Character

Ringmaster Mudkrab is a ringmaster of the circus who appears as the main antagonist in the episode "Big Top Flop."

Description[]

He is a light brown mud crab, as suggested by his name. He has eyestalks, nose, and a mustache with a goatee. He wears a top hat with a bowtie, a black shirt with a red coat, white pants and gloves with black boots.

Role in episode[]

Ringmaster Mudkrab sets up his circus right in front of the Krusty Krab, attracting Mr. Krabs' loyal customers away. Upon his arrival, Mudkrab claims to have legal permission to establish the circus there and taunts Krabs about snatching his business. Inside a trailer, Mudkrab discusses plans with his circus crew, but Krabs takes action by locking them inside to thwart their circus.

Eventually, Mudkrab breaks free from the trailer and storms into the circus tent. Krabs attempts to outmaneuver him using circus equipment, but Mudkrab relentlessly pursues him. Krabs finds himself stranded on a tightrope and resorts to hurling sea urchins at Mudkrab, sending him tumbling off. The urchins then chew through the tightrope, causing Krabs to plummet. Krabs makes a daring escape on a unicycle with Mudkrab in hot pursuit, riding a motorcycle. The chase reaches its climax as both of them leap into cannons and fire at each other. This unexpected collision results in their fusion, turning them into a peculiar new attraction for the circus's freak show.

Trivia[]

  • The "krab" part of his surname is spelled with a K instead of a C, as in Mr. Krabs'.
