Mr. Krabs-Pearl relationship

Mr. Krabs and Pearl have a really good relationship since they are both father and daughter, but they do not technically get along really well. Mostly, because of Mr. Krabs' cheap nature. Even well into her teenage years, Pearl continues to call him "Daddy" instead of just "Dad," showing her affection for her father.
