Squidward Tentacles

Squidward Quincy Tentacles is the deuteragonist on the Nicktoons animated series SpongeBob SquarePants. He is the middle neighbor between SpongeBob SquarePants and Patrick Star on Conch Street. Squidward is a cephalopod. His species is an octopus according the series creators, despite his name containing "squid." Squidward lives in a house shaped like an Easter Island Head. He works as a Cashier at the Krusty Krab, a job he dislikes. SpongeBob and Patrick consider Squidward their best friend, though the feeling is not mutual. He is a selfish individual and displays an unjustified air of superiority. He also has a large collection of self-portraits and is delusional about his talents (such as playing the clarinet) though nobody around him considers him to be very good. The series animators illustrated Squidward with six tentacles, believing that giving him the eight tentacles of an octopus has made him look too burdened.

Biography
In Squidward's childhood, he had to sit near the garbage cans at lunch. When he was an adult, he was part of the Krusty Krab crew along with Jim and later, after Jim quit, with a fry cook whose name is yet to be revealed. One day, he was planting a garden and a pineapple fell on him and destroyed his garden. A sponge named SpongeBob SquarePants moved into that pineapple and Squidward has been annoyed ever since.
