SpongeBob SquarePants



An American cartoon centering around a little sea sponge named SpongeBob SquarePants who lives in a pineapple under the sea in Bikini Bottom with his pet snail Gary. His best friend and across-the-street neighbor is Patrick Star, a sea star who lives under a rock under the sea, and his across-the-door neighbor is Squidward Quincy Tentacles, an octopus who lives in a moai head under the sea. The eponymous character, along with Squidward, works at the Krusty Krab, a fast-food restaurant ran by Eugene H. Krabs, a money-hungry crab (or krab) who has a whale as a daughter and lives in an anchor under the sea. The show was produced by Stephen Hillenburg in 1999 under the sea and has been actively airing on Nickelodeon ever since then.

The series is rather unique in setting, taking place under the waves of the ocean and following the lives of a diverse cast of sea creatures instead of only one or a few species at once. Outside of the fact that these characters are talking animals, the show also has a prominent surreal side. Fire can strongly blaze underwater, True Animals can behave like people, and characters' bodies morph wildly. There are times when SpongeBob can fill a room with tears or when Mr. Krabs can hoist the whole of his restaurant above his head without breaking a sweat. For as otherworldly as SpongeBob SquarePants can get, its characters often remain true to their real-life counterparts. For instance, SpongeBob can bud and regrow missing limbs or tiny heads on the sides of his body. Mr. Krabs and Larry the Lobster both sport powerful offense and great defense, as do the crustaceans in our world. The residents of Bikini Bottom are typically seen in giant masses like the schools of fish swimming in the oceans in real life.



A typical episode of SpongeBob SquarePants tells the story of a series of events involving its lead protagonist. SpongeBob spends his time working at the Krusty Krab, running through Jellyfish Fields, or playing games with his friends. His best friend is Patrick Star, a starfish known for his often abysmal intelligence. The two of them may or may not intentionally ruin the daily life of their neighbor Squidward Tentacles with their juvenile foolery. Their wacky and carefree attitudes totally contrast his mature and upright composure. This is what powers the one-against-two conflicts that so many episodes run on. As an Unluckster, Squidward is seemingly incapable of enjoying a single moment to himself before his self-proclaimed friends break into his home or invade his property to bug the life out of him. Try as he might, there is no escaping the pair of nitwits. Outside of annoying Squidward, SpongeBob works as a fry cook at the Krusty Krab, a job he strongly exceeds at. There's no known joy greater than flipping Krabby Patties to the fast-food servant who comes in every day with a smile. His enjoyment of his career can recurrently become another source of irritation for Squidward who works as the restaurant's only cashier.

With a 14th season announced in 2022 and a third movie by the title of Sponge on the Run, many claim that SpongeBob SquarePants has Lost Its Magic and should be ended before it becomes a Poorly-Aged Franchise, but some others would say that it's already a bit too late for that.

SpongeBob SquarePants's Great Decline
A commonly held belief about SpongeBob SquarePants is how the first three seasons of the show are the only ones which memorable moments and lines come from. As time went on, the plots became less interesting, the characters got dumber or painful to watch, and the humor was more miss than hit. Many viewers also say that character interactions have degraded in later seasons of the show with one notable example being how Squidward Tentacles, who once used to be a Jerk who rightfully got his comeuppance, is now hurt by the world around him for no reason and in a way that isn't funny. What makes this worse is his downfalls are meant to be misfortunes the audience laughs at. Less pessimistic claims suggest SpongeBob SquarePants Lost Its Magic the same way many shows of its age do. Being aired since 1999, the series degrading to a Zombie Franchise was inevitable, even if its beginnings were as brilliant as they're thought to be. Later episodes lack the charm that the first 120 had, decreasing their watch and rewatch potential. The recurrence of Crutch Plots like those that involve Plankton making a failed attempt to snag the Krabby Patty secret formula also hinged on the show's overall entertainment value among some audience members.

SpongeBob SquarePants (Standard NG)
"SpongeBob SquarePants, the titular sea sponge of Bikini Bottom, is an energetic young fry cook and driving school student. His sometimes overbearingly positive attitude is a reason why many around him both like and dislike him."

Pro (Score 17)
Altruism: When it comes to helping others, SpongeBob puts his best foot forward, even if his help isn't wanted. In "Can You Spare a Dime?", SpongeBob takes Squidward in after he quits his job and becomes homeless. In times of Gary going missing, SpongeBob is willing to go to incredible lengths to retrieve his pet snail and return him home safely.

Athleticism: SpongeBob's soft, boneless body enables him to bend it into all sorts of irregular and enlengthened shapes all without straining himself. He usually has control over when he flexes his figure, but outside forces such as pulling can stretch him as well.

Friend Bond UP: SpongeBob does what he can for his friends, even if said "friends" may not be considered such. He spends most of his free time with Patrick in whatever games or activities the two come up with. SpongeBob occasionally offers to lend a hand in Sandy's scientific projects, like in the episodes "Wormy" and "Sandy's Rocket". He also incessantly begs her to change her mind when she sets off to challenge the Alaskan Bull Worm in "Sandy, SpongeBob, and the Worm". Though not part of a two-way friendship with Squidward, SpongeBob also looks out for his next-door neighbor who repeatedly expresses his dislike for the sponge. Squidward quits his job in "Can You Spare A Dime?", a choice that sends him to the streets. SpongeBob generously provides his own home to give Squidward a shelter. In "Jellyfishing", Squidward falls off a cliff after being menaced by a jellyfish he angered. This required him to visit the hospital, and after he got out, SpongeBob and Patrick do as much as they can to make his day the "best day ever". As is typical in a SpongeBob-Patrick-Squidward-central episode, the former two only make the life of the latter worse in trying to make him happy. When SpongeBob had to invent his own friend in "Bubble Buddy", whose presence caused trouble for the beachgoers of Goo Lagoon, he defends Bubble Buddy from the Angry Mob that threatened to pop him.

Fortune: In episodes known as "SpongeBob vs Squidward" plots, SpongeBob always gets the upper hand where Squidward loses. This may either be due to Squidward's own Misfortune+ or for a joke at his expense. SpongeBob (often while joined by Patrick) also tends to win out against others even if they aren't against him. At the end of "Arrgh!", the two are met by the Flying Dutchman who rewards them with two gold doubloons after saving him the treasure of digging up his trouble. Meanwhile, Mr. Krabs is only treated to a play piece used in the board game that inspired his adventure: a plastic treasure chest. SpongeBob doesn't think much of his constant wins in life like finding a $500 bill on the street or discovering a new type of hat that many buyers offer 900 Billion Dollars for.

High Spirits+: SpongeBob is able to maintain a positive mood and state of mind almost at all times, even when the current situation would suggest he shouldn't be. This perk of his can work against him at times, however, as his laughter becomes an annoyance to more than just the older audience members. SpongeBob's desire for simpler pleasures like a good day at work rewards him with a greater resistance to disappointment than those who seek fame or money like Squidward or Mr. Krabs respectively.

Innocence: SpongeBob strives to be the best person he can be. He helps others with no expectation of rewards, admits to when he is at fault, and never violently engages others for its own sake. Like his High Spirits+, SpongeBob's Innocence may be more of a liability than an asset in select contexts. It has the power to blind him from the truth of a situation and trick him into believing people are happier than they really are. This causes him to perceive his friend total to be higher than in reality, which results in him being nice and joking to those who only want him gone. Still, SpongeBob has a Heart Of Gold that renders him a very difficult individual to truly corrupt. In "It's a SpongeBob Christmas", Plankton makes a failed effort at warping SpongeBob with fruit cake laced with jerktonium, an element with the ability to give those who consume it a callous attitude. Karen later explains that SpongeBob's love for the holiday (as well as his tiny brain) prevented him from being affected by the fruit cake.

Mastery of the Arts+: SpongeBob is an expert-tier fry cook. The event of him being unable to hit the mark in fixing his next Krabby Patty is extremely rare. His high-level culinary skills even earned him a bit of fame, as seen in "Squid on Strike". While striking, a teenager calls him a "fry cook legend" before asking for his autograph.

Resistance++: Being a soft sea sponge, SpongeBob is able to resist the most painful of attacks and accidents without the slightest of an injury. "The Bully" shows him being repeatedly punched by a school bully, but he didn't notice the tormentor's blows. If he is cut, SpongeBob can easily put himself back together as if the cut never happened.

Utility Proficiency+: With his spatula at his side, SpongeBob can whip up a flurry of Krabby Patties in as little as a minute for the Krusty Krab's patrons to enjoy. In "Help Wanted", the pilot of the show, SpongeBob Saves The Day by satisfying the hunger of a horde of raging anchovies by preparing a wave of burgers for them to consume just as quickly as they were served. One of SpongeBob's favorite pastimes is bubble blowing. He can blow bubbles into creative and playful shapes such as rubber ducks and sea horses, a skill only his best friend Patrick shares on his level.

Work Ethic++: SpongeBob is often shown to be exceedingly skilled at his job, earning the possible respect of his employer Eugene Krabs. He has never been shown disliking or growing bored of his job, even pining to return to it after he's accumulated too many vacation days and needs to take a break from work.

Con (Score 7)
Bane of Existence+: Even though he bears no ill-will against anyone else, SpongeBob is often considered a pest to others, most notably his next-door neighbor Squidward Tentacles. The most vexing part of his character for some is his laugh and seemingly never-ending happiness. Most of the time, though, SpongeBob inadvertently aggravates those around him with his antics and pestering behavior. His Stupidity aids in allowing him to ignore the effects of his actions.

Disdain: An attentive viewer knows that SpongeBob fails to be popular in any real way. His Frailty sets him below others in terms of strength. This is best seen when he attempt to impress his friends with lift-related Party Tricks that he miserably fails. It also doesn't help that SpongeBob's two favorite hobbies, jellyfishing and bubble blowing, are considered geeky and childish. (This attribute also extends to Patrick to a lesser extent. He, being a Buddy, does not need popularity or friends other than SpongeBob for the show to function.) SpongeBob is periodically mocked by others for his ways, like in "Grandma's Kisses", "The Sponge Who Could Fly", and "Patty Hype".

Emotional Fragility: SpongeBob can be upset by very small issues that send him spiraling into a fit of tears or, more rarely, anger. It can be difficult to calm him down once he is knocked out of his usual chipper mood, sometimes leading to the destruction of whole buildings with a flood of tears if he is sad.

Familial Bond DOWN: SpongeBob hardly ever interacts with his family, but when he does, it's often only his parents or grandmother who make an appearance. Because of this, little is known about his immediate family.

Frailty: In a fight, SpongeBob would have to rely more on his Resistance++ than his physical strength, which has been shown to be worthless on multiple occasions. His fights against Sandy in earlier episodes are the only times when SpongeBob's strength hasn't been abysmally low. This Con UnTrait is sometimes cranked up to the point where SpongeBob is unable to lift a stick without sinking into the sand below him. "MuscleBob BuffPants" of season 1 is centered around SpongeBob's Frailty. The episode shows him struggling to move a drinking straw even the slightest nudge once served a drink at a bar. "No Weenies Allowed" further emphasizes on how the sponge is weak and uncool.

Stupidity: SpongeBob can be just as stupid as his friend Patrick, engaging in the same annoying or potentially dangerous activities he does. Outside of that, he can be plain ignorant to the world around him and miss even the largest details that would be impossible for anyone else to ignore. With the show's age, SpongeBob's Stupidity only intensified as he was degraded to a childish adult who would cry and complain over the smallest things. However, even in earlier episodes, he and Patrick would annoy those they liked outside of their number-one victim Squidward. This is out of sheer inability to see they aren't wanted and most typically with no sinister motives. Season 1's "Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy" introduces Bikini Bottom's elderly superhero duo in their retirement home. SpongeBob repeatedly irritates and disturbs them in an attempt to convince them out of retirement. In the end, his plan works but only after the two battle him and Patrick into forcefully leaving the home. SpongeBob lets his Hero Worship get the better of him in "I'm Your Number One Fanatic" when he pesters Kevin so he can join his group. This gets on the sea pickle's nerves and leads to him cruelly abusing SpongeBob with the Fake Promise of getting him oriented.

Patrick Star (Standard NN)
"Patrick Star is the best friend and a next-door neighbor of the show's lead character, SpongeBob SquarePants. Living under his barely furbished rock of a house, Patrick generally spends his days snoozing at home. He joins his friend on many journeys and accompanies him in his hobbies."

Pro (Score 1.5)
Friend Bond UP: In early seasons of the series, Patrick makes it very obvious that he is SpongeBob's best friend. SpongeBob once attempted to steal a box Patrick says protects a very important secret that he alone is aware of. When SpongeBob is caught with the box and confesses to being the one behind its robbery, Patrick refuses to believe it's the real SpongeBob, saying that his best friend forever would never do something so terrible to him.

Vigor-: Although Patrick is rarely shown to be strong, he is able to use his strength to, for example, repeatedly slam a desktop up and down or completely destroy a fair out of pure anger. And even though he hardly gets into fist-to-fist fights with anyone else, he can take someone down with a single punch if he needs to. However, Patrick fights in physical battles too solemnly to add Fighting Spirit to his list of UnTraits.

Con (Score 6)
Bane of Existence: While not thought of as annoying as his best friend, Patrick has habits that bug those around him, likely those that can tie in well with his Stupidity++. The games he and SpongeBob play are the driving force behind Squidward's hatred for the pair. Patrick's lack of smarts can get on others' nerves, with Sandy and Mr. Krabs having their fair share of moments Patrick bugged them.

Friend Bond DOWN+: Patrick's in-universe history with SpongeBob as a friend is much better than his meta history. In earlier seasons, he was shown to be the best friend SpongeBob ever had, but in later episodes, he now abuses his relationship with SpongeBob and uses it as a shield to defend himself from accountability of his actions, treating his "friend" as a scapegoat who wrongfully takes the blame for Patrick's actions. What makes this UnTrait Enhanced is how SpongeBob fails to see how Patrick is mistreating him and break out of their terrible relationship, which is what leads to SpongeBob unfairly being punished for something he either didn't do at all or is mostly not guilty for.

Sloth: A secondary characteristic of Patrick's is his laziness. On top of being unemployedundefined, he can be too lazy to listen to Squidward's song played on his clarinet or watch over a clam baby as a father.

Stupidity++: The trait Patrick is best known for is his idiocy. He's too much of a moron at times to see how he's affecting people with either his Stupidity++ or another one of his Con UnTraits. As of later seasons of the show, Patrick's stupidity has only become a worse problem to the point where he harms his best friend SpongeBob out of sheer selfishness or general immaturity. More often than not, Patrick's bad decision-making skills put him and sometimes others at risk of harm around him, most often SpongeBob.

Vanity: Patrick periodically fails to put others before himself. Instances of this showing are when Patrick refused to share a Krabby Patty toy with SpongeBob, intentionally endangered an extremely rare Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy collectible card, and exploited other people's respect for him after he learned that he is of royal heritage.

Squidward Quincy Tentacles (Flawed CG)
"Squidward Tentacles is a multi-skilled artist whose main interests range from painting to music to sculpting, though he also takes up gardening as one of his hobbies. This unfortunate cephalopod more often than not finds his largest source of annoyance and outright anger to be his two neighbors SpongeBob SquarePants and Patrick Star."

Pro (Score 4)
Intelligence: Being an octopus, Squidward is naturally and fittingly smart, being one of the most intelligent residents in Bikini Bottom. His sophistication, however, is often overshadowed by the abundant idiocy of others around him.

Mastery of the Arts+: Squidward has at least one work in nearly any imaginable field of art: music, sculpting, stage performance, singing, and painting to name a few. Even though he has numerous talents, Squidward's art is never recognized by the world.

Sanitation UP: Squidward is a very orderly person. He keeps his home in a consistently clean condition and dislikes encountering a mess.

Con (Score 10)
Animosity: Squidward loathes the existences of SpongeBob and Patrick like nothing else. So often is he seen minding his own business until the pair ruins the tranquil mood with their laughter or childish shenanigans. However, in times of him being pushed to his limits, such as in the episodes "SB-129" and "The Graveyard Shift", he may admit to a deep caring for the one he says he hates the most. Squidward cries over what he believes is SpongeBob's explosive death near the end of "Dying For Pie", proud of himself for making the sponge's last moments of life meaningful. Beside his dislike for his two neighbors, Squidward is a far cry from the friendliest he can be at the Krusty Krab. He often treats the restaurant's patrons with a rough attitude by insulting them behind their backs or denying customer service.

Deception: Considering how his peace and nerves are always under attack by the two biggest buffoons of his life, it's no surprise that Squidward abuses his Intelligence to whip up dishonest schemes to manipulate them. His favorite tactic usually involves feeding SpongeBob a lie with the goal of warping his enemy's behavior in a way that is beneficial to him. In "Opposite Day", Squidward introduces the idea of Opposite Day to SpongeBob to have him act reverse of how he normally does. Instead of being loud and annoying, SpongeBob must be quiet and out of the way. In "Naughty Nautical Neighbors", Squidward taints a bubble-blowing game between SpongeBob and Patrick by filling his own bubbles with hateful messages meant to turn the friends on each other. Squidward tells SpongeBob about his laugh box in "Funny Pants" to get him to quit laughing as continuous laughter will wear it out. It's common for Squidward's method of regaining his peace to work against him by the end of the plot. In order of the three previous examples, SpongeBob and Patrick reversing their personalities gets them to transform themselves to a couple of Squidwards, which soils the deal with a real estate agent to help Squidward sell his house; SpongeBob and Patrick try too hard to become Squidward's best friend which irritates him further; Squidward's own laugh box breaks, so SpongeBob shares half of his, affecting Squidward's laugh to sound like his neighbor's. But not all of Squidward's lies are entirely malicious. In "Graveyard Shift", he tells SpongeBob a false Ghost Story about a former employee at the Krusty Krab for his own entertainment. The way this lie comes back to bite Squidward is after multiple events from his story happen in reality to frighten him into thinking that the Slash-Slinging Hacker is real only for everything to turn out to be a Fake-Out.

Emotional Fragility: The most repeatedly revisited emotions for Squidward are anger and despair. As made very clear by this page at this point, Squidward can't stand SpongeBob and Patrick. They chew through his patience so recurrently that it nearly seems deliberate at times. When he isn't too busy being set off by his neighbors to focus on anything else, Squidward may feel the trapping sense of being stuck right where he is with no hope of escape. His desperation is often felt at work where he is to waste away doing the same draining with the worst possible coworker and a boss who couldn't care less for his unhappiness. It also comes after a crushing defeat in one of his spheres of interest, such as being rejected by society for not having talent playing his clarinet. This general misery Squidward must live with gives the impression that he is deeply dissatisfied with his current lifestyle. This has gone as far as to reveal a possibly suicidal side of his character on rare occasion.

Iniquity: Squidward holds no aggression back when confronting SpongeBob and Patrick. Although he rarely directly states he hates them, he makes his distaste of the two known when given the chance. However, the language he uses in doing so, such as sarcasm, confuses the pair of friends and fails to deliver the fullness of its meaning. This gets SpongeBob and Patrick to believe that Squidward is their friend despite anyone else understanding he is not so. When SpongeBob and Patrick are either on their way to or are beginning the process of ruining Squidward's day, he often at least attempts to relocate himself to a place where he can be safe from them. This barely works the way he intends and may end with him feeling worse than he was before.

Misery+: Nothing seems to be able to go right for Squidward. The most obvious problem he faces is being situated between two of the biggest numbskulls in the city whose rowdy antics never fail to wear on his patience. The existential anguish of the fact that he works a bland, humiliating job where none of his talents come forth only adds to this Con UnTrait. What's more, society rejecting Squidward and his artworks mounts onto his social cynicism. Sometimes, the only way Squidward can find happiness is by fantasizing about living in a world where everything goes his way.

Misfortune+: On top of being unluckily positioned between two of Bikini Bottom's most aggravating citizens, Squidward's misfortune leads him to getting hurt badly by others on purpose or accident, being stranded in an undesirable location, or having his day be ruined by him not getting his way.

Vanity: Squidward, thinking of himself to be a highly-skilled and valuable individual, can be stuck-up at times. He lives by the belief that he is one of few intelligent people left in the world whose ideas and opinions truly matter. As a result, he may find little value in what others have to say or share. He is also mildly opposed to helping others and opts to turn his back on them when possible.

Work Ethic DOWN: Squidward isn't necessarily bad at his job as the Krusty Krab's cashier — he doesn't care for working it. Instead of working a dead-end job, Squidward aspires to be a great artist whose work can reel in tenfold the money he earns as a fast food restaurant employee.

Eugene Harold Krabs (Flawed CE)
"Eugene Krabs, often just called Mr. Krabs or Krabs, is the founder and employer of the Krusty Krab, Bikini Bottom's premier fast food restaurant. A retired sailor from the Navy, Mr. Krabs has many moments of being the money-driven, miserly boss of SpongeBob SquarePants and Squidward Tentacles."

Pro (Score 8)
Power: As the head of the Krusty Krab, Krabs has a mighty amount of power to exercise over his employees. He may take advantage of this power and turn it into a tool of merciless cheapness with no opposition to stop him.

Prestige: The revenue earned from the Krusty Krab enables its owner to live a considerably luxurious life. His giant anchor of a home is fully dressed with a collection of nautical treasures, antiques, and paintings. Krabs's work office is also finely ornate with similar decorations.

Resistance+: Being a crab, Mr. Krabs is very strong against incoming blows from any opponents with his shell acting as a natural, all-around shield that defends him from attacks, projectiles, and explosions. Even though this is true, Mr. Krabs' shell isn't invincible: it still has a limit as to how much damage it can endure before cracking, leaving Krabs vulnerable to danger until it returns.

Vigor+: Mr. Krabs is probably the strongest citizen in Bikini Bottom, being able to lift the entirety of the Krusty Krab without breaking a sweat and fight an endless army of undead skeletons for hours.

Wisdom: When SpongeBob and Patrick fool around or mess up, Krabs may guide them to proper behavior by telling them what not to do, such as in the episodes "Hooky" and "Sailor Mouth".

Work Ethic UP: Mr. Krabs is a reliable leader of his fast-food establishment. He is competent and keen to return to his post. He does what he can to keep the Krusty Krab a means of income, even if his methods can get extreme.

Con (Score 4)
Animosity: His years of being in business have attracted the long-time rivalry of Sheldon Plankton, owner of the Chum Bucket. Plankton's innumerable failed efforts to snag the Krabby Patty secret formula have kept Krabs on his toes for any of his enemy's deceptive moves. Always coming out on top in these scuffles, Krabs confidently laughs off Plankton's defeats and amounts him to a total non-threat.

Greed++: Mr. Krabs has a long history of being overbearingly greedy. He will do anything if it means he can get a hold of more money, even if it's at the expense of his two only employees, SpongeBob and Squidward, or the Krusty Krab's customers. This absurd degree to which Krabs has been cheap would violate the law several times over. This includes forcing his workers to stay at their posts for several consecutive days or taxing them for actions like breathing or "goofing around". Krabs, with his large, powerful claws, nearly breaks a man's arm to seize a penny in "Born Again Krabs". In the same episode, he sells SpongeBob's soul to the Flying Dutchman for 62 cents. This illogical lust for more has been proven to have a severe psychological effect on his character. "Clams" sees Krabs earn his one millionth dollar, and as a treat for his two star employees, he goes on a boating trip where he loses his prized cash to a giant blue-lipped clam. He coaxes SpongeBob and Squidward into loyally aiding him retrieve his nabbed dollar by attempting to deprive them of food and even uses them as live bait for the clam. A massive Alaskan Bull Worm strikes Bikini Bottom in a feeding frenzy in "Sandy, SpongeBob, and the Worm". Sandy jests that she'll help defeat the monster for a price, which immediately freaks Mr. Krabs into defending his cash register and howling he would rather the worm eat everyone alive, foaming at the mouth in saying so.

Iniquity: Paring well with Krabs's Greed++ in cruelty is his Iniquity. As stated before, if getting money is the matter, then Mr. Krabs hardly cares about what has to be sacrificed, including his employees' paychecks, sleep, return to home, or stamina. He is also willing to cheat, lie to, or hurt his customers if doing so causes his wallet to get fatter.

Sandra "Sandy" Cheeks (Standard NN)
"One of the smartest citizens of Bikini Bottom is a squirrel by the name of Sandy Cheeks. From her treedome, she runs scientific experiments and constructs machinery with a variety of purposes. She is one of the friends in SpongeBob's circle and occasionally acts as the Voice Of Reason when he and Patrick act out."

Pro (Score 4.5)
Athleticism: Sandy's muscles hold more strength than what meets the eye. Her physique is on par with that of a regular beach hunk's, able to hoist a giant anchor high above her head before tossing it several yards away. This aides her in the sports she may play such as volleyball and extreme games.

Elemental Resistance-: Water: Sandy is a squirrel, and as such, she cannot naturally breathe underwater. However, her specialized suit enables her to circumvent this inability to move with the fluency of a sea creature. This Pro UnTrait is only granted to Sandy through this suit. Without it, she must stay in her air-filled treedome to continuously breathe.

Fighting Spirit: Among Sandy's favorite things to do is play karate with SpongeBob. The two of them are shown to be equally matched in earlier episodes, especially "Karate Choppers", the episode to introduce this. Outside of martial arts, Sandy has the strength to fend for herself against an attacker like a huge clam. Sandy is told of a massive worm in "Sandy, SpongeBob, and the Worm" and is filled with the urge to take it on.

Intelligence+: Sandy is a Scientist, which means this Pro UnTrait of hers is hardly out of place. She's able to build high-level devices like a Teleporting Machine, fully-functional rocket ship, jetpack, and possibly the treedome she resides in.

With his college-level education and intelligence, Plankton can devise multiple-step plans to obtain the greatest treasure the Krusty Krab owns: its secret to the Krabby Patty's recipe that is held in its formula. He can also build a Giant Robot, regular-size robots, a robot wife, a robot duplicate of Mr. Krabs and SpongeBob, a true mind control device, and an ingredient analysis machine. Luck is rarely on this microorganism's side, being foiled countless times in his schemes by his arch-rival Eugene Krabs and his number-one employee."

Guilt: Plankton's Undying Willpower drives him to do what it takes to finally own the Krusty Krab's highest Top Secret. He never lets the crushing losses knock him out of the mood to try just one more time to claim his taste of success. SpongeBob, the fry cook responsible for the oh-so popular sandwich, is Plankton's biggest individual target. He took over SpongeBob's brain, got him to work at his restaurant, and built a robot to trick the sponge.

Intelligence: He went to college.

Power-: Plankton is the owner of the Chum Bucket, the single rival to the Krusty Krab. However, as he lacks any workers or customers, only the fact that he runs his own establishment grants him this Pro UnTrait.

Con (Score 3)
Animosity: Plankton pits himself against Mr. Krabs, the one behind Bikini Bottom's most successful fast-food restaurant, and does what he can to get the upper hand on his enemy. This old dispute is always initiated by Plankton in one of his efforts to get himself the Krabby Patty recipe, which is an aggression that never serves him well in any real way.

Frailty: The tiny size Plankton must live at disadvantages him greatly. The most humiliating downsize to standing so short is being easily crushed by those bigger than him, which includes everyone. He is sometimes trampled to a pulp by somebody who didn't see him, only adding to the pain of his tininess. In addition, Plankton has no way of defending himself from the foot from above. When he's stepped on, he loses instantly.

Misfortune: It isn't easy being Plankton. He leads an existence where failure mocks him every waking moment of his life. He has no customers to do business with, no employees to boss around, no food to serve, no real wife to love, and no secret Krabby Patty formula to put Krabs out of business once and for all. In "F.U.N.", Plankton makes yet another empty attempt to capture his Greatest Treasure to be openly mocked by multiple people on his way down the street.
