Squidward Tentacles is one of the main characters in the SpongeBob SquarePants (Series) franchise.
He is a grumpy, stoic, and straight-to-the-point octopus who lives next door with SpongeBob Squarepants and Patrick Star. He has a passion for fine arts and music, but his attempt of improving his craft is usually foiled by SpongeBob's antics, much to his anger and irritation. He is also SpongeBob's coworker at Mr. Krabs' Krusty Krabs restaurant and work there as the receptionist.
