Appearances
Mr. Krabs was first created when Stephen Hillenburg realized that he needed to give Pearl a parent figure. Pearl was the second character that Hillenburg created, after SpongeBob, and he wanted each main character to be a different species. He felt this made the cast more diverse and interesting. Thus, he decided to make Pearl's dad a crab rather than another whale. He named the crab "Mr. Crabs." This was later changed to Krabs, as Hillenburg thought K's were funnier.[1]
Hillenburg based Mr. Krabs on his former boss at a seafood restaurant. This boss was redheaded and had a strong Maine accent that sounded like a pirate.[2] Hillenburg decided that Mr. Krabs would employ SpongeBob at his restaurant, the Krusty Krab, where he lived with Pearl. He eventually designed an anchor-shaped house for them to live in instead, keeping the restaurant separate from episodes about the Krabs family's home life. Mr. Krabs' debut was in the pilot episode "Help Wanted," and he has since appeared frequently in the show, as well as in the film series and tie-in merchandise.
