Bisk

"Hey, it's Bisk the spider crab! He's also the proud proprietor of Inkopolis Square's premier shoe shop, Shella Fresh. His many long limbs welcome customers one and all, and he exudes the type of laid-back cool you just can't teach."

- Squid Research Lab

Appearance
Bisk appears to be a tall, yellow spider crab who wears tall, white boots with black laces that resemble a knee-high variant of the Punk Whites, a black tank top, a necklace that appears to have a crab claw, and a flannel shirt tied around his waist. On his other legs, he has shoes which appear to be slip-ons but in different colors. He wears thick, white, oval-rimmed sunglasses. The two limbs on his head are seemingly supposed to simulate long, flowing blonde hair.
