The grumpy neighbor who just wants some peace and quiet.
Squidward Quincy Tentacles is a character in Nickelodeon's animated television series SpongeBob SquarePants. Created and designed by marine biologist Stephen Hillenburg, he is voiced by Rodger Bumpass and first appeared in the pilot episode "Help Wanted" on May 1, 1999.
After importing Squidward into Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream, lower the voice pitch and tilt the tone toward weary on LTD's new voice sliders to land Rodger Bumpass's nasal sigh — those sliders are an LTD-exclusive Mii Maker option that doesn't exist in the Switch system Mii Maker.
Keeps emotions tucked away inside but has a rich inner life. Introspective, independent, and deeply thoughtful.In Tomodachi Life, set this Mii's sliders so Speech + Movement totals 0–3 and Thinking + Energy totals 0–3. See the full Observer guide →
Why this fitsSquidward's defining trait across the series is wanting everyone to leave him alone with his clarinet — withdrawn, sarcastic, quietly cynical. That guarded profile fits Observer (low Speech + Movement, low Thinking + Energy).
To make a Squidward Mii in Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream, open Mii Maker and pick a long oval face with a turquoise-blue skin tone, a long nose, drooping eyes, and a permanently bored mouth, then dress him in his brown-and-white work shirt. The picker-by-picker walkthrough below works for both Nintendo Switch (LTD) and 3DS (original Tomodachi Life).
Use the system Mii Maker, then bring the Mii into Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream.
Diagrams show where the option sits in the Mii Maker picker (4 columns, scroll to reach later rows). Editor menus differ slightly between regions and console revisions — if an exact option is missing, pick the closest one.

This is a 3DS-format Mii QR code generated from Squidward's Mii data. On a Nintendo 3DS, open Mii Maker → QR Code / Image Options → Scan QR Code and point the camera at it, then bring the Mii into the original Tomodachi Life. The Switch / Switch 2 has no camera, so it can't scan Mii QR codes — for Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream use the step-by-step instructions above (or the online Mii creator).

Feature → the move to make in Mii Maker
A long, oddly-shaped oval face with a long, prominent nose — pick the longest face shape and the largest nose option.
Droopy, half-lidded, perpetually bored eyes over a flat, unimpressed mouth — choose drooping eyes and a neutral-to-downturned mouth.
Aim for a turquoise / blue-green colour theme, and dress him in his brown-and-white Krusty Krab work shirt after import.
His turquoise blue-green skin
Mii Maker's skin palette has no turquoise, so pick the palest, coolest tone available and let the long face, long nose and bored eyes carry the likeness.
Six tentacle-legs
Squidward is an octopus, and Mii Maker builds human bodies with arms and legs — there's no way to render tentacles, so this is an inspired-by, human-form Squidward.
Despite his name, Squidward is canonically an octopus, not a squid.
Hillenburg explained that Squidward is normally drawn with six limbs instead of the usual eight because it was "just simpler" to animate.
He works as the cashier at the Krusty Krab and lives in an Easter Island moai head between SpongeBob's pineapple and Patrick's rock.
He has a passion for art and the clarinet, but the show makes clear he has no actual talent for either.
Kelpy G
His all-time musical idol — the effortlessly talented clarinet-playing octopus Squidward worships and dreams of becoming.
SpongeBob
His relentlessly cheerful next-door neighbour and Krusty Krab coworker — the source of most of Squidward's exasperation.
Recreate Kelpy G as his own Mii and house him near your Squidward Mii to stage the superfan dynamic — but Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream won't recreate the show for you. Friendships there grow from proximity and shared time, so whether Squidward gets to live beside his idol is down to how you play.
No — Mii Maker has no turquoise skin tone and no tentacles, since it builds human-shaped Miis. This is an inspired-by, human-form Squidward; the long face, long nose and droopy bored eyes carry the likeness.
Canonically he's an octopus, despite the "squid" in his name. Hillenburg drew him with six limbs rather than eight just to make him easier to animate — a fun detail to mention when you show off your Mii.
Observer fits him best — set low Speech + Movement with low Thinking + Energy in the panel above. It matches his withdrawn, sarcastic, leave-me-alone-with-my-clarinet temperament.
Yes — LTD adds exclusive voice pitch, speed and tone sliders in its in-game Mii Maker (not in the Switch system editor). Lower the pitch and tilt the tone toward weary to land Rodger Bumpass's nasal sigh.
