* NoNeckChump: His head widens into his body lower down, with no neck whatsoever. While it's justified since he's a crab, he even looks like this when he's (briefly) turned human in the first movie.

* ALighterShadeOfBlack: His more "greedy and villainous" traits make him act just as ruthless and self-centered as [[BigBad his rival, Plankton]], but despite that, Krabs still has the ''slightest'' moral ground because he's not an outright devious schemer and in fact has the ability to care (occasionally). Granted, he's still a greedy, self-centered, and highly despicable {{Jerkass}} either way.

General clarification on works content


* CharacterizationMarchesOn: In the first season, Mr. Krabs was actually shown to be a decent chef in his own right, having made a plate of Krabby Patties into a pizza in a few seconds. Later seasons show him to be worse in the kitchen than [[LethalChef Squidward]].

Later seasons show him to be worse in the kitchen than [[LethalChef Squidward]].Squidward]], although he did co-create the Krabby Patty Formula.



* LethalChef: He's a terrible cook, creating a disgusting and freakish "appetizer" in "Squilliam Returns", which eventually comes to life and begins attacking the restaurant's patrons. By contrast, he portrays himself as a SupremeChef in his story in "Pull Up a Barrel" (albeit one who's forced to serve slop by his captain), [[UnreliableNarrator but it's all a yarn anyway]].

* LethalChef: He's Zigzagged. Usually, he's a terrible cook, creating a disgusting and freakish "appetizer" in "Squilliam Returns", which eventually comes to life and begins attacking the restaurant's patrons. By contrast, he portrays himself as a SupremeChef in his story in "Pull Up a Barrel" (albeit one who's forced to serve slop by his captain), [[UnreliableNarrator but it's all a yarn anyway]]. However, he is also considered the creator of the Krabby Patty Formula, which is considered delicious by almost every character in-universe.

* DidntThinkThisThrough: Some of his money-making schemes fall into this.

As it turns out, his terrible cooking nearly puts the Krusty Krab out of business, while [=SpongeBob=] finds himself being fought over by four other restaurant managers who want him as an employee for his amazing cooking skills.
