Mr. Krabs
The penny-pinching founder and owner of the Krusty Krab who loves money more than anything else in the world, including his own shell.
Story
Eugene H. Krabs is a red crab who lives in an anchor with his whale daughter, Pearl. As a former sailor in the Navy, he transitioned into the restaurant business by acquiring a bankrupt retirement home and turning it into the Krusty Krab. He is defined by an obsessive, almost pathological love for money, often going to extreme lengths to save or earn a single cent. Despite his greed, he serves as a father figure to SpongeBob and a rival to Plankton, his former best friend turned business competitor. His life revolves around protecting the secret formula of the Krabby Patty and maximizing his profits at any cost, though he occasionally shows a softer side for his daughter and employees.
