Eugene H. Krabs

Eugene Harold Krabs, simply and commonly known as Mr. Krabs, sometimes called Krabs by Plankton and frequently called Eugene, is a crimson red sea crab who is the owner, manager, and founder of the Krusty Krab as well as the employer of both Joey Greypaws and Squidward Tentacles. He is extremely greedy and quite literally obsessed with money. He will freak out if anything happens to his money. He treats money as if it was royalty in some aspects. Mr. Krabs is mostly respected by Joey (maybe as a fatherly figure to him), while Squidward tends to loathe him. The series exaggerates Mr. Krabs' greed with him often anthropomorphizing money, along with SpongeBob. He will do almost everything to obtain money or not lose it no matter how small the amount, usually with no regard to the safety or well-being of others or even himself. His nemesis and business rival is Sheldon J. Plankton, who was his best friend in their childhood, but now constantly attempts to steal the Krabby Patty Secret Formula. Mr. Krabs has a daughter, a sperm whale, named Pearl. He has the fourth most appearances in the SpongeBob and Joey series with 240, following Kirby, Squidward and Joey, who appears in all the episodes of the Joey series.

Description.

Mr. Krabs is short, red, portly, and has very tall eyestalks, a crinkled nose, large claws, and very short pointed legs. His vertebrae are also visible on the back of his neck. He wears a blue shirt and slackers with a black belt. A sailor or pirate ship often correlates with Krabs. Many times when he appears on-screen, sailor's music is playing. Sometimes he does not have a shell in "Shell of a Man" and "Company Picnic".

Personality.

As stated above, Mr. Krabs is extremely greedy and miserly, often being portrayed as being just as bad as; if not even worse than, Plankton. His only interest is to have money, and he could not care less for anybody, including his customers, employees, family or even himself. He frequently associates his customers and products with money, with lines such as "That's me money walking out the door!" or "The money is always right." It should be noted that, while Mr. Krabs portrayal shows him 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. His money hunger may stem from his childhood poverty. When Joey uses the term, obsession, to describe his relationship with money during "Plankton's Good Eye," he denies it and claims it to be a strong word.
