Squidward Tentacles CharacterSquidward Q. Tentacles is SpongeBob and Patrick's effete cephalopod neighbor. His species is ambiguous, and has been referred to as both a squid and an octopus by the series' creators. Squidward lives in a house shaped like an Easter Island statue. He works as a cashier at the Krusty Krab, a job he hates. SpongeBob and Patrick consider Squidward their friend, but the feeling is not mutual.
