Personality
Squidward Tentacles is a light green/blue colour, and has purple suction cups at the end of his tentacles. He has six limbs in total, two being arms and four being legs. Whenever he walks his suction cups stick to the floor, meaning that he walks with a distinct squelching noise. Squidward has a large bald head, big droopy nose and yellow eyes with red pupils. He wears a brown short-sleeved shirt.
Squidward is usually portrayed to be a whiny, sitck-in-the-mud character, a complete opposite to SpongeBob SquarePants. He is very egotistical and can't stand saying sorry to anyone or admitting his mistakes. He considers himself very sophisticated and upper-class, and looks down on most other people. Most of the time Squidward is impatient, egotistical and finds everything dull and trivial. However, in some episodes, Squidward is shown to have a rather more wild side. An example of this is in Squidsville, Squidward goes to live in a town with other people who are exactly like him. However, Squidward realises that he can't cope with this lifestyle and is shown at the end of the episode to fly away on a reef-blower whilst laughing manically. Also, in Squid's Day Off, Squidward is shown as very unstable and slightly mad in nature. Although Squidward has a generally dull and uncaring personality, he cannot keep it up constantly and turns hysterical every once in a while, much to SpongeBob's confusion.
Squidward works as the cashier in the Krusty Krab, but he hates his job, largely due to the fact that he has to work with SpongeBob. He shows no enthusiam, although he often shares a private joke with his boss, Eugene H. Krabs, about SpongeBob. Squidward is only in his job for the paycheck, however small this may be. He dreams of being a world-famous clarinet player, but has done nothing to achieve this.
Personality
Sqidward loves art. He does many artistic things like painting, working with marble or dancing... as hobby. He individually thinks his "artistic" things are beautiful, but he is the only one who does. Sometimes he meets his rival, Squilliam, but usually fails to impress. However, in Band Geeks, he manages to win one over Squilliam. His favorite hobby is to play the clarinet. Most of the time he is a terrible player. But in some episodes likeBubble Stand he can perfectly play the clarinet. >
Squidward can't say "Excuse me" or "sorry". This is becase he is very egotistical and has trouble admitting his mistakes.
In "Artist Unknown" SpongeBob makes a perfect circle and Squidward is fascinated, but he tells SpongeBob off and says that SpongeBob hadn't followed the rules of art. Then SpongeBob makes a wonderful sculpture; inwardly Squidward is frantic, but he shouts at SpongeBob, because he is jealous of his talent.
Next to his dream to become a perfect artist, he wats to have hair! In One Krab's Trash we see Squidward's dream are buried in a accursed cementery. He apparently comes there and brings flower to his dream's tomb. Maybe he is therefore always churlish.
His crabbiness is also contributed by SpongeBob and Patrick presence. In Breath of Fresh Squidward SpongeBob explains that a storm appears over Squidward's brain when he sees SpongeBob or Patrick or both. Squidwards glad of bliss get a cold and himself isn't happy. But SpongeBob and Patrick think Squidward is thier friend and sometimes Squidward recognizes he likes SpongeBob and Patrick. He often want to get rid of them, but either it doesn't go or he misses SpongeBob and Patrick.
He hates jellyfishing, even he unwittingly invents it (14a)! He is too easy to vex him, so it's difficult to become a friend or to establish a relationship.
Because of his personality we can suppose Squidward is an egoistic bourgeois, but he isn't all the time! He can be very merciful! He shows his feelings other people, but unfortunately just rarely. Like in Christmas Who? Squidward give all his goods and chattels just so that SpongeBob happy is. In Pizza Delivery SpongeBob breaks out in tears as the costoumer doesn't want the pizza, so Squidward "assists a bit".
