Mr. Krabs is the iconic greedy crab owner of the Krusty Krab restaurant in the undersea world of Bikini Bottom from the beloved Nickelodeon animated series SpongeBob SquarePants. With his bulging eyes, large red carapace, and distinctive navy blue shirt with a ship steering wheel emblem, he cuts an unmistakable figure.
His miserly ways and obsession with accumulating riches from his profitable burger establishment provide much of the show’s comedic fodder. However, he shares a softer side with his browbeaten but ever-loyal cashier squid employee Squidward and the eternally optimistic SpongeBob himself.
To recreate Mr. Krabs’ iconic look for a costume party or convention, the guide image provides all the key components. Start with a red bodysuit or morphsuit (2) and pair it with the zany crab headpiece (1) with its googly eyes and antennae. Add some red crab claw gloves (6), a light blue polo shirt (3), black belt (5), and navy blue shorts (4) to complete the crustacean capitalist’s signature style from the show. With some creativity, you’ll be ready to pinch pennies like the one and only Mr. Krabs!
Mr. Krabs’ acquaintances include the heroic elder duo Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy, whom SpongeBob idolizes as his favorite superheroes despite their elderly antics and fading memories.
