In addition to the ten main characters, SpongeBob SquarePants has over 300 background characters. They are identified by the artists and animators with individual model numbers. These model numbers usually correspond to when the characters were designed in production. The following is a list of background characters, sorted by their model numbers.

Many of the earliest incidentals originated as storyboard drawings and became numbered incidental designs later, when multiple season 1 episodes were already storyboarded (but not yet shipped to Rough Draft Studios for animation). The customer from "Pizza Delivery," the seventh episode made for season 1 in production order (code #107) but the third episode to be storyboarded, was the basis of Incidental 6 from "Squeaky Boots," the second episode made for season 1 in production order (code #102).

Some characters, such as Incidental 35 and Incidental 70, were cut from the model sheets during revisions in season 2, only to reappear in later season 13 episodes. Several incidentals with later numbers appear in episodes before others with earlier numbers; this is due both to many SpongeBob episodes being worked on at the same time, like most animated series, and to numbers not necessarily being assigned in order of appearance, as with Rock Bottomites from season 1 having later numbers than an out-of-appearance-order assortment of characters from up through season 11.

A layout featuring most of the regular incidental characters, the most commonly used incidentals in the series.

Regular incidentals

These incidentals have no prefix letter and are the most commonly used background characters in the series. Most of these incidentals were introduced in the first two seasons while a smaller majority of them were introduced in later seasons such as season 3 and onwards, although most of these lie within the 159-189 range. Some of them have also started out as minor or one time characters in their debut appearance only for them to eventually evolve into incidental characters in the future. The SpongeBob crew groups these incidentals into categories called "incidental types" based on their shapes or features. The currently known types are "hotdog," "weirdo," "inbetween," "medieval", "elderly", "17th century fish", and "deep sea." A few incidentals also have at least one alternate model. These alternate models have the same general design as the base model with some changed features. These alternate models are labeled with the suffixes "A," "B," and so on in alphabetical order.
