Eugene Harold Krabs is a supporting character on the Nickelodeon animated-series SpongeBob SquarePants.

He is the owner of a fast food restaurant, "The Krusty Krab" home of the Krabby Patty, and the boss of SpongeBob SquarePants and Squidward Tentacles.

Mr. Krabs is depicted as a short, red, and portly with tall eyestalks, a crinkled red-brown nose, large claws, and short, pointy legs. Spikes on his shell are also visible on the back of his neck. He wears a light blue shirt and purple pants with a black belt. A sailor or pirate ship often correlates with Mr. Krabs. Many times when he appears on-screen, sea-shanty sailor music is playing. He is known to occasionally molt his shell, revealing a very soft, pink, and fleshy body beneath his shell.

Mr. Krabs is the single father of Pearl Krabs, his teenaged whale daughter. Whether she is adopted or her biological child is unknown, especially since we never see or hear about her mother. He has an on-again off-again romantic relationship with Mrs. Puff whom he has been dating since 2008.

His best friend turned arch-nemesis is Sheldon Plankton, who frequently tries to undermine his business by stealing the Krabby Patty Secret Formula.

Mr. Krabs' greatest love more than anything is that of money. He is extremely greedy and cheap, working SpongeBob, Squidward, and occasionally Patrick to the bon4 for cheap change. His restaurant is notorious for meeting the bare minimum of OSHA and FDA regulation standards. He also frequently attempts all sorts of crazy schemes and scams to obtain even more money for as little as possible or avoid having to pay people. His love of money is not for a desire of decadent living, but rather because he just like money to an almost romantic or sexual level, frequently waxing poetically about it's appearance, texture, sound, etc. and being depicted in compromising activities with money, such as bathing, eating, or kissing it.

He is voiced by Clancy Brown.
