In the video game Lights, Camera, Pants!, he wears a light green shell and gloves with a green-white striped cloth and two black bands on his eyestalks.

Role in series[]

"Life of Crime" / Crime and Funishment[]

He is shown stealing a sleeping hermit crab's shell to use for himself. The victim then wakes up and points to where the thief went so the police can arrest him.

They are successful in arresting the criminal, but he deems his arrest unfair. Mr. Krabs then complains about how he hates when people steal things like the crab did on the show, before SpongeBob and Patrick point out his hypocrisy by stating the many things he himself has stolen.

"Ain't That the Tooth"[]

He is seen in Bubble Bass' TV, where he sneaks into a sleeping hermit crab's house by climbing in through the window with a bag to steal its shell.

Role in games[]

Lights, Camera, Pants![]

He is the final boss of the video game's GBA version. He throws debris at Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy as they chase him with invisible boatmobile. Eventually, he loses and gets taken away by the police, but promises that he will return.
