Mrs. Tentacles is Squidward's mother and Grandma Tentacles' daughter-in-law. She is voiced by Rodger Bumpass and first appears in "Fools in April."
Description
In "Fools in April," Mrs. Tentacles has puffy white hair, a turquoise skin, and long eyelashes, but no wrinkles. In "Krusty Towers," her first physical appearance, she has light purple hair, glasses, gold earrings, a pink gown and slippers, and looks older. This is also her current appearance.
Personality
Mrs. Tentacles seems to like baking cookies as seen in the episode "Krusty Towers." She also appears to be very friendly, although in "Fools in April" she was rude to Squidward in his hallucination. She is married to Jeff Tentacles, although it is presumed that the two are divorced as she appears to live alone and Jeff is shown to be alive in Hooray for Dads!
Residence
Mrs. Tentacles resides in an Moai Easter Island head similar to Squidward's; the only difference is that her home has womanish curly hair as seen in "Krusty Towers" and "Scavenger Pants."
