Eugene H. Krabs

Eugene H. Krabs, usually called Mr. Krabs, is one of the two tritagonists (alongside Squidward Tentacles) of SpongeBob SquarePants. He is the penny-pinching owner and founder of the Krusty Krab restaurant. While he can come across as incredibly selfish, he is a caring and thoughtful crab deep down. Mr. Krabs dotes on his daughter Pearl and appreciates his employees, SpongeBob and Squidward.
Mr. Krabs sometimes identifies himself as a sailor and served in the Navy at one point (earning the nickname "Armor Abs Krabs"). During his service, he was the chief janitor on the S.S. Gourmet and "head chef" on the "S.S. Diarrhea" (figure of speech, since he cleaned the bathrooms). Sometimes when he appears onscreen, sailor's music is played; Krabs uses sea-faring vocabulary; he calls disagreement mutiny and calls the bathroom the head while his laugh is akin to those of sailors. Krabs is something of a miser; he is known to go insane if he has to give up so much as a penny. He is reluctant to purchase just about anything, even though he's the richest crab in the ocean. Pearl is often extremely disappointed in Mr. Krabs' gifts to her, such as on her 16th birthday or the infamous squeaky boots.
The Krusty Krab's only competitor is the Chum Bucket restaurant across the street, run by his arch-rival and former friend, Plankton. He's the tretagonist in Season 1-3, the main antagonist in Season 4-9 and the tetargonist / antihero in Season 10-today.
He's an important background character in The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie, one of the two main antagonists (alongside Burger-Beard) turned antihero in The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge Out of Water and the tretagonist in The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge on the Run.
