Character from SpongeBob SquarePants by Stephen Hillenburg / Nickelodeon
Squidward's wealthy arch-rival from high school band class — a successful, ostentatious octopus who has achieved everything Squidward dreams of and is careful to make sure Squidward knows it.
Squilliam is rich, fancy, and openly condescending — not out of cruelty exactly, but out of a deeply held belief that success confers a kind of moral authority. He speaks in a mocking tone calibrated precisely to remind Squidward of every failure while appearing gracious. He is not entirely without charm, which makes him worse. People like him despite his behavior. Mostly because he is very, very rich. The Squilliam-Squidward rivalry is technically one-sided in that Squidward suffers and Squilliam mostly forgets to care. Every encounter ends the same way. Squidward has not stopped trying.
An octopus similar in build to Squidward but with the bearing of immense wealth. Wears a maroon smoking jacket with purple collar and a purple ascot. His most distinctive feature is a single large black unibrow, which he considers his calling card and has replicated in gilded doorknobs as a decorative object. He carries himself with the lightness of someone for whom everything is effortless.
Also known as: Squilliam, Squilliam Fancyson III
