## Appearance

Mr. Krabs is a red, cartoonishly anthropomorphic crab who wears a light blue collared shirt with a white undershirt and blue belted pants. He has long eyestalks (which he seems to be able to pose at will), and a crinkled nose. Both of Mr. Krabs’ claws have a small lighting on them. He also has tiny, pointy pegs for legs that move very quickly when he walks and makes it seem as if he has more than two legs.

## Personality

Mr. Krabs is a lighthearted crustecean who is absolutely obsessed with his money. He loves earning money and can (rarely) be swayed into doing things he wouldn’t normally if cold hard cash is involved. Despite this, deep down, Krabs cares for his friends and will do what it takes to help those in need. He’s a strong leader, and an excellent businessman.

## Background

Harold Eugene Krabs, or more commonly, Mr. Krabs, is both the founder and manager of the Krusty Krab, easily the most popular burger joint in the underwater city of Bikini Bottom, who’s residents consist of cartoonishly anthropomorphic fish. Krabs one day decides to take a camping trip to the Kelp Forest. However, Krabs gets lost on his way home, accidentally winding up in Starcrossing. Since then, he founded a sister location to the Krusty Krab within the Cherry Village where he’s since happily served Krabby Patties to the villagers.

## Story

Eugene is strange when it comes to his backstory. He descends from a pirate captain, which is an easy explanation for his greedy nature and natural swordsmanship. His love of turning profit all began in his elementary school days with his best friend at that time, Plankton. Krabs was ridiculed by his classmates for coming from a poor family and wearing literal rags for clothes. The two minds came together in order to form their attempt at a burger joint. One broken friendship and a new rivalry later, Krabs had successfully created the Krabby Patty. Next, Krabs joined the Navy, where he saved his crew from pirate invasions and refined his combat skills. Next, Krabs either had, or adopted a child, which was named Pearl. She’s a whale for some reason. And finally, after remodeling an old retirement home, Mr. Krabs founded the Krusty Krab, easily one of the most popular restaurants in Bikini Bottom.

One day, Krabs decided that he needed some fresh air after those hours of counting money. He went on a camping trip to the Kelp Forest. He had a great time, until it was time to go home. The problem is, he lost his map while hiking, and couldn’t find his way back to Bikini Bottom. He decided to wing it, drive, and hope for the best. That got him in Starcrossing, where he opened a third Krusty Krab in order to get his big, meaty claws on as many otherworldly riches he can charge for. A week into 2020 later, and suddenly Krabs is now one of the sixty-four fighters battling for the chance to wish for whatever he wants. Krabs had hoped to use the wish to move Bikini Bottom to Starcrossing. That way he’d be able to see Pearl again.

The first battle of the tourney was between Krabs and Badeline, which went undocumented because the fight was unfortunately never announced. Badeline put up a good fight, but just was completely unprepared for what Krabs had to fight back with, securing Krabs the first victory of the tourney. The second and actually screencapped battle was between Krabs and Esorta. They both had relatively simular fighting styles with strong close-quarters, and lethal long-ranged firearms. One abnormally long falling scene and a coin toss later, Krabs won the second battle. Unfortunately, Krabs had no idea what else was in store, getting himself actually killed in the third round against Ashley. He was later brought back by Dimento.

Krabs really hasn’t done much else as of late, aside from getting threatened with jail time for overworking his employees. The current employee list consists of Spongebob Squarepants, Squidward Tentacles, Akira, Sasuke, and Krusher.

## Abilities and Gear

#### Abilities

* Krabs is an excellent cook, making even the foulest of foods taste like.. something exaggerated that also tastes good. Due to his wide knowledge of recipes, Krabs can whip up meals out of random assortments of ingredients.
* Krabs has shown in the past that he has some musical talent, able to play the keytar, piano, and violin (albeit unusually tiny).
* Being a crab, Eugene is able to breathe underwater.
* Krabs carries a reef blower on him at practically all times. This is used as a utility for heightened jumps or extra air time due to its unusually strong blowing functionality. This can also be used to blow away opponents or projectiles. If the lever on the handle is flipped, it will instead suck, allowing for an extended grab range, or to launch projectiles from the funnel.

#### Fighting (Melee)

Mr. Krabs is one heck of a heavy-hitter at close range, with solid damage dealing blasters at long-range.

* Mr. Krabs, while nowhere near as extreme as some of the other Spongebob characters, is affected by toonforce. This applies generally absurd physics to him, such as being able to flap his arms like a bird and move a few inches off of the ground.

* Eugene, being a crab, has an extremely durable shell. This allows him to withstand all kinds of damage and provides plenty of resistances, such as being stabbed. Krabs has the ability to eject from his shell as a last resort, however, Krabs would then have his fleshy insides be exposed, leaving him highly vulnerable to just about everything. With enough damage or force, Krabs' shell can also break.
* Mr. Krabs is surprising strong for an elderly crab. He's strong enough to lift the entire Krusty Krab.

#### Fighting (Ranged)

Mr. Krabs has a surprisingly varied set of weapons at his disposal. All of the blasters come from the Spongebob game 'Plankton's Robotic Revenge'. Krabs is limited to only three of the blasters listed below at a given time.

## Friends

#### Peppino

Peppino is undoubtedly one of Eugene' closest friends. Krabs befriended him after bringing Peppino to his house to rest after passing out from an anxiety attack. Mr. Krabs later introduced Peppino to more practical cooking methods, allowing Peppino to make way better pizzas.

## Additional Things

* Mr. Krabs has the ability to breathe on land because of his interaction with Bubbles the Dolphin from Spongebob: Sponge Out of Water. (Real crabs can live on land, but they need to keep their gills moist.)

* Mr. Krabs speaks with a small dialect that is meant to sound pirate-y. He says ‘me’ instead of ‘my’, ‘cen’ instead of ‘can’, 'ya' or 'ye' instead of 'you', and ‘ta’ instead of ‘to’.
