she is away on vacation. A caterpillar named Wormy transforms into a butterfly overnight, and SpongeBob and Patrick think it is a monster that has eaten Wormy. When it escapes the dome, panic ensues.

Although explicitly classified as a main character, Sandy appears in less than one third of all episodes. She wairs purple clothing (which can be seen only when she isn't in her suit). Her suit is white, with a yellow patch with an acorn on it. It also has two red, and a blue ring(s) on each sleve. She also has a big glass dome (but it dosen't have an oxygen tank) with a pink flower (which falls off in the episode Karate Choppers) on it.

Sheldon J. Plankton
Sheldon James Plankton (born November 30, 1942) is Mr. Krabs' nemesis and the main antagonist of the series. He operates a struggling restaurant called the Chum Bucket, located directly across the street from the Krusty Krab. His primary goal in the series is to steal the Krabby Patty recipe and put Mr. Krabs out of business. Plankton succeeds at stealing the recipe in the movie, but his goal of world domination is thwarted by SpongeBob. In the episode "Friend or Foe", it is revealed that Mr. Krabs and Plankton were once best friends, but a dispute over the Krabby Patty recipe ended their friendship.

Plankton's best friend from birth was his future rival Eugene Krabs. This history was revealed in "Friend or Foe". Both Krabs and Plankton were considered outcasts by other children, because Krabs was poor and Plankton was a nerd. When they discovered that money could bring them out of their poverty, they decided to make money selling hamburger patties, and set up a mini restaurant in the local dump. At first, their burgers were not successful. the first of their patties was tried by Old Man Jenkins, who was knocked out by the contaminated burger. Plankton started complaining about how Jenkins had been old and not able to handle the patty. Krabs, offended by this, tried to take the recipe from Plankton to improve upon. Plankton wanted to do this himself, but only ended up with the corner of the recipe which read "and a pinch of chum". Plankton stormed out of the restaurant, and went to create his own recipe using only his memory,the corner of the recipe, and science. At school, Plankton attempted to sell his chum burgers in a chum bucket and failed, when Krabs succeeded with his Krabby Patties, which he had created by accident when Plankton had slammed the door. Ingredients fell in the patty batter, thus creating the patty. Plankton later named his restaurant the Chum Bucket, after the secret ingredient of the original unsuccessful patty recipe. Mr. Krabs named his restaurant The Krusty Krab.

In "Dunces and Dragons" it is implied that the Plankton/Krabs feud began centuries ago when Plankton's evil overlord ancestor Planktonamor was vanquished by a Krabby Patty. Since there is not any feud between Krabs and Plankton in their early childhood, it is possible that these families settled their differences until the childhoods of Krabs and Plankton.

In a comic story, Krabs and Plankton are shown to have been college roommates. Their rivalry is shown to have been caused by a series of things, including Plankton being stepped on by Mr. Krabs (which did not annoy him at all), being closed inside Mr. Krabs' book (which aggravated him a little) and Mr Krabs going out with his date and Plankton's date (which started their rivalry). Since it was revealed in "Friend or Foe" that they were rivals earlier than college, this story is likely non-canonical. Even in the present day of the series, Krabs and Plankton are occasionally shown to somewhat get along, such as in "New Leaf" and "Best Frenemies".

Plankton's restaurant, the Chum Bucket, has always been extremely unsuccessful, not only because of competition from the Krusty Krab, but also due to the extremely poor quality of the food. As its name implies, the Chum Bucket serves chum-based foods, all of which taste terrible. In "Plankton's Regular", the Krusty Krab adds chum to its menu in an attempt to steal Plankton's single regular customer (who was in reality being paid by Karen to eat at the Chum Bucket and pretend to like the food there). The customer is disgusted by their chum, and says that it is the second foulest thing he has ever tasted (it can be inferred that Plankton's chum is the number one worst). This implies that chum is inherently disgusting, and cannot be made to taste good.

It should be noted that in real life, chum is made of grounded up fish parts that are inedible to humans, such as heads and guts, and is used as bait for sharks and similar creatures. This would mean that Plankton is killing fish (or at least collecting dead fish) and serving their remains to other fish. This has only ever been touched upon in "The Krabby Kronicle", where Spongebob prints a story claiming this. However, Spongebob was being tricked by Mr. Krabs into printing absurd lies to appeal to customers, and this story was supposedly false.

Plankton has no regular employees, and runs the Chum Bucket entirely by himself, although he spends most of his time in his laboratory, due to having no customers. Plankton actually runs the restaurant only when he has potential customers. Although it has been stated on multiple occasions that Plankton has never had a single customer, he has on several occasions had brief success, particularly in more recent episodes, such as "Spongicus" and "Chum Caverns".

Plankton's "wife" is his computer system Karen, although neither of them fully consider the other their true soulmate, and their relationship is a very troubled one. Being a microscopic organism, Plankton's biological family numbers in the thousands. In "Plankton's Army", he recruits his entire family to help him steal the formula, thinking them all to be criminal masterminds like himself. However, much to his surprise, his family consists entirely of uneducated, red-necked hillbillies. These Relatives include (but are not limited to): Clem, Zeke, Rufus, Jeke, Billy Bob, Billy Jim, Billy Billy Bo Willy Banana Fanna Fo Filly, Doug, Enis, and Rainchild, the only ones named.

Plankton has two known ancestors. One is the evil wizard Planktonamor, who lived during medieval times and appeared in "Dunces and Dragons". Another is Dead Eye Plankton, a wealthy citizen who attempted a hostile takeover of Bikini Gulch but was defeated by Sheriff Spongebuck Squarepants. Dead Eye Plankton lived during the Wild-West era and appeared in "Pest of the West".

Spongebob Squarepants
SpongeBob SquarePants (born July 14, 1986) is the eponymous character of the Nickelodeon animated comedy SpongeBob SquarePants. He was designed by marine biologist and animator Stephen Hillenburg, and is voiced by Tom Kenny. SpongeBob is a childish, dim-witted and eccentric sea sponge who lives in a pineapple in the underwater city of Bikini Bottom. He works as a fry cook at the Krusty Krab, a job at which he is exceptionally skilled. SpongeBob is very immature and is a constant annoyance to those around him, but he is very good natured.

SpongeBob is a sea sponge, but he is drawn to resemble a kitchen sponge, being rectangular and bright yellow. He takes his square shape and apperance after Grandpa Squarepants, his grandfather. In earlier episodes, he is wider near the top and gets skinnier going further down, but in more recent episodes, he is a more regular square. SpongeBob has large blue eyes, a stubby nose, a large mouth with prominent front buck teeth, and dimples with three freckles on each cheek. He typically wears a white shirt with a red tie, black leather shoes with shoelaces, and brown rectangular pants with a belt. (the entire outfit is sometimes referred to as his "pants"), hence his name. and while working at the Krusty Krab, he wears a tall, white hat with a small blue anchor on it as a uniform. SpongeBob sleeps with his street clothes on, including his shoes. Though SpongeBob has always been voiced by Tom Kenny, his voice has changed over the course of the series; his voice is lower than normal in the pilot episode "Help Wanted", and after the movie his voice gets slightly higher-pitched (and, as some fans say, more annoying).

SpongeBob is a very clueless, immature, dramatic and hyperactive character with a happy-go-lucky personality. He is an extremely determined sponge and will often stop at nothing to accomplish a task. He is also very over-confident and tends to make a big deal of small problems, such as losing his name tag in "Missing Identity". SpongeBob is very kind-hearted and innocent and very rarely acts mean to anyone, even his enemies. He is a very selfless and loyal person, especially towards those close to him. His selfless nature is most notably shown in "Best Day Ever", where he sacrifices his "perfect day" to help his friends. Despite his well-meaning intentions, SpongeBob's actions often cause annoyance and trouble for those around him, most notably his next-door neighbor, Squidward. SpongeBob's innocence also makes him overly trusting and very gullible, and he is easily manipulated by people who intend to use and/or harm him, such as Squidward, Mr. Krabs and Plankton. Even though he's generally good-natured and easy going, when frustrated and angered Spongebob can be sarcastic, rude and 'foul-mouthed', even treating those close to him offensively, In the Missing Identity he is rude to Patrick throughout the episode. Ironically, Squidward is the only character Spongebob never insults when he's angry, even though Squidward is usually openly hostile toward Spongebob.

Craig McCragen intended to create a series about an over-optimistic sponge that annoys other characters. Steven Hillenburg compared the concept to Laurel and Hardy and Pee-wee Herman. As he drew the character, he decided that a "squeaky-clean square" (like a kitchen sponge) fits the concept.

The first concept sketch portrayed the character as wearing a red hat with a green base and a white business shirt with a tie. SpongeBob's look gradually progressed to brown pants that was used in the final design.[1] SpongeBob was designed to be a kid-like character who was goofy and optimistic in a style similar to that made famous by Jerry Lewis.

Originally the character was to be named SpongeBoy but this name was already in use. This was discovered after voice acting for the original seven minute pilot was recorded in 1997. The Nickelodeon legal department discovered that the name was already in use for a mop product. Upon finding this out, Hillenburg decided that the character's given name still had to contain "Sponge" so viewers would not mistake the character for a "Cheese Man." Hillenburg decided to use the name "SpongeBob." He chose "SquarePants" as a family name as it referred to the character's square shape and it had a "nice ring to it".

Although SpongeBob's driver's license says his birthdate is July 14, 1986, which would make the character 12 years old at the time of his debut appearance on May 1, 1999, Hillenburg joked that he is fifty in "sponge years". He explained that SpongeBob actually has no specific age, but that he is old enough to be on his own and still be going to boating school. The decision to have SpongeBob attend a boat driving school was made due to a request from Nickelodeon that the character attend a school.

SpongeBob is voiced by veteran voice actor Tom Kenny. Kenny previously worked with Hillenburg on Rocko's Modern Life, and when Hillenburg created SpongeBob SquarePants, he approached Kenny to voice the character. Hillenburg utilised Kenny's and other people's personalities to help create the personality of SpongeBob.

The voice of SpongeBob was originally used by Kenny for a background character present in a crowd scene in Rocko's Modern Life. Kenny forgot the voice initially as he created it only for that single use. Hillenburg however remembered it when he was coming up with SpongeBob and used a video clip of the episode to remind Kenny of the voice. Kenny says that SpongeBob's high pitched laugh was specifically aimed at being unique, stating that they wanted an annoying laugh in the tradition of Popeye and Woody Woodpecker.

When SpongeBob SquarePants is broadcast in non-English languages, the voice actors Dubbing (filmmaking)|dubbing SpongeBob's voice use Tom Kenny's rendition of the character as a starting point but also add unique elements. For example the French version has SpongeBob with a slight Daffy Duck style lisp.

He wears brown pants, a red tie, a white shirt (which is connected to his pants), and a belt.

According to his driver's license in the episodes "Sleepy Time" and "No Free Rides", SpongeBob was born on July 14, 1986. SpongeBob SquarePants lives with his pet snail Gary in a large pineapple-shaped house on 124 Conch Street, Bikini Bottom. His next-door neighbor, Squidward Tentacles, who lives in an Easter Island head, hates SpongeBob and is constantly annoyed by his antics. SpongeBob is oblivious to this, and believes Squidward to be his friend. Beside Squidward's house is the home of SpongeBob's best friend, Patrick Star, who literally lives under a rock.

SpongeBob works at the Krusty Krab, Bikini Bottom's most popular restaurant, where he is a fry cook and prepares all food served at the Krusty Krab, most notably Krabby Patties. The first episode of the series depicts SpongeBob applying for and being hired to this job. He says that it has been his lifelong dream to join the Krusty Krew, and that only now is he "ready". When he applies for the job, Squidward and Mr. Krabs, wanting no part of him, send him on a fool's errand for a "hydrodynamic spatula with port and starboard attachments and turbo drive". While he it out searching for one, several hundred hungry anchovies arrive and overwhelm Squidward and Mr. Krabs. SpongeBob soon returns, having actually found a hydrodynamic spatula, and saves their lives by feeding the anchovies, showing off his amazing cooking skills in the process.

SpongeBob is not only extremely good at his job, being able to produce a Krabby Patty within seconds, but has a strong passion and an abnormal love for it; he enjoys his job more than any other activity, and is saddened whenever he cannot be at work. He also has a similar obsession with Krabby Patties themselves; he has on numerous occasions proclaimed them to be the best food in the world, and in "Just One Bite" and "Shuffleboarding", he is shocked and horrified to see one thrown away. Spongebob is one of the few characters to have fingers and the only main character to wear shoes.

SpongeBob's skills as a fry cook could accurately be described as superhuman; in episodes such as "Help Wanted" and "Employee of the Month", he is seen making them at rates of hundreds or even thousands per minute. He has won 374 consecutive Employee of the Month awards at the Krusty Krab. In "Friend or Foe", it is shown that SpongeBob, as an infant, made a perfect patty on his first attempt. In "Neptune's Spatula", he is able to pull the Golden Spatula from the grease, making him the "chosen one" of King Neptune. In that same episode, it is shown that the burgers made by Neptune himself are horrible compared to SpongeBob's.

Squidward, the restaurant's only other employee, runs the cashier and takes orders. Squidward is the polar opposite of SpongeBob; he hates his job (as well as the Krusty Krab itself) and performs it poorly. SpongeBob and Squidward's boss, Eugene Krabs, is extremely greedy, selfish and abusive of his employees. He pays them extremely poorly, far below legal minimum wage, and is unhealthily obsessed with money. Despite this, SpongeBob is unquestioning of Mr. Krabs and looks up to him as an authority figure.

While not working, SpongeBob spends much of his time playing with his best friend, Patrick. Like SpongeBob, Patrick is childish, moronic and fun-loving. The two have known each other since early childhood, and are members of the "Best Friends Forever Club". Their usual activities include jellyfishing, bubble blowing, and various others. Their antics are of constant annoyance to their neighbor, Squidward, who has on numerous occasions been put in harm's way as a direct result of their actions. Despite Squidward openly hating SpongeBob and Patrick, they are completely oblivious to this and believe they are his best friends. SpongeBob and Patrick's favorite superheroes are Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy, who they convinced to come out of retirement.

SpongeBob's other best friend is a squirrel from the surface named Sandy Cheeks, who wears a special suit and helmet to survive underwater. SpongeBob first met Sandy when he saw her wrestling a giant clam, which he helped her defeat. Sandy then invited SpongeBob to her home, an airtight terrarium known as the Treedome, and SpongeBob, not knowing what air is, accepts. When he comes to the Treedome and realizes that there is no water, he begins drying up and attempts to survive without water, telling himself that he doesn't need it and that "Water is for quitters!" Eventually, however, he gives in and starts panicking. Eventually, Sandy gives SpongeBob and Patrick bowls of water to wear over their heads, which they typically wear whenever they visit the Treedome.

Unlike Patrick, Sandy is very intelligent, both technologically and practically, but is tolerant of SpongeBob's stupidity and enjoys his company. They enjoy doing extreme sports together, most notably Karate. SpongeBob's skill in karate is shown to vary considerably between episodes; at times, he equals and even outmatches Sandy in skill, while at other times he is incompetent to the point where Sandy can send him flying a considerable distance with a single punch; in "Karate Island", Sandy openly states that her karate skills are better than SpongeBob's by "a country mile." SpongeBob has also, on various occasions, been hinted to have a crush on Sandy (see Sexuality and controversy below).

SpongeBob also attends Mrs. Puff's Boating School, where he is periodically tested for his driver's license. However, he becomes extremely nervous and reckless when behind the wheel of a boat, and has consistently failed his test countless times, often injuring Mrs. Puff and/or damaging the school in the process. According to the episode "Mrs. Puff, You're Fired", SpongeBob has failed the exam 1,258,056 times, and is the only person in the history of the school to ever fail it. In that same episode, Mrs. Puff describes SpongeBob as "unteachable". Despite his inability to drive a boat, SpongeBob has been shown to be able to drive/ride various other things, including a rock, a rocket ship, a sandwich and a submarine.

Although SpongeBob has several friends, and many of the citizens of Bikini Bottom often treat him quite friendly, most, if not all, citizens of Bikini Bottom have been shown to have some degree of dislike for him. In the episode "Gone", it is shown that a holiday called "National No SpongeBob Day" has been started by the citizens of Bikini Bottom. As its name suggests, it is an entire day dedicated to getting away from SpongeBob, where the people leave Bikini Bottom for the day. Even Patrick goes, stating that everyone needs at least one day away from SpongeBob's laughter. In the ceremony, they build a giant wooden effigy of SpongeBob, burn it down, dance on the ashes (though some, like Squidward, are actually shown kicking the ashes). SpongeBob is more honored than insulted by this, as he was the "inspiration" for the holiday.

Spongebob is 23(12 in his debut) if his DOB is correct. Despite the fact that he is 23 living alone, having a job, in love, he seems to be a child. Such as the line "How can you do that to such a child?!!" he never went College and goes to Boating School so he might be a teen as teens are usually called children. The Creator of Spongebob said that he is 54 in Sponge Years.

Like many other cartoon characters, SpongeBob has been shown to have numerous extra-ordinary abilities and attributes over the course of the series. Due to his soft, pliable frame, he is capable of shape shifting, has some degree of invulnerability, being able to absorb certain types of physical impact, shown most notably in the episode "The Bully". In episodes such as "Graveyard Shift", it is shown that he can quickly regenerate parts of his body that are injured or removed. SpongeBob is usually shown to be boneless (sea sponges being invertebrates), but has been shown to have a skeleton in various episodes. Being a sponge, he is also absorbent, and can expand his body by absorbing liquids, as shown in episodes such as "Culture Shock", "Gary Takes a Bath" and "Squirrel Jokes". When he cries, he often re-absorbs his tears. Despite all of these abilities, SpongeBob is shown to be very weak physically; he uses stuffed animals as "weights" in his personal exercise room, and in "Ripped Pants", he struggles to lift a small wooden branch with marshmallows on the ends. His weakness is taken to an extreme in the episode "MuscleBob BuffPants", where he is unable to lift a drinking straw. However, like many aspects of the show, his strength (or lack, thereof) is highly inconsistent between episodes, and he has been shown to have considerable strength on various occasions, most notably in "The Fry Cook Games", where he is revealed to have an immensely muscled body when he fights Patrick.

Despite his general idiocy, SpongeBob has been shown to be extremely talented in many fields. When he puts his mind to a task, he can accomplish almost anything, such as in "SpongeHenge", where he spends ages constructing a circle of stone statues that produce a sound identical to his voice, simply to lure the jellyfish away from him. In "Squilliam Returns", he is able to become a master of fancy dining by removing everything from his mind except "fine dining and breathing". Thanks to his vivid imagination, SpongeBob has in various episodes been shown to be superior to Squidward as an artist, most notably in "Artist Unknown", where he effortlessly produces a perfect rendition of Michelangelo's David. SpongeBob also possesses a vast knowledge of subjects he is interested in, such as jellyfishing, Krabby Patties and their history, and boating (thanks to years of education in boating school). In episodes such as "Ripped Pants", "The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie" and, most notably, "Band Geeks", SpongeBob is shown to possess a fantastic singing voice.

SpongeBob has many relatives, most notably his parents, who appear in several episodes. Unlike SpongeBob, who has the appearance of a kitchen sponge, most of SpongeBob's relatives, while still cartoony, resemble actual sea sponges, being round in shape and brownish in color.

In "SB-129", a robotic descendant of SpongeBob named "SpongeTron" is seen, as well as a primitive ancestor. "Ugh" features a caveman version of SpongeBob known as "SpongeGar". SpongeGar is distinctly different from the primitive sponge seen in "SB-129", being more evolved and closer to his modern counterpart. "Pest of the West" features SpongeBuck SquarePants, an ancestor who saved Dead Eye Gulch in what is now Bikini Bottom from Dead Eye Plankton in 1882.

Squidward Tentacles
Squidward Quincy Tentacles (born October 9, 1977) is Spongebob and Patrick's effete cephalopod neighbor. His species is ambiguous, and has been referred to as both a squid and an octopus by the series' creators. Squidward lives in a house shaped like an Easter Island statue. He works as a cashier at the Krusty Krab, a job he hates. SpongeBob and Patrick consider Squidward their friend, but the feeling is not mutual. Depicted as a narcissist and displaying an unjustified air of superiority, Squidward has a large collection of self portraits and is delusional about his talents, such as playing the clarinet and dancing, though nobody around him considers him to be very good at these talents. The series' animators illustrated Squidward with six tentacles, believing that giving him the eight tentacles of an octopus has made him look too burdened.

Squidward Tentacles' character is presented as that of a rude, cynical, and snobbish artist whose creative style is generally not appreciated by others. He has a sarcastic attitude and sees others as uncivilized fools, while failing to accept his own personal failings. Squidward sees himself as misunderstood and unappreciated, blaming society for his misfortunes. He is annoyingly pretentious in his pursuit of the arts, and is either unwilling or unable to spot raw talent and creativity, even belittling it. He lauds "cultivated taste" and accepted standards. In the episode "Artist Unknown", he insists that his pupil SpongeBob "show his method", even when it's painfully clear that SpongeBob is creating works of artistic genius. In the episode Bubblestand, he belittles SpongeBob's brilliant bubble-blowing.

Squidward is generally portrayed as an overall failure. His musical skills with the clarinet are generally portrayed as subpar, from mediocre to excruciatingly horrible. However, In Best Day Ever", he has a concert where he plays beautifully and receives thunderous applause from the audience. SpongeBob was on the VIP list for it. His overall artistic style is shown to be abstract and overly sophisticated, and his works are commonly panned by his audiences. His critical failure is shown to be more due to his poop taste rather than a genuine lack of talent. It is worth noting that the majority of his art narcissistically centers around himself, apparently holding his very being to be an artistic wonder. In "One Krab's Trash", Squidward is shown bringing flowers to a gravestone reading "Here Lies Squidward's Hopes and Dreams." Despite his lack of success, Squidward is tireless in his pursuit of artistic achievement. In "Dunces and Dragons", Squidly, Squidward's medieval ancestor, vowed that if he couldn't learn to play the clarinet right, his seventh great-grandson would be cursed tenfold. In "Squilliam Returns", Squilliam Fancyson mentions that Squidward was voted "Most Likely to Suck Eggs" in high school.

Outwardly, he in fact shows signs of modest success: he lives in a nice, well-tended house, with no signs of slothfulness, and finds plenty of time to lead an active, involved life.

Squidward is well-educated and knows his history. When at the Krusty Krab, he is a lazy, sloppy, employee( as shown in the Krusty Krab Training Video) who has an intense dislike of the Krusty Krab and its management, however given the managements treatment of the employees his attitude towards the company is more realistic than Spongebobs. In the episode "Squid on Strike", he organizes a worker's strike at the Krusty Krab. He even causes the destruction of the Krusty Krab, although indirectly and accidentally.

In the episode "Squidville", he moves to a town filled with his own peers, other octopi who share his tastes and outlook on life. Here, he is forced to face how boring and oppressive his desired lifestyle really is, and he is able to ultimately break free of its bonds with a bit of inspired silliness.

Even though Squidward has tentacles, he is shown or implied to have fingers, toes and even nails in episodes such as "Once Bitten", "House Fancy", and "Giant Squidward".

In "Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy V," it is implied that Squidward at one point had a girlfriend when he remembered the good times he had at make-out reef.

Squidward Tentacles is a light turquoise color, and has purple suction cups at the end of his tentacles. He has six limbs in total, two being arms and four being legs. Whenever he walks, his suction cups stick to the floor, meaning that he walks with a distinct squelching noise. Squidward has a large bald head (but, in the episode the original fry cook he had long blond hair, which he said would last a life time, but it all fell out in the next second). He also has eight little holes on the top of his big egg-shaped cranium. Also he has a skinny body, big droopy nose, a wide mouth and yellow eyes with rectangle vertical dark red irises and rectangle red pupils. When he laughs, his nose appears to be deflate and inflate repeatedly. He wears a brown short-sleeved shirt, which is sometimes ochre. His color is inconsistent throughout the series. While he is shown to be more blue in earlier episodes, later episodes tend to show him having a lighter and more greenish color.

Squidward works as the cashier at the Krusty Krab restaurant, along with his co-worker, SpongeBob. He hates not only his duties but the Krusty Krab itself, he performs his job rather poorly and with a lack of enthusiasm, and frequently behaves rudely to the customers. He frequently expresses a desire to be fired or simply quit, but never makes good on it; he only seems to work there because he needs the money. In "Just One Bite", he reveals that he has never eaten a Krabby Patty and thinks them to be disgustingly unhealthy, although after having "just one bite", he falls in love with them. In "The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie", Squidward is manager of the Krusty Krab 2 for 6 days, although due to Plankton's invasion of Bikini Bottom, the new restaurant is not in service during this time. Squidward's dream in "Sleepy Time" shows him playing clarinet for a king. In Selling Out, Squidward worked as the waiter for Krabby O'Mondays. He was forced to maintain a false state of happiness, or else face "Human Resources", a thug in the back of the building.

Squidward has also been:
 * The art department, filmmaker, and creator of the "real" Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy Movie's designing technology. -"Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy VI: The Motion Picture"
 * The replacement fry cook at the Krusty Krab on various occasions
 * Captain Magma (a volcano-themed superhero identity) -"Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy V"
 * Orchestra Concert Composer and Clarinet Concert Player
 * Art Lesson Teacher at the rec center
 * Santa Claus

An avid patron of the arts, Squidward has a strong affection for interpretive dance, sculpture, painting, and playing the clarinet, but seems to have almost no talent for any of them whatsoever, although he does play the clarinet beautifully at the end of the Christmas special, and at the end of the "Bubblestand" episode. He has often tried to impress the public with his artistic exhibitions, but is always either unrecognized, mocked by his audience, or upstaged by SpongeBob. Squidward always wants to be the center of attention but rarely ever is. In "Best Day Ever" he had a concert where he played beautifully and received thunderous applause from the audience. SpongeBob was on the VIP list for it, which is ironic, considering Squidward's intense hatred for him.

All of his artwork, from sculptures to paintings, depicts himself in a way, even repainting existing works to include his own face. He surrounds himself with said art throughout his house, a clear indication of his narcissist tendencies. These arts have occasionally been admired greatly by Patrick and SpongeBob, but are universally hated by the rest of Bikini Bottom.

He has tried several things to reach the fame he desires: hosting a talent show, starting his own astrology spin-off, forming a band, and so on, yet he can't seem to get much of a following. Mr. Krabs and Patrick also seem to like him, though it may be argued that Mr. Krabs only likes Squidward because of his allegiance with the Krusty Krab. It is interesting to note that Squidward once stated that "anyone can be a big shot in a hick town like Bikini Bottom", yet he cannot make a name for himself.

Squidward has had many injuries and near death experiences. He is one of the most unfortunate characters, and is in some way hurt in almost every episode he is in. He is shown to be an underdog, a person who can never win. This is frequently caused by Spongebob and Patrick.

In the episode "Jellyfishing", a jellyfish stings Squidward while he is riding his bike, causing him to lose control and ride off a cliff, with an unusual and unexplained explosion as he hits the ground. The incident leaves Squidward in a wheelchair with a full body cast that prevents him from any body movement. Spongebob and Patrick go through with his "Best day ever", oblivious to his condition, and cause even more harm to him.

In "Just One Bite", Squidward consumes almost all of the Krabby Patties inside the Patty Vault, which goes straight to his thighs, causing him to literally explode. He ends up in an ambulance, with his tentacles in a bucket (held on by a medic) and only his head remaining intact.

In "Naughty Nautical Neighbors", Squidward nearly chokes to death on a fork, but is saved by Patrick.

In "The Camping Episode", Squidward gets mauled six times by a sea bear. One vicious attack involves provoking the sea bear (with all the clothing that will attract a sea bear) and then gets attacked. The other was trying to run away (including limping and crawling) from the sea bear, which attacks him even more. The sea bear attacks Squidward again because the sea bear takes an immediate dislike to him. The last time the sea bear attacks is when Squidward tries to draw a protective circle in the dirt, but draws an oval by accident. Even after the sea bear left, the episode ends with a sea rhinoceros about to maul Squidward.

In Dying for Pie, SpongeBob trips over a rock as he is holding an explosive pie. The pie hits Squidward in the face, causing Squidward to explode.

In My Pretty Seahorse, Squidward doesn't watch where he is going, and explodes like in Jellyfishing.

Spongebob and Patrick are constant BFF's to Squidward. Although earlier episodes portray Squidward as simply being grouchy and intolerant, Spongebob and Patrick have progressively become more troublesome and idiotic, making Squidward much more sympathetic and justified in his anger.

Though Squidward hates both SpongeBob and Patrick, his animosity is particularly geared towards SpongeBob himself. When Squidward does express his frustration against him, SpongeBob is usually unable to take no for an answer. Such as in "The Thing" where even after Squidward telling them to go home and him slamming the door in their face they still break into his house and park themselves on his couch, loudly and obnoxiously slurping juice boxes. In the episode "House Fancy", SpongeBob spies on Squidward through his window; when Squidward catches him, he asks, "You want me to get the cops down here again?", indicating that this has happened before. Incidences where SpongeBob and Patrick leave home for a few days are shown to make Squidward genuinely happy, as he will have a few days of peace and quiet while they're gone, and he relishes the thought of SpongeBob moving away: in "Home Sweet Pineapple", he is shown dancing happily and repeatedly chanting "SpongeBob is leaving, he's leaving, he's leaving" on the remains of SpongeBob's pineapple before a new one grows in right on top of him. In "The Camping Episode", he relishes the thought of SpongeBob and Patrick getting permanently lost in the woods; and in "What Ever Happened to SpongeBob?", he is the only one among the main characters who is genuinely happy that the amnesiac SpongeBob has left Bikini Bottom, and only decides to look for him when Mr. Krabs bribes him with a fancy egg, which is ultimately broken when SpongeBob regains his memory and returns to Bikini Bottom. In episodes such as "Funny Pants" and "Choir Boys", the sight of SpongeBob sad and/or depressed actually serves to cheer Squidward up. Often, Squidward's attempts to get away from SpongeBob and/or Patrick get him into trouble, such as being covered head-to-toe in cement and being mistaken for a member of an unknown species in "The Thing", running a stop sign and being forced to go to Mrs. Puff's boating school alongside SpongeBob in "Boating Buddies", and being forced to do a lifetime of community service every Sunday alongside SpongeBob and Patrick after his newly-installed security system goes haywire and destroys most of Bikini Bottom in "Good Neighbors". Patrick has actually noticed that Squidward didn't like them early on, but was corrected by SpongeBob. Even when the two perform acts of kindness for him, such as giving him his Sunday paper in "Good Neighbors," Squidward shows no gratitude or kindness.

Often, Squidward infers SpongeBob's simple-minded comments to be challenges, such as SpongeBob's comment of "Have fun inside" in "The Camping Episode". Proceeding this, he often goes entirely out of his way to prove to SpongeBob that he can win the "challenge", often taking the whole thing too seriously; for example, in "Snowball Effect", SpongeBob and Patrick secretly sneak away from a massive snowball fight between themselves and Squidward after Squidward hit Patrick with his clarinet while throwing an enormous barrage of snowballs. One of Squidward's greatest dreams and desires is to either have hair or to buy a wig. He seems to think he would look good with hair. In "The Original Fry Cook", it is revealed that he once had hair but it fell out, ironically right after he said it would never fall out. Aside from his musical "talents", he enjoys painting several pictures of himself and hanging them up around his house. The artworks shown in Squidward's house vary between episodes.

In the episode "Artist Unknown", SpongeBob signs up for Squidward's art class and proves to be a better artist than Squidward. Eventually, SpongeBob creates an amazing statue that is beyond Squidward's capabilities as an artist. However, Squidward degrades SpongeBob's art and claims it is missing a very important element (a large nose similar to Squidward's), yet an art critic later points out that the nose is the only flaw. His sneaky attempts to undermine SpongeBob's confidence prove to be his own undoing, as SpongeBob refuses to do anything outside of the art rule book because of Squidward's lessons.

In the episode "Squid's Day Off", Squidward assigns SpongeBob to man the cash register when Mr. Krabs is at the hospital getting his arms reattached. Meanwhile, Squidward leaves the Krusty Krab for a day of relaxation, but he foolishly had SpongeBob convinced that he was doing "very important errands."

Although Squidward openly despises SpongeBob and Patrick with a passion, they view him as a very close friend and cannot be convinced otherwise, even during some of his hostile actions towards them, such as chasing them down with a bulldozer in "Opposite Day", rubbing it in SpongeBob's face that Santa didn't come in "Christmas Who?", ridiculing SpongeBob's tan in "Sun Bleached", stating that his wish for Mr. Krabs' wishing well was that SpongeBob and Patrick were stuck in a dark hole and away from him in "Wishing You Well", literally kicking SpongeBob out of his house when he attempted to warn him of an invading biker gang in "Born to Be Wild", and referring to SpongeBob as "the bane of his existence" in "Boating Buddies" when SpongeBob is sitting right next to him. SpongeBob fails to realize the clearly obvious fact that Squidward hates him, even after Squidward openly said "I hate you" to his face in "Graveyard Shift".

In "Breath of Fresh Squidward", Squidward set up an electric fence in an attempt to keep SpongeBob and Patrick from sneaking into his bedroom every single morning to watch the sunrise, but ended up getting electrocuted in it and becoming a much happier and goofier person, as well as becoming more annoying than SpongeBob and Patrick combined. In the end, he was turned back to normal after a second electrocution, and SpongeBob and Patrick were also shocked, becoming angry and mean, just like him. SpongeBob and Patrick always encourage Squidward to participate in their games, but this only annoys him. In particular, SpongeBob and Patrick often ask him to go jellyfishing with them. In "SB-129", while he was trying to avoid SpongeBob and Patrick, Squidward locks himself in the Krusty Krab's freezer Krab's freezer and is revived 2000 years in the future by a robotic descendant of Spongebob. Squidward then attempts to return home using a time machine, but accidentally winds up in prehistoric times, where he meets primitive ancestors of Spongebob and Patrick. While here, Squidward inadvertently invents jellyfishing. While seemingly the eternal pessimist, he occasionally tries to be like SpongeBob (often with hopes that doing so well stopped SpongeBob from bugging him), but does not ever get the hang of it. In "The Paper", however, he finds himself putting a piece of paper on his nose and dancing a jig in insanity. When SpongeBob isn't looking, Squidward will start to act more like SpongeBob from time to time, especially in the earlier episodes like "Bubblestand" and "The Paper". Squidward's voice reveals a lot about his personality and attitude, much like SpongeBob's voice. In the episode, "Selling Out", he is forced to keep a smile glued to his face by the manager of Krabby O' Mondays, which creates an interesting effect, as Squidward hardly ever smiles while showing his teeth.In fact, he also shows a hypocritism to SpongeBob and Patrick's entertainment like in the episode Snowball Effects, When he said that snowball fights are for immature children, in the end he become over-obsessed with it.

Despite the fact that he often shows little more than animosity towards him, in many episodes Squidward shows feelings of sympathy and outright compassion towards SpongeBob, even concern for his well being, possibly meaning that he does indeed like him deep down. In "Graveyard Shift", when the two believe that the Hash-Slinging Slasher is about to kill them, he says to SpongeBob, "No matter what I've said, I've always sort of liked you". in "Dying for Pie", after thinking he allowed SpongeBob to eat a pie-shaped bomb, he felt truly guilty about it and spent the day playing many of SpongeBob's childish games in order to make SpongeBob's "final" hours the best of his life. In "Fools in April", in an attempt to apologize to SpongeBob for his cruel April Fool's Day prank in that same episode, he says "I like you…and everybody else I'm forced to be in contact with". in "Squidville", Squidward moves to Tentacle Acres after SpongeBob and Patrick accidentally blow up his house, and, after several weeks of the same routine, he gets tired of it, and it is implied that he could not really enjoy himself without them around to keep life interesting. In "Pizza Delivery", he saves SpongeBob from being hit by a truck, and angrily force-feeds their customer his pizza after he refuses to pay for it and gets unnecessarily mad at SpongeBob for forgetting a drink that he never even ordered.

When Squidward is very happy, he does tend to treat SpongeBob and Patrick like they are his friends.

Squidward lives in a house resembling an Easter Island moai, placed between SpongeBob and Patrick's houses at 122 Conch Street. It has been personified several times, such as in the episode "The Secret Box", where it seems to be peeking at SpongeBob and Patrick's talk. Despite Squidward's wish for peace and quiet, his two neighbors, SpongeBob and Patrick, make it nearly impossible, due to their high level of childish immaturity and silliness. If Squidward had the choice, he would move. He did in "Squidville", but ultimately decided that he had moved somewhere even worse. In "Opposite Day", Squidward tried to move, but SpongeBob and Patrick caused the real estate agent who was originally trying to sell Squidward's house to angrily leave, so Squidward had to stay. He also moved in "Stanley S. SquarePants". Squidward does not live alone; Snellie, his snail from "The Great Snail Race", is in residence with him.

In the episode "Squidville", after Squidward's house is destroyed by SpongeBob and Patrick, he sees an advertisement on TV about a town called "Tentacle Acres", home of many octopi who are virtually identical to Squidward, even living in Easter Island Heads. He decides to move there, and for a while life is spectacular, as he finds a large community of like-minded octopi into which he fits perfectly. Eventually, though, he starts to tire of the boring daily routine in which he does the same things every day. He begins to wreak havoc throughout the overly structured civilization of Tentacle Acres with a reef blower, and an angry mob is formed against him, who corner him in an alley and force him to escape by launching himself into the sky with his reef blower, maniacally yelling "Freedom!"

Squidward's archrival is Squilliam Fancyson, who he first met in high school band class, who, like all other octopi on the show, looks and acts similar to Squidward, but wears a robe and has a unibrow. Unlike Squidward, however, Squilliam is extremely successful in everything that Squidward has failed in, and is living Squidward's dream of being a wealthy celebrity artist with crowds of adoring fans. Usually with many admirers following his presence. In Squiliam's debut episode. "Band Geeks", he calls Squidward at his home to once again rub his success in his face, saying that his band is signed to play at the Bubble Bowl but can't come, and sarcastically asking Squidward for his "band" to cover for them. Squidward, caught in the moment, claims that he does have a band and will play at the Bubble Bowl, forcing him to hastily put together a band from the residents of Bikini Bottom. Thanks to Spongebob, their performance turns out to be much better than Squilliam could have ever expected, causing him to have a heart attack.

Squilliam returns in the aptly named episode "Squilliam Returns", in which Squidward meets Squilliam and a crowd of his fans. Squilliam tries to embarrass Squidward by showing the crowd his lowly position as a cashier, but Squidward claims to own a five-star restaurant, and Squilliam agrees to take the group to dinner there, expecting this claim to be exposed as a lie. Squidward's attempts at converting the Krusty Krab into a five-star restaurant are initially unsuccessful, until he gets Spongebob to clear his mind of everything "except fine dining and breathing". Spongebob is able to turn the Krusty Krab into an extremely extravagant and fancy diner. Everything goes well until Squilliam, who is admittedly impressed, asks his waiter (Spongebob) his name. Spongebob, having erased everything else from his mind, forgets his own name and subsequently everything else, going insane and destroying the "fancy restaurant" environment, with the help of Mr. Krabs' "appetizer" coming to life.

Squidward has a considerable antagonistic side, frequently taking advantage of the situation to stop Spongebob from tormenting him:


 * In "Fools in April", Squidward gets annoyed with SpongeBob pulling playful and harmless pranks on people at the Krusty Krab, and pulls a very cruel and harmful prank on SpongeBob in retaliation. Things blow up in Squidward's face when SpongeBob runs out of the restaurant sobbing hysterically, and the Bikini Bottomites turn on him. Squidward tries to apologize, but he is physically unable to apologize until the very end of the episode, where Spongebob has the last laugh: all his friends were standing behind him in his house and witnessed Squidward's apology. As a result, Squidward suffers a mental breakdown and runs off back to his house laughing maniacally after shouting that he had just fooled them as well.
 * In "Can You Spare a Dime?", Squidward accepts SpongeBob's offer to live in his house until he finds a new job. However, he takes advantage of SpongeBob's hospitality by by laying in bed all day and essentially making Spongebob his domestic slave, staying so long that the Narrator quits and not even attempting to find a job. This eventually proves too much for SpongeBob who for one of the few times in the series becomes angry with Squidward, who soon begins aggressively giving Squidward obvious hints to get a job, which Squidward either doesn't notice or chooses to ignore. Eventually, SpongeBob confronts Mr. Krabs in an attempt to force him to give Squidward his job back, and in the process accidentally reveals that Mr. Krab's first "dime" (a stone-age wheel) was in his pants the whole time, and that Squidward did not steal it.
 * In "Squidward, the Unfriendly Ghost", when SpongeBob and Patrick believe they have killed Squidward and that he is now a ghost, he takes advantage of this by making them his slaves. Eventually, SpongeBob and Patrick, after reading a magazine about the Flying Dutchman's death, get the idea that Squidward is being mean and angry because he was never put to rest. SpongeBob and Patrick attempt to bury Squidward, which ultimately brings him to confess that he is actually alive. However, SpongeBob and Patrick still think that Squidward is a ghost in denial and send him to the "great beyond" by trapping him in a bubble, which floats up into the sky where the pelicans are.
 * In "Grandma's Kisses" Squidward and the customers at the Krusty Krab ruthlessly tease SpongeBob for having a kiss on his forehead given by his grandma. At the end of the episode, it is shown that they have been spying on Spongebob with his grandma through her house's window.
 * In "Employee of the Month", SpongeBob and Squidward viciously compete with each other for the employee of the month award, both of them trapping each other in hopes of getting to work first.
 * In "The Splinter", Squidward tells SpongeBob that Mr. Krabs will have to kick him out for getting a splinter at work.
 * In "I ♥ Dancing", Squidward gets jealous that SpongeBob has an audition in a musical, and "teaches" him how to dance in order to steal the spot for himself, training Spongebob to the point of exhaustion. While he wins, he is going to star in Squilliam's musical, and is forced to train to perform a dance that SpongeBob had performed earlier, with Squilliam clearly planning to run him ragged just as Squidward had done to SpongeBob.

Squilliam Fancyson
Squilliam Fancyson III (born October 1977) is Squidward's' arch-rival who he met in high school band class. He appears in the episodes "Band Geeks", "Squilliam Returns, "House Fancy", "Professor Squidward", "I Heart Dancing", and "Keep Bikini Bottom Beautiful". He is a very wealthy, snooty, unibrow-endowed squid who has succeeded in everything Squidward has failed in and thus looks down upon him. Squidward is painfully jealous and constantly attempts to show Squilliam he is not a loser, with varying results. Like other squid/octopus characters, Squilliam's character model is nearly identical to Squidward, but he has a unibrow and he wears a fancy maroon robe. He owns a private yacht, a private lake, a private heliport, a private island, and a balloon/casino. He owns a fancy house which made an apperance in the TV show House Fancy. Squilliam's name is a combination of the name "William" and "squid", much like Squidward's name being a combination of "Edward" and "squid". Squilliam is voiced by Dee Bradley Baker.

Squilliam's first appearance was in "Band Geeks", where he challenged Squidward to play his band at the Bubble Bowl, as his own band could not make it. However, at the end of the episode, Squilliam arrives at the Bubble Bowl anyway to watch Squidward fail (which may imply that he was just setting up Squidward to make a fool of himself), but upon seeing the band's surprisingly good performance, Squilliam has a heart attack and is rushed to the hospital.

Squilliam returns in the aptly named episode "Squilliam Returns", where Squidward tells him that he is the owner of a five-star restaurant.

Although Squilliam is initially impressed by SpongeBob's newfound fine dining expertise, Squidward is ultimately humiliated when SpongeBob cannot remember his own name and goes insane.

In "House Fancy", Squilliam's ridiculously luxurious house is featured on the TV show of the same name. The house features, among other things, a golden toilet, an elevator with a built-in hot tub, and a massive sculpture of his unibrow made entirely out of gilded doorknobs. Squidward's jealousy once again gets the better of him when he calls the show's host, Nicholas Whithers, saying that his house is better than Squilliam's. Although Squidward's house is destroyed as a result of his attempts to make it fancier, Whithers sees his destroyed house as a work of art and proclaims it to be better than Squilliam's. Squilliam breaks down as he is once again upstaged by Squidward.

In "Professor Squidward", he is shown to teach music at Bikini Bottom University. When Squilliam is absent, Squidward claims to be him so that he can teach the class himself. Squilliam also appears at the end of "I Heart Dancing", where, after Squidward is given the part of a line dancer for Squilliam, he begins to abusively train him in the same manner that Squidward did to SpongeBob.

Squilliam is a rich, fancy prissy octopus with a unibrow. He acts more mature then Squidward, but makes no secret of the fact that he considers himself superior to others due to his enormous wealth. Despite his selfish personality, he somehow makes friends easily (probably for letting people in his private jet, yacht, airship/casino, etc). He is a mean, selfish, and arrogant octopus who takes great pleasure in asserting his perceived superiority over middle-class citizens like his archrival Squidward. He also speaks in a very mocking tone, placing great emphasis on his low regard for Squidward and an equally large amount of inflated praise in his lavish lifestyle.

Like Squidward, Squilliam is a narcissist. He considers himself (and his "big and valuable" unibrow) to be undeniably handsome.

Squilliam is a tall octopus with six tentacles (similar to Squidward). He wears a red and black gown with a unibrow on his forehead.

Squillam Fancyson has a large black unibrow on his forehead. He has had it in every episode. In Band Geeks, he shows pride in it when he calls it "big and valuable". In Professor Squidward, his unibrow is how the police told him apart from Squidward Tentacles. In the episode House Fancy, Squillam had a large replica of his unibrow that was made of 500 solid gold painted doorknobs. In Back to the Past, his face was made of armor.
