Creation and evolution
When Stephen Hillenburg created the main characters of the evidence, he wanted each one to exist a different fauna. He had already designed Pearl as a whale, so he decided to make her father a small crab; Stephen Hillenburg thought their contrasting sizes would brand for a funny dynamic.[commendation needed] Clancy Brown, the voice of Mr. Krabs, has besides said there is "something touchingly metaphorical in the idea of a parent-child relationship being analogous to the difference between a crab and a whale."[7]
Mr. Krabs is the only graphic symbol in SpongeBob initially based on a specific person from Hillenburg's life.[8] When he designed Mr. Krabs, Hillenburg drew inspiration from his former managing director at a seafood eating house. Co-ordinate to Hillenburg, his manager was redheaded, muscular, and a onetime ground forces cook; these iii traits were adapted into Krabs' character, with Krabs' crimson colour continuing in for hair. Krabs' speaking fashion was also inspired by the eating house owner, who reminded Hillenburg of a pirate with his stiff Maine accent. Withal, the owner was not greedy, with this particular added by Hillenburg to "give him more than personality."[eight]
When Stephen Hillenburg start created Mr. Krabs, his and Pearl's surname was spelled with a C rather than a K. Thus, the name of Krabs' eatery was the "Crusty Crab." Hillenburg changed the name shortly before production began on the bear witness's pilot episode, deciding that Thousand'due south were funnier and more memorable.[citation needed] The decision to have Mr. Krabs and Pearl alive in an anchor was fabricated after production on the first flavour had started. The original map of the testify'due south setting, which Hillenburg showed Nickelodeon executives as function of his pitch to the network in 1997, did not include an anchor house and instead labeled the Krusty Krab as both of the characters' residence.[citation needed]
In most cases, Mr. Krabs has a singled-out manner of walking; when he moves, he moves his anxiety very quickly and he is drawn as if he has more than two legs. When directing animation for early episodes, one of Stephen Hillenburg's goals was for each character to have a separate walk wheel that showed their personalities; storyboard artist Erik Wiese designed Krabs' walk bike with the intention of making it cartoonish. Wiese recalled in 2012, "I animated Mr. Krabs' lilliputian anxiety on a 4-frame multi-mistiness cycle—I retrieve it was the best solution to making him walk like a crab." Stephen Hillenburg canonical of the walk afterwards Wiese demonstrated it on a pencil exam car.[9]
Voice
Mr. Krabs' voice usually is provided by role player Clancy Brown. Brown describes the voice he uses for the character equally "piratey," with "a little Scottish brogue." Co-ordinate to Brown, Krabs' phonation was improvised during his audition and it was not challenging for him to find the correct vocalization. Dark-brown is fond of playing the role, having told the New York Post in 2015, "I wouldn't mind doing [the voice] until the end of fourth dimension. There's merely no corollary in live-activeness work—television or films or anything—to playing a miserly crab on the bottom of the bounding main."[10] Brown has defended Mr. Krabs equally a grapheme, proverb he is "not a bad guy, just like your local broker or businessman. He loves Pearl too!"[xi]
In a 2005 interview with the magazine Starlog, Chocolate-brown described his work on SpongeBob equally a "whole other career" compared to his live-action roles.[12] Brown's other acting projects have brought some invitee actors onto SpongeBob SquarePants, including Dennis Quaid, whose work with Brown on The Limited: The Ernie Davis Story led to his option as a invitee star for the episode "Grandpappy the Pirate."
Description
Mr. Krabs is curt, red, and portly with tall eyestalks, a crinkled red-brownish nose, large claws, and short, pointy legs. Spikes on his trounce are as well visible on the back of his neck. He wears a calorie-free blue shirt and purple pants with a black belt. A sailor or pirate ship oftentimes correlates with Mr. Krabs. Many times when he appears on-screen, sea-shanty sailor music is playing.
Sometimes he does non have his crush on such equally in "Shell of a Homo," "Shell Shocked," and "Company Picnic." In this state, Mr. Krabs is commonly pinkish and fleshy with visible vasculature all over his body, and may or may non have his nose.
Biography
Eugene H. Krabs was born on November 30, 1942 to Victor and Betsy Krabs. Presumably, before or after his nascence his parents had a daughter, making him either an older or younger brother.[xiii]
When he was less than three years quondam, he went to a Nursery. Here, he met Sheldon J. Plankton, who was built-in on the same 24-hour interval as him.[fourteen]
When Mr. Krabs was very young, he was put in the custody of his paternal grandfather, Redbeard Krabs, who was a pirate. Mr. Krabs learned how to exist a pirate during this time.[15]
When Mr. Krabs was five years old, he got a dollar from his begetter. He loved that dollar a lot, but he eventually had to spend it to purchase a soda on a hot day.[16]
He attended Poseidon Elementary Schoolhouse. During his time hither, he was cruelly considered an outcast by other kids, particularly a circle led by a mean young boy named Incidental K1 due to beingness poor, leaving him in an only close friendship with Plankton.[fourteen]
Afterward being humiliated by the class bullies, Plankton and Mr. Krabs wanted revenge. When Plankton and Mr. Krabs were planning information technology, they went to the carnival and Mr. Krabs plant a penny. He thought it was the most beautiful thing that he had ever seen. He and then asked Plankton what information technology was. Plankton explained that it was coin and that he could buy things with it. Mr. Krabs and then spends the penny on balloons for Plankton.[14] This began Mr. Krabs' lifelong obsession with coin and wealth.
Ane of the popular eateries of the fourth dimension was Stinky Burgers. One day, Mr. Krabs and Plankton tried to get some burgers, but the owner, Stinky, told them that they could not consume at the restaurant, interim out of favor of the shallow Billy and his gang who were his customers that mean solar day. Later, Mr. Krabs and Plankton went to the back of the building. Stinky told them that he did non desire them at that place because they would drive away his customers. When Stinky's shift was over, he collection off in a limousine, accidentally leaving a dollar behind. Plankton realized that starting a fast food eating house had the potential to become the kids to like and respect the two, while Mr. Krabs was focused on the money office. Mr. Krabs was worried that they did not have the skill to make the patties. Plankton was not worried about that since they had science.[14]
Soon, they institute an quondam trailer in The Dump and, using science, created a great-looking burger. They were going to rub information technology in the face of the other kids, only Stinky Burgers was shut downwardly. They tested the burger on Onetime Man Jenkins, who was a family unit friend of Mr. Krabs. The burger was succulent, just it knocked out Onetime Human Jenkins. The newspaper the next day said that the burger poisoned the erstwhile man. Mr. Krabs and Plankton then fought and eventually the 2 were fighting over the recipe. The force of the 2 sides pulling caused Mr. Krabs to go towards the wall and Plankton to get out the door. Mr. Krabs got most of the recipe and Plankton got only one function, which was but the corner, reading "...and a compression of chum." When Mr. Krabs striking the wall, he caused several different ingredients to fall in the cauldron of patty batter, which fabricated the burger adept.[14]
Soon after, Mr. Krabs and Plankton went back to schoolhouse. Plankton had created a chum-based patty, which was the ingredient that he got. Mr. Krabs showed off his Krabby Patties. It was decided that the fashion that they would determine whose was amend was by having the other kids endeavor them. Mr. Krabs won. Plankton then vowed to steal the formula from that solar day forward.[14]
Somehow, most likely through the Krabby Patties' success and/or the war that occurred during Mr. Krabs' babyhood,[17] Betsy was able to purchase a business firm and requite Mr. Krabs proper apparel.
Mr. Krabs became quite expert with money, fifty-fifty able to scam a vending machine to go a soda.[17]
At some betoken, Mr. Krabs worked on the Due south.Due south. Diarrhea equally head chef and S.S. Gourmet equally a bathroom attendant.[18]
In the early 1960s, Mr. Krabs joined the Navy. Krabs earned the nickname "Armor Abs Krabs," due to being the manliest of the coiffure. His shipmates were Torpedo Abdomen, Mutton Chop, Fe Eye, and Lockjaw Jones. Krabs was patently also an officer in the navy, for he was a "naval cadet."
During this time, Mr. Krabs' cooking skill improved, and towards the end of his career equally a Naval officer, he found himself on a Naval cargo ship, which was carrying suntan balm. The crew loved his cooking, simply Mr. Krabs' superior, Helm Scarfish, did not like that they were not having slop. One solar day, the cargo ship was invaded by pirates. Mr. Krabs, forth with Captain Scarfish and the SpongeBob guard, captured the pirates. Mr. Krabs then freed the pirate leader, the pirate queen, and joined her as a pirate.[19]
Somewhen, using the grooming that his grandad gave him as a child, he managed to become helm of his own ship, which he called, "the Krusty Krab."[15] He eventually faced the abominable snowfall mollusk, a fearsome beast of the high seas. He and his crew were devoured by the creature and forced to await "for nature to have its course" to escape the brute'southward stomach.[20]
Eventually, Mr. Krabs and his crew were not doing so well (namely the fact that he had to share the profits with the coiffure), and Mr. Krabs had to give up his coiffure and sell his ship. Information technology was also the seemingly concluding time he met his grandfather, who told him to carry on the Krabs pirate tradition and to never tell a prevarication. Mr. Krabs didn't have the centre to tell him he retired.[15]
Following the war, he retired from the naval business and stayed secluded in his domicile, struggling with a deep depression that seemed endless. But his luck turned for the improve once he came out of it.[17]
With the little coin he had, he bought a local broke retirement abode, "The Rusty Krab," which he decided to turn into a restaurant, calculation a K to "Rusty," thus naming it the Krusty Krab[17] after his pirate ship. He decided to go into business, serving his Krabby Patties. the Krusty Krab was extremely successful from the beginning and has stood for years every bit Bikini Bottom's premiere daytime eatery.
In the early days of the Krusty Krab, Mr. Krabs was not that successful due to his own rusty cooking skills.[21]
Eventually, he hired Jim.
At some point during the before days of the Krusty Krab, Plankton opened a eatery called, "Chum Bucket" across the street from the Krusty Krab. All the same, information technology was shortly bankrupted by the success of the Krusty Krab and it was destroyed.
Afterwards Pearl'due south nascency, Krabs worked in the Camp Coral equally a chef and there he met for the outset time an happy young sponge named SpongeBob SquarePants that told him that he should open a restaurant someday. A twelvemonth later, he became director of the camp and rename information technology to Kamp Koral.[22]
At some point, he as well hired Squidward Tentacles. During this catamenia of time, the Krusty Krab became very successful due to Jim'southward infrequent fry cooking skills. Ane twenty-four hours, Jim quit his job because he felt that he wasn't being paid enough.[23]
Later Jim left, Mr. Krabs hired another fry cook.[24]
Eventually, the other fry cook quit also, once again leaving the eating place without a fry cook.
Information technology was after this that Squidward's neighbor, SpongeBob SquarePants applied for a chore at the Krusty Krab. At commencement, Mr. Krabs was reluctant to rent SpongeBob since he "didn't even have his sea legs." To get rid of SpongeBob, Mr. Krabs asked SpongeBob to become a ridiculously specific item and to not come back until he got it. After SpongeBob left, dozens of hungry anchovies flooded the eatery. Earlier long, SpongeBob arrived back with the spatula (to the atheism of Mr. Krabs and Squidward) and after proving his competence every bit fry cook, Mr. Krabs gave SpongeBob the job.[3]
Some time before Mr. Krabs hired SpongeBob every bit the fry melt, Plankton returned with a new Chum Bucket.[21]
Plankton, at present a mad scientist and technological scientific genius, constantly attempts to steal the Krabby Patty hole-and-corner formula as he vowed to do all those years ago, frequently using his various robots and other creations. Occasionally, Plankton uses other tactics besides stealing the formula in order to hinder Krabs and attract customers to him. Still, all of Plankton'south schemes are doomed to fail and are constantly thwarted past Krabs, with assist from SpongeBob, Patrick, and other allies. On multiple occasions, Plankton states that he has never had a unmarried customer.
In The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie, Mr. Krabs opens the Krusty Krab two right next door to the original Krusty Krab. He chooses Squidward to manage the restaurant, much to SpongeBob's dismay. Still, after SpongeBob saves Bikini Bottom and Krabs' life, he is appointed the new manager of the Krusty Krab 2.
Career
Before he established the restaurant, he tried to open a business organization along with his former all-time friend, Plankton. Their first client was One-time Human being Jenkins, which their burger poisoned. Plankton and Krabs blamed each other and fought over the recipe, resulting in ingredients dropped into the meat, which became the Krabby Patty. At the end, Plankton only got one ingredient: Chum.[14]
Krabs was a Navy cadet for some time and retired to running a business concern again. He bought a retirement home named the Rusty Krab and made it into the Krusty Krab eatery nosotros see today. Currently, he has ii employees: one loyal and hardworking and the other who does not care virtually his job and sleeps during his shifts. Occasionally, he would accept extra employees to boost his success, oftentimes existence better off without them in the stop. Less often, he works for someone else or had another business.
In some episodes such as "Culture Shock" and "Squirrel Jokes," he provided amusement to the customers.
Other businesses that he owned include the Pretty Patties restaurant and the Kuddly Krab, which were not successful in the end. Krabs also endemic a hotel, until it crashed.
In "The Krabby Kronicle," he was the editor-in-primary of the newspaper that he used to advertise the Krusty Krab.
During "Squilliam Returns," he served as the chef for the "v-star restaurant" that Squidward "owned." He looked for a job when he was looking for something to practice which led him to get the dishwasher in "Selling Out."
Businesses owned
Some restaurants or businesses that he owned were a reformed version of the original Krusty Krab, a separate store, or a unlike idea. Some changes of the Krusty Krab turned the restaurant into others similar the Kuddly Krab, 5 Star Krusty Krab, Krabby O'Monday's, and The Krusty Sponge. Separate restaurants include the Pretty Patties Store and Krusty Krab ii. New ideas were made such as hotels like the Krusty Towers.
Rivalry
- The Chum Bucket - The Chum Bucket, owned by Krabs' one-time best friend Sheldon Plankton has been the main rivalry of the Krusty Krab for nearly the entire series, and Plankton continues to endeavor to steal the recipe for Krabby Patties, but nearly e'er fails by the stop of the episode. Notwithstanding, occasionally he has had customers in his restaurant, merely to lose them in the end. Krabs' rivalry with Plankton has never been lost, but most of the fourth dimension it has been gained.
- The Body of water Chicken Shack - The Bounding main Chicken Shack was a eating house that claimed to be "The all-time restaurant in the sea," which angered Mr. Krabs. SpongeBob then went to investigate, only to detect out that information technology was a complete disaster, and that the but reason it had whatever service was due to a statue of the mascot, Mr. Sea Craven, which kids played on.
- The Kelpshake - The Kelp Milk shake eating place was a very popular eating house that made no customers club any drinks from the Krusty Krab. Therefore, Mr. Krabs teams up with Plankton to steal the recipe for it. However, Plankton sustains many injuries, so; instead, Mr. Krabs was "forced" to gild one. However, both Krabs and Plankton end upwards drinking information technology, merely to find out that the shakes were toxic causing the person who drank it to grow green fur all over their body.
- The Flabby Patty Shack - The Flabby Patty Shack was a restaurant that served burgers much like Krabby Patties in which everyone preferred over. Therefore, he and Plankton teamed up to steal the secret formula. They finally become it, only to find out it is a recipe for friendship. SpongeBob then explained that he created the Flabby Patty Shack to get them to work together.
Personality
Mr. Krabs is extremely greedy, cheap, miserly, stingy, money-hungry, and sometimes hypocritical. He is sometimes portrayed as being even simply as bad, if not worse, than Plankton. His main interest is to have money, and his greed is oft shown to be so bad that it causes him to make stupid decisions, mistakes and/or immoral deportment, and put money above his customers, his employees and his family, their lives, or fifty-fifty his own life. He treats money as if it'due south royalty in some aspects. He frequently associates his customers and products with money, with lines such every bit "That'southward me money walking out the door!" or "The money is always right." As well, whenever SpongeBob or anyone else does something he doesn't like, he oftentimes says "This is coming out of your paycheck." It should be noted that, while Mr. Krabs' portrayal shows him as being obsessed with coin and wealth to the bespeak of anthropomorphizing information technology from the beginning, it was usually washed for the sake of humor, only he became more than miserly, cheap, and immoral as the serial progressed, up to the ninth season. When SpongeBob uses the term "obsession" to describe his relationship with money and wealth during "Plankton's Good Center," he denies information technology and claims it to be a strong give-and-take. He and so puts his money to bed.
He is prone to fits of insanity if he has to surrender as much as a penny. He 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 Mean solar day Off," he loses both arms and suffers a severe caput injury while attempting to pull a dime out of the sink. "Krab Borg" reveals that Mr. Krabs always remembers the price for everything he has bought, which proves his greed has a strong retention. In "Born Once more Krabs," he sells SpongeBob's soul to the Flying Dutchman for 62 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 serve a contaminated patty that he plant 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 concern. He also tries to rip somebody'southward arm off for a penny saying "Unhand that penny or the arm comes off." Twice, he has been shown to have little respect for the dead, most notably in "One Krabs Trash," where he defiles a grave to obtain a rare potable hat to obtain a 1000000 dollars. Additionally, he has little respect for royalty. In "Rule of Impaired," when Patrick is believed to be the king of Bikini Bottom, Krabs allows him to eat at the Krusty Krab in the hopes of getting more than coin. Krabs promptly kicks Patrick out when he discovers that he never intended to pay at all, shouting, "No one eats at my restaurant for free, king or no king!" In "The Clash of Triton," he fails to have Krabby Patties away from Male monarch Neptune when ordered to do so and is promptly electrocuted when he asked who was to pay for them all. Also in The SpongeBob SquarePants Motion-picture show, he raises the toll of a Krabby Patty to $101.99 when he finds out King Neptune is coming to the restaurant. He has also risen the price of food in "Truth or Square" in which it was the 117th ceremony of the Krusty Krab and adds an actress zero at the stop of every cost on the carte du jour in hopes of getting more than money. Mr. Krabs has even admitted his cheap nature before, such as in "Squirrel Jokes," showing that he has some awareness of it. There take been at least two occasions where SpongeBob has burst into the Krusty Krab to warn him about an oncoming disaster, but for him to think of it equally an opportunity to try to serve his customers Krabby Patties. The first endeavor was to an oncoming biker gang in "Born to Be Wild." The second was in "Whelk Assault" when he tried serving Krabby Patties to giant whelks when SpongeBob describes them equally ravenously eating everything in their paths, he continues to effort to button his products, despite them obviously beingness vicious wild monsters and he was promptly eaten.
His treatment of his employees is just as bad while inconsistent throughout the series; SpongeBob and Squidward'southward wages are always stated to exist extremely depression, far beneath minimum legal wage as shown in "Squid on Strike." Still, in "Dying For Pie" Squidward states that Mr. Krabs pays him minimum wage. In "Bummer Vacation," SpongeBob comments that nickel is "more than than [he makes] in a year." In "Big Pinkish Loser," SpongeBob implies that instead of being paid, he actually has to pay his boss. He is also shown to abuse his employees, most notably in "Fright of a Krabby Patty," in which he forces them to work nonstop 24 hours a day, seven days a week without rest for more than than 40 days. In "Squid on Strike," Mr. Krabs gives SpongeBob and Squidward bills instead of checks on payday, which charge them for whatever non-work-related activity, including standing, breathing, and even existing. SpongeBob even reveals in "One Coarse Meal" that Mr. Krabs actually pays him in play money. His prophylactic measures and maintenance of the restaurant are extremely poor, if not nonexistent, frequently resorting to improvised and evidently inadequate measures to avoid paying for actual insurance and repairs. In "Pickles," he takes money out of SpongeBob's paycheck for one small mistake (Chimera Bass hit the pickles under his tongue to make it look like there were no pickles). In multiple episodes, Mr. Krabs takes reward of the situation in guild to make money, simply to have it backlash later on. For example, in "The Krusty Sponge," later a food critic gives the Krusty Krab a good review considering 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." All the same, "Spongy Patties" give all the customers food poisoning, and one of the customers, who happens to be a cop, arrests Krabs. "Money Talks" reveals that Krabs has sold his soul multiple times to various evil spirits and demons, including the Flying Dutchman and even SpongeBob because "he was five bucks brusque on payday." In "Drive Thru," he turns a pigsty in the wall into a drive-thru. SpongeBob bought several things, including a menu, a microphone, and a low-cal-upwardly arrow. Nonetheless, Krabs turned it down as he already made a carte du jour made of napkins, a microphone made of can cans on a cord, and a very small fish-shaped sign, despite the fact that SpongeBob already paid for them, thus making Mr. Krabs non have to spend annihilation. Because of the increase in customers, he keeps knocking more holes in the walls of his restaurant until information technology eventually collapses. In "SpongeBob You're Fired," he fires SpongeBob, his best employee, just to save a nickel, although he regrets that later on. In "Out of the Flick," Krabs, after SpongeBob telling him that when paintings get older, they get more than expensive, buys all of Squidward's paintings, including the one that SpongeBob bought. Later an fine art appraiser tells him that the paintings of an artist that is out of the picture (meaning dead) are a lot more expensive than those of an alive artist, he takes this literally and sends Squidward to a series of deliveries to dangerous locations to get him killed in the process. After through luck, Squidward survives all of them, including delivery to Mars, Krabs in anger takes out a huge hammer and tries to directly kill him. Squidward in the process is forced to destroy his paintings and the art appraiser appraises the destruction. Krabs, in hopes of getting money, so destroys his own restaurant just to print the appraiser. The appraiser then says to Krabs that the "performance" couldn't take a price on it, so Mr. Krabs then gets aroused, only a piece of the roof crushes him and Squidward. Information technology is then seen that they are displaced in an art museum.
Mr. Krabs can as well exist incredibly piffling, especially when information technology's almost coin. An example is in "Plankton's Regular," where when the Chum Bucket gets a regular customer, Mr. Krabs breaks downward crying, saying that he tin't let Plankton have fifty-fifty ane solitary customer, even though Plankton says beforehand that he wouldn't try to steal the Krabby Patty formula anymore because he "just can't afford it." Some other instance is in "Penny Foolish," where he goes to ridiculous lengths to acquire a penny that SpongeBob finds, setting upward numerous tricks that would ironically cost far more than a penny. In "Born Again Krabs," he attacks an innocent bystander who found a penny on the floor and nearly tore his arm off to get the penny. During his schemes, he often forces SpongeBob to assistance him by threatening to fire him. In "InSPONGEiac," Mr. Krabs scolds SpongeBob for using 1% more mustard than he was supposed to and calls him an insomniac for getting two minutes less slumber than normal.
Mr. Krabs has also shown that he believes that he has total command over SpongeBob'south personal life: In "Karate Choppers," he forces SpongeBob to give up karate altogether, including exterior of work, or else he would be fired. In "My Pretty Seahorse," Mr. Krabs tells SpongeBob to not just stop bringing Mystery to work, only to get rid of her completely and has on many occasions forced his employees to piece of work nonstop and told them that they could never become home, which is illegal.
Mr. Krabs is very protective of the hugger-mugger formula, equally he is ever going to peachy lengths to brand sure it is safe from Plankton. All the same, he is so used to Plankton making attempts to steal information technology that if Plankton doesn't make whatever attempts for a certain length of time, he begins to lose his sanity. As shown in Plankton Paranoia, Mr. Krabs is willing to leave the formula in plain sight, make new laws about all Krabby Patties having to be eaten on Krusty Krab bounds, and even ban his customers and his employees just to become Plankton to reveal himself, and he oft ends up hallucinating that Plankton is everywhere.
Despite his cruel and money-grubbing behavior, Mr. Krabs is not completely heartless. He has apologized and shown regret for his actions on occasion, and he does intendance for Pearl, going to nifty lengths to acquire food for her in " Growth Spout" and in "Bossy Boots," he makes Pearl director and gets heartbroken having to fire her, request SpongeBob to do it in his place. Despite his somewhat abusive treatment of SpongeBob and Squidward, he does intendance for and capeesh them, every bit the two help keep his restaurant afloat. He has also stated that he wouldn't stoop so low as to physically abuse them, as shown in "Selling Out." In "Krusty Love," Krabs finds his second love after money: Mrs. Puff, and they are still dating to this day. Also, in "Best Day Ever," when SpongeBob is sad, he actually uses his money to endeavor to cheer him upwards. Additionally, in "Born Again Krabs" he struck a bargain with the Flying Dutchman for a 2nd adventure at life in exchange for beingness a not-cheap, generous crab, something that he did very well until he discovered that he had no money in the cash register. As seen in "Little Yellow Book," Mr. Krabs is upset at Squidward for reading SpongeBob'due south hugger-mugger diary, and as he didn't laugh at all, it also means that he was not an hypocrite. In "Welcome to the Chum Saucepan" Mr. Krabs is heartbroken over losing SpongeBob and even says he volition requite it all abroad to have him back. He as well shows some sort of fatherly business organisation towards SpongeBob and Patrick, making them promise never to go near the hooks in "Hooky" and forbidding them from using vulgar words in "Sailor Mouth," also as alert them of getting the face freeze for doing face in "Face Freeze!," and in "Yours, Mine and Mine," he reprimands them for fighting over a toy of little importance, every bit it'south a stupid reason to do so. He likewise apologizes for selling SpongeBob for 62 cents in "Born Again Krabs," even going as far as throwing the coins to the footing in cloy and saying "I don't want this foul money! I want SpongeBob back!". In "Mr. Krabs Takes a Holiday," he as well stops ii bank robbers from robbing the coin factory with SpongeBob'south assist. This shows that Mr. Krabs is technically a skilful crab overall, and defining him as evil is an overstatement.
Dwelling
Mr. Krabs and Pearl live together in a hollow anchor. Its address has been inconsistent in the show: it is at 3541 Anchor Mode, Bikini Bottom in "Sleepy Fourth dimension" and at 2219 Anchor St. in "Mall Daughter Pearl." Mr. Krabs and Pearl own a pet worm named Mr. Doodles, as seen in "Sandy's Rocket" and "As Seen on TV." Krabs has a female parent, who lives in a about identical version of his anchor abode, except information technology is pink and slightly smaller.
Abilities and talents
- Detection: Mr. Krabs is no stranger to having his restaurant invaded by Plankton in pursuit of the formula. As such, he isn't deceived by Plankton's numerous disguises and attempts to obtain the formula. In "Plankton!," Mr. Krabs is the only 1 to realize that the moving Krabby Patty was a result of Plankton hiding in information technology. In "Imitation Krabs," he detects Plankton behind the Robot Game Show Host machine. He also isn't deceived by Plankton lying about his bill of fare advising to discuss the Krabby Patty formula while at SpongeBob'due south party in "Party Pooper Pants." Despite this, he falls for Plankton's disguise as Cashina in "Married to Money" and his trail of pennies in "Goo Goo Gas" out of greed. Mr. Krabs too has a cracking sense of smell, and he tin identify the presence of money from lengthy distances, as seen in "Penny Foolish."
