Squidward Tentacles

Squidward Tentacles

Squidward Quincy Tentacles is a character on the Nicktoon show SpongeBob SquarePants. Squidward is a cephalopod, but his species is an octopus according to the series' creators, despite his name containing the word squid. Squidward lives in a house shaped like the head of an Easter Island Moai, and he lives between SpongeBob and Patrick in Bikini Bottom. He works as a cashier alongside SpongeBob at the Krusty Krab restaurant, a job he dislikes. Squidward is considered an outsider to the Bikini Bottom citizens and displays an unjustified air of superiority. The series' animators made Squidward with six tentacles, believing that giving him the eight tentacles of an octopus has made him look too burdened. Squidward appears in 278 episodes of the series, second only to SpongeBob's appearance in all episodes.
