According to the film 's official novelization, Eric had just turned 18 in the film, which would make him two years older than Ariel. Eric is voiced by Christopher Daniel Barnes in the original film and Kingdom Hearts II, by Jeff Bennett in the prequel television series, and by Rob Paulsen in the direct - to - video sequel. For the original film, Joshua Finkel acted opposite Sherri Stoner as Ariel in providing live - action references for the animators. Prince Eric is the only prince in the `` Disney Princess '' franchise that does not sing in the original movie. Eric is a human prince who is rescued by Ariel when he almost drowns in a storm at sea. Ariel drags him to shore and sings to him, but before he can fully regain consciousness, Max and his servant Grimsby arrive, forcing Ariel to dive underwater. Eric is haunted by Ariel 's voice, and searches the kingdom for her to no avail. When he crosses paths with Ariel again, she has traded her voice for legs, and though he initially finds her familiar, her lack of a voice makes him think that she can not be the girl who rescued him. However, he brings her back to his palace and they spend time together. Eric develops feelings for Ariel, but before he can approach her about them, Ursula, disguised as a human girl named Vanessa, arrives and magically hypnotizes Eric into forgetting about Ariel and believing that she Vanessa is the one who saved his life. Eric almost marries Vanessa, but Ariel and her friends intervene, breaking Ursula 's spell and restoring Ariel 's voice to her. Eric realizes that Ariel is the girl he has been looking for, but before they can kiss, the sun sets and Ursula claims Ariel. Eric goes after them, diving into the sea to help Ariel. In the battle that follows, Eric climbs on to a ship and charges it towards Ursula, plunging the splintered prow into her belly. Eric manages to reach the shore, and when he wakes, he sees Ariel, transformed back into a human, and the two embrace. The film ends with their wedding. Eric makes cameo appearances in three episodes of the prequel television series : Thingamajigger ( a non-speaking appearance ) Scuttle and Ariel 's Treasures. In the 2000 direct - to - video sequel, Eric is a supporting character. Although he and Ariel are happily married and they become king and queen of his land, they are threatened by the sea witch Morgana, who wishes to avenge her dead sister, Ursula. He and Ariel decide to raise their daughter Melody away from the sea, and keep her merfolk heritage secret. In the 2007 Broadway musical, the role of Eric was originated by Sean Palmer. It is explained through dialogue that Eric 's father has died, and it is Grimsby 's duty to help Eric find a bride so he can return to the throne properly, despite Eric 's affinity for exploring the seas. Eric contributes singing vocals to the opening song `` Fathoms Below '', and performs two solo songs : `` Her Voice '', a song about Eric 's obsession with Ariel 's voice that had been written for the original film but discarded, and `` One Step Closer '', a new song where Eric helps Ariel express herself through dance. Eric also provides vocals in the quartet `` If Only '', where he expresses confusion over his attraction to Ariel, and his fear that if he finds the girl with the right voice, he might lose Ariel. A new subplot in the stage musical is a singing competition where the eligible princesses in all the land are invited to sing for Eric. The princesses perform in the song `` The Contest '', which is set to the tune of Ariel 's song `` Part of Your World ''. At the end of the performance, Ariel dances for Eric, and he chooses her. The role was also performed by Drew Seeley. Prince Eric appears in season three of the ABC series Once Upon A Time, where is played by actor Gil McKinney. He first appears in the episode `` Ariel '' in which he was rescued by Ariel from drowning, and Ariel has used her once - in - a-year ability to gain legs to see him at his ball. Eric is enchanted by Ariel at the ball, commenting that she appears familiar to him. Eric invites Ariel to join him on an expedition around the world which is leaving the following morning. He waits for her as long as he is able, but she does n't come to him due to events beyond her control. It is later revealed that Eric was transported to the town of Storybrooke after The Evil Queen / Regina Mills cast a curse over his land. Ariel, who now has the ability to become human whenever she wants, later finds Eric working as a fisherman in Storybrooke and the two of them reunite. Sebastian Main article : Sebastian ( The Little Mermaid ) Sebastian is a red Jamaican crab and a servant of king Triton, and also his main musical composer. His main song is `` Under The Sea ''.

Flounder scares easily, and is prone to panicking under stressful situations like a single shark breaching the sunken ship, but when Ariel is in trouble, he comes through for her without hesitation. In the film he is the only character to give unconditional support for Ariel 's fascination with human things, and at one point gives Ariel a statue of Eric as a gift. Flounder appears in all the episodes of the prequel television series, sharing constant adventures with Ariel and in the episode `` The Evil Manta '', shown how he first met Ariel when they were children. According to the television series, Flounder 's real name is `` Guppy Number 35 ''. In the series, he is voiced by Edan Gross and Bradley Pierce. Flounder also appears in Jim Henson 's Little Mermaid 's Island where he has a twin sister named Sandy and is voiced by Veronica Taylor. Flounder has a small role in The Little Mermaid II : Return to the Sea, where he is reunited with a grown - up Ariel and takes part in the search for Ariel and Eric 's daughter Melody. He grew up and became a father himself, with five children of his own and he first meets Melody in Morgana 's lair. In this film, he is voiced by Cam Clarke. He has a larger role in The Little Mermaid : Ariel 's Beginning, which shows an alternate version of how he first meets Ariel and later unknowingly leads her to the Catfish Club. His characterization is notably different in this movie ; he does not scare as easily and is much more carefree and high - spirited. He performs beatboxing that kicks off a reprise of `` Jump In The Line ( Shake, Senora ) '' when he, Ariel, Sebastian and the Catfish Club Band are on the run from Atlantica. In this film, he is voiced by Parker Goris. Flounder appears in the Kingdom Hearts series, where his role as Ariel 's friend remains. His biggest role in the series is in Kingdom Hearts : Chain of Memories, where Ursula kidnapped him to force Ariel to give her the trident.

At the Disney theme parks, Flounder makes cameo appearances in the Mickey 's Philharmagic 3D show and in the Hong Kong Disneyland version of `` It 's a Small World ''. He has also appeared in the parks as a walk - around character, but mostly in parades, shows and special events such as `` Mickey 's Pirate & Princess Party ''. Flounder appears in the stage adaptation of The Little Mermaid. His supporting role is similar as in the film, but he does not give Ariel the statue of Eric, and does not help Ariel reach Eric 's wedding barge, as the Vanessa subplot has been removed. However, Flounder performs a new song titled `` She 's in Love '', which he sings with Ariel 's sisters when they notice that Ariel has been acting `` fishy lately ''. The stage role was originated by Cody Hanford and J.J. Singleton, but the two actors had to leave the show when their height overshot that of Sierra Boggess, who originated Ariel. The role was taken over by Trevor Braun and Brian D'Addario. On the Original Broadway Cast Recording, Brian D'Addario performs as Flounder. Scuttle Scuttle First appearance The Little Mermaid ( 1989 ) Last appearance The Little Mermaid : Ariel 's Beginning ( 2008 ) Created by Ron Clements and John Musker Voiced by Buddy Hackett ( film, sequel & The Little Mermaid : Songs from the Sea ) Maurice LaMarche ( all other appearances except ride ) Chris Edgerly ( The Little Mermaid : Ariel 's Undersea Adventure ) Scuttle ( scully ) is a seagull and friend of Ariel, voiced by Buddy Hackett in the 1989 film and 2000 sequel. He appears as an expert on human objects with whom Ariel consults about items she salvages, though his identifications consist of nonsense. He wrongly names a fork a `` dinglehopper '' and says that it is used as a comb, and a smoking pipe a `` snarfblatt '' while claiming it works like a trumpet. Despite his erroneous information on human things, Scuttle provides support and advice when he learns that Ariel has to win Eric 's heart in three days. On the third day, Scuttle is the one who discovers that Vanessa, the woman Eric has decided to marry instead, is actually Ursula. He immediately tells Ariel this information, and helps stall the wedding with help from other marine creatures so to allow Ariel to arrive and confront Eric ( as well as smashing Ursula 's shell that held Ariel 's voice, thus restoring it and freeing Eric from Ursula 's spell ). Scuttle appears in a small role in The Little Mermaid II : Return to the Sea, where he helps Ariel find her daughter Melody, who has run away. Scuttle appears in two episodes of the third season of the prequel television series in which he is voiced by Maurice LaMarche. The episodes he appears in are `` Scuttle '', where Ariel, Flounder and Sebastian meet him for the first time ( in which he claims his name was originally `` Scuttlebutt '' but he changed it `` for obvious reasons '' ), and `` The Island of Fear ''. In these episodes, Scuttle 's explanation of human things is a mixture of correct and erroneous. Scuttle also made a cameo appearance in an episode of Quack Pack. In The Little Mermaid : Songs from the Sea, Scuttle performs a song called `` The Scuttle Strut '' on track 3. Scuttle appears in the stage adaptation of the original film, where he sings two songs : `` Human Stuff '', where he explains the human things Ariel has brought to him, and `` Positoovity '', where he encourages a now - human Ariel to be positive in achieving her goal of winning Eric. The role is originated by Eddie Korbich. In the stage musical, Scuttle has a group of seagull friends, and together they perform a tap dance during the `` Positoovity '' number. Scuttle has a non-speaking cameo in The Little Mermaid : Ariel 's Beginning, appearing when Marina is on a rock at the surface ( animated the same way with Ariel when she sings a reprise for `` Part of Your World '' ) and is splashed by a wave. Ursula Main article : Ursula ( The Little Mermaid ) Ursula appears in the 1989 film. She is voiced by Pat Carroll, who also provides her vocals for all the canonical animated media. Ursula is based on the `` sea witch / sorceress '' character in Hans Christian Andersen 's story `` The Little Mermaid ''. Triton Triton First appearance The Little Mermaid ( 1989 ) Last appearance The Little Mermaid II : Return to the Sea ( 2000 ) The Little Mermaid : Ariel 's Beginning ( 2008 ) Created by Hans Christian Andersen ( original story ) Ron Clements & John Musker ( adaptation ) Voiced by Kenneth Mars ( 1989 film, TV series, sequel, Kingdom Hearts series ) Jim Cummings ( prequel film ) Aliases King Triton Sea King Red Triton is the king of Atlantica and Ariel 's father. In the Hans Christian Andersen version, the sea king is unnamed and is not prejudiced towards humans. In the first two films, the TV series and the Kingdom Hearts games, he was voiced by Kenneth Mars ; in the prequel film, he is voiced by Jim Cummings. According to the film 's directors Ron Clements and John Musker, the clashes of personality between him and Ariel is because they are both strong - willed and independent, and it is revealed in the television series that Triton and Ariel are stubborn. Triton wields a powerful trident, which is the source of his supposedly unlimited power. The character is inspired by the son of the Greek sea god Poseidon, although the actual Triton is from Greek mythology and has two finned feet. In The Little Mermaid, Triton is prejudiced towards humans, believing them to be nothing but savage fish eaters, and Ariel 's fascination with humans has caused their relationship to become very strained. According to Triton, it is illegal to make contact between humans and merpeople ; and he orders his servant, Sebastian, to look after Ariel. When Triton discovers that Ariel saved the life of and has fallen in love with a human, he loses his temper and destroys most of her grotto filled with her collection of human artifacts despite his daughter 's objections ; this action of his ultimately damages their relationship. Devastated by his recent actions, Triton orders a search for Ariel to apologize, not knowing that she has accepted Ursula 's deal and become a human. Triton is distraught over his daughter 's disappearance, and when Sebastian arrives with news of Ursula 's scheme, Triton goes to Ursula, offering to take his daughter 's place. He is transformed into a polyp, but when Ursula is killed by Eric, he is restored to his original form and regains his crown and trident. Realizing that Ariel truly loves Eric and that all his beliefs about all humans in general being bad ; were completely wrong, Triton willingly transforms his daughter back into a human. Triton is a regular character in the prequel television series, in which he is explicitly called the son of Poseidon. A number of episodes show him getting into conflict with Ariel, but it is always resolved in a positive manner, showing a close relationship between father and daughter ; for example, in the episode Charmed, when Ariel gets a human charm bracelet locked around her wrist, she could not return because Triton would lose his temper again after he destroyed a magnifying glass she discovered earlier. However, after Ariel gets lost, Triton eventually finds her and uses the key to unlock the bracelet and feels apologetic for his actions. In the episode `` Red '', Triton regresses into a young merboy, reversing the role as Ariel has to worry and take care of him instead. As a young boy, his nickname is `` Red '', for his red hair. Coincidentally, as a boy, Triton himself is fascinated with humans and human objects ; complete reversal of his prejudice towards humans as an adult. He sometimes agrees with Ariel in some episodes like `` Land of the Dinosaurs '', in which he understands that the dinosaurs are good after they have been thawed. Triton appears in the sequel The Little Mermaid II : Return To The Sea, in which he has learned to trust humans and interact with them. His weakness is his love for his granddaughter Melody, which is exploited by Morgana. However, when Triton regains his trident, he traps Morgana in a massive ice cube. In the 2008 direct - to - DVD prequel The Little Mermaid : Ariel 's Beginning, the prologue shows Triton with his wife Athena. Athena is accidentally crushed to death by a pirate ship, and a distraught Triton bans music from Atlantica and forces everyone to follow a strict daily schedule. Ariel 's free - spirited personality causes a strain on their relationship. He eventually comes to realize his mistakes, pardons Sebastian, lifts the ban on music and appoints Sebastian as his court composer. Jim Cummings replaces Kenneth Mars as the voice of King Triton, due to Mars 's pancreatic cancer diagnosis. In the stage musical, Triton is Ursula 's older brother, and reveals that a reason he is overprotective of Ariel is because she reminds him of her late mother. In this version, Triton and Ursula are equals, and when their father died, they were each given equal share of the sea and one magical item each ; Triton received the trident and Ursula received a magic Nautilus shell. When Ursula began to abuse her power, Triton exiled her, though he did not take away her Nautilus shell. The musical contains new songs that were written for his character ; `` That World Above ( reprise ) '' in which he confronts Ariel in her grotto and destroys it, `` If Only ( quartet ) '' in which he expresses regret over his behavior towards Ariel, and `` If Only ( reprise ) '' in which he lets Ariel go to be with Eric. The stage role is originated by Norm Lewis. In the Kingdom Hearts series of video games, Triton still plays the role of over-protective father and king of Atlantica. In the first game, his relationship with Ariel becomes strained due to his daughter 's desire to see other worlds, and he initially distrusts Sora, Donald and Goofy when they first arrive in Atlantica, having somehow heard of the negative part of the Keyblade legend, but eventually respects Sora when Ursula is defeated and locks the world 's keyhole. In Kingdom Hearts II, Triton 's relationship with Ariel is strained, this time thanks to Ariel 's fascination with the human world. He asks Sora, Donald and Goofy to take part in the music concert with Ariel, but Sora ignores Triton 's request and helps Ariel become human to find and fall in love with Eric. He is also part of the song called `` A New Day is Dawning ''. After Ursula is defeated once again, he respectfully bids a final farewell to Sora. He also appears in The Princess and the Frog as a parade float. Ariel 's sisters Aquata, Andrina, Arista, Attina, Adella and Alana First appearance The Little Mermaid ( 1989 ) Last appearance The Little Mermaid : Ariel 's Beginning ( 2008 ) Created by Hans Christian Andersen ( original story ) Ron Clements & John Musker ( adaptation ) Voiced by Attina : Caroline Vasicek ( first film ) Kath Soucie ( TV episodes ) Christie Houser ( Kingdom Hearts II ) Kari Wahlgren ( prequel film ) Alana : Kimmy Robertson ( TV episodes and first film ) Jennifer Hale ( prequel film ) Adella : Kimmy Robertson ( first film ) Sherry Lynn ( TV episodes ) Tara Strong ( prequel film ) Aquata : Caroline Vasicek ( first film ) Mona Marshall ( TV episodes ) Grey DeLisle ( prequel film ) Arista : Kimmy Robertson ( first film ) Mary Kay Bergman ( TV episodes ) Grey DeLisle ( prequel film ) Andrina : Kimmy Robertson ( first film ) Catherine Cavadini ( TV episodes ) Susan Stevens Logan ( Kingdom Hearts II ) Tara Strong ( prequel film ) Aliases Mersisters Ariel has six older sisters named Aquata, Andrina, Arista, Attina, Adella and Alana. They are the maternal aunts of Melody and the sisters - in - law of Eric. In the 1989 film, they are voiced by Kimmy Robertson and Caroline Vasicek, and perform the song `` Daughters of Triton. '' Later on in the film, Andrina, Attina, Adella and Aquata make a brief appearance together with Ariel in what appears to be the palace dressing room intended for all the sisters. In that scene, Ariel emerges from behind a curtain of seaweed swimming dreamily and humming a few lines from `` Part of Your World ''. The sisters notice the change in Ariel 's conduct and conclude in front of their father that Ariel is in love. All six sisters appear again in the end of the film together with King Triton, smiling and waving to Ariel after she gets married to Eric. In the second film, the sisters play a minor role with only Attina, Andrina, Aquata and Adella having dialogue, and Arista appearing in a non-speaking role. The age order of the sisters is debatable. In the original film, they sing `` Daughter of Triton '' and announce themselves in this order : Aquata, Andrina, Arista, Attina, Adella, Alana. This had led many to believe that was the proper birth order. Various official Disney media that was released from 1989 onward alsoseemed to use this as their birth order. The comic `` Serpent Teen '' stated that Aquata is the eldest and the future ruler, but the comic `` Underwater Wedding, '' clearly stated that Attina was the eldest. The 2008 film The Little Mermaid : Ariel 's Beginning also made it clear that Attina was the oldest. Also, the DVD 's Vanity Game feature states that the age order is Attina - 21, Alana - 20, Adella - 19, Aquata - 18, Arista - 17, Andrina - 16 and Ariel - 15. However, in the same film, Adella states that she is two years older than Ariel, meaning she would only be 17. Aquata has a blue tail and a matching seashell bra. She has brown eyes and wears her brown hair in a ponytail with white pearl decorations. In the prequel film she 's the fourth - born sister. She has a little pink seahorse doll named Mr. Fuzzyfinkle ; she argues with Arista because she steals her things and is hysterical and a very bad dancer.

She is voiced by Caroline Vasicek in the first film, Mona Marshall in the TV series, and Grey DeLisle in the prequel. Andrina has a purple tail and a magenta seashell bra.

She 's voiced by Kimmy Robertson in the first film, Cathy Cavadini in the TV series, and Tara Strong in the prequel. Arista has a red tail and a matching seashell bra. She has ice blue eyes and wears her pale blonde hair in a ponytail with dark pink decorations. In the television series, it is revealed that Arista and Ariel have a troublesome relationship and Arista admits she 's jealous of Ariel 's free spirit and envies her adventures. She is vain, ironical, selfish yet kind and helps her sisters in need. She 's also athletic. In the prequel film she 's the fifth - born sister and is a ditzy, sweet - natured kleptomaniac who borrows Aquata 's personal belongings without permission and argues with her every time. She also has a love of music ( possibly because she was named after Arista Records ), and quickly masters the trombone when she and her sisters watch Sabastian and his band perform. She is a minor character in the first film and makes a very brief cameo in the second film and is also a minor character in the TV series and is a main character in the prequel.

Attina has the motherly role of the family and blames herself for her mother 's death because her tail fins were stuck in a rock when the pirate ship bore down on the kingdom, and her mother swam out into the open to free her, causing Athena to be crushed by the bow of the ship. She is responsible and loves her sisters and cares for them as their mother. Aside from Ariel herself, she appears to be the sister who was closest to Athena ; she even keeps a picture of her mother and father on her vanity and writes in her diary that she wants to be just like her mother when she becomes queen. She is a minor character in the first and second film and the TV series and is a main character in the prequel. She 's voiced by Caroline Vasicek in the first film, Kath Soucie in the TV series, and Kari Wahlgren in the prequel. Adella has a yellow tail and a chartreuse green seashell bra.

They eventually manipulate Ariel into visiting Ursula in order to gain human legs. They are ultimately killed in the film 's climax when Ursula accidentally destroys them with King Triton 's trident after Ariel sabotages Ursula 's attempt to kill Eric.

Kuter ( The Little Mermaid II : Return to the Sea ) Information Aliases Grim Nationality Danish Grimsby is Eric 's manservant and confidant. He is voiced by Ben Wright in the original film. In the opening scene, Grimsby is shown as not having the stomach for the sea, and dismisses the sailors ' stories about merpeople living under the sea. Through dialogue, Grimsby reveals that he worries for Eric, and has been hoping that the prince will settle down with the right girl. For Eric 's birthday, Grimsby presents a statue he had commissioned of Eric in a dramatic pose. Though Eric and Max disapprove of the statue, Grimsby is proud of it. Later, when Ariel has become human, Grimsby grows fond of her and encourages Eric to give up his dream girl for one `` of flesh and blood ''. Grimsby appears briefly in the sequel, in which he is voiced by Kay E. Kuter. In the 2007 stage musical adaptation, Grimsby says that the reason he wants Eric to marry is because he ( Grimsby ) had made a promise to Eric 's late father to ensure it. Though Grimsby is reluctant to believe Eric 's story of being saved from drowning by a girl, he comes up with the idea of holding a contest in which the princesses of the land are to sing for Eric, in the hopes that one of them will be the right girl. In the stage musical, the role is originated by Jonathan Freeman. Max Max is an Old English Sheepdog and Eric 's pet. Unlike all the other animals in the film, Max is minimally anthropomorphic and does not speak in the human language. Max 's barking and growling is provided by Frank Welker throughout his animated incarnations. During Eric 's birthday celebration, Max catches Ariel 's scent and tracks her down, licking her on the cheek in an apparent show of affection. When the ship catches fire, the sailors escape safely, but Max is left behind. Seeing this, Eric dives out of his lifeboat and climbs back on board, grabbing Max and tossing him to safety. Later, when Eric is brought to shore safely by Ariel, Max smells out his master and rushes out to greet him. Max is also able to smell Ariel who is hidden off - shore behind rocks, but Eric does not understand his barking. After Ariel has made her deal with Ursula and is brought to shore as a human, Max leads Eric to her, recognizing her as the same person, though Eric can not. Eventually, Ursula herself appears in the guise of a human girl named Vanessa to distract Eric from kissing Ariel before the third day is up, but Max is the only character in the human world who can fully see Vanessa for who she really is and is seen growling furiously at her, and during her and Eric 's wedding, she kicks him directly in the face. When Scuttle and the sea animals try to stop the wedding, Max assists and gets his revenge by biting her in her rear end, giving Scuttle the leverage to break the conch shell containing Ariel 's voice. At Eric and Ariel 's wedding, Max gives affection licks on their faces. Max makes a few brief appearances in the prequel television series and the direct - to - video sequel, and is the only named character of the original film ( other than Vanessa ) who does not appear in the 2007 stage musical. Louie Louie is the chef in Eric 's castle, voiced by René Auberjonois. His accent implies that he is French, and he performs the song `` Les Poissons '' in which he happily cooks seafood in the castle kitchen. According to dialogue by Carlotta the house maid, Louie 's specialty is stuffed crab. This puts him at odds with Sebastian, who accidentally ends up in his kitchen and frantically tries to get away from him. This rivalry is extended to the wedding in the finale, where the chef again chases Sebastian in an attempt to cut him up. Sebastian defeats him by knocking him out with a wooden plank shattering his teeth. The rivalry is shown again in the sequel The Little Mermaid II : Return to the Sea, with no change between the two. He also stars in one of the episodes of Disney 's Marsupilami and Raw Toonage as a noise hating hotel guest with his victim, Sebastian as the hotel manager. Louie also makes an appearance in the episode `` Ariel 's Treasures '' where he accidentally steps on a whisk called a `` whirly twirly '' by Ariel and it slips into the water when he is making recipes. In the 2007 stage musical, Louie is head of a group of chefs that work in Eric 's castle. He performs the song `` Les Poissons ''. A reprise is performed by Louie and all the other chefs as they present their fish masterpieces to Ariel, Eric and Grimsby. Carlotta Carlotta works in Eric 's castle in a role suggested to be similar to a housekeeper, though it is not stated outright. She reappears in the sequel, apparently continuing her role after Eric and Ariel are married and have a daughter of their own. She is voiced by Edie McClurg. In the 2007 stage musical, Carlotta develops an affectionate maternal relationship with Ariel, whom she grows fond of.

Because Archimedes goes to the surface very often, his knowledge on human culture is far more accurate than Ariel 's ; prior to the latter becoming human herself and her marriage to Eric.

Until Morgana is found, Ariel vows to keep all knowledge of the sea from her, including her mermaid heritage. A magical locket that King Triton had made for Melody for the occasion is reluctantly thrown into the sea. Melody grows up banned from entering the sea and is not told why, but by her 12th birthday has been regularly sneaking out of the palace to swim in secret. On said birthday, Melody finds the locket with her name, and questions Ariel about it. Ariel and Melody argue, and before Ariel can apologize and explain, Melody runs away from the castle in a boat. Melody is discovered by Undertow and convinced to meet Morgana, who uses Melody 's love of the sea against her. Morgana transforms Melody into a mermaid, promising her that the transformation will last forever if Melody retrieves the trident from Triton, claiming that he stole it from Morgana. Wanting to be a mermaid forever, Melody agrees. While searching for the trident, Melody befriends a penguin named Tip and a walrus named Dash, and they join her in her search.

In the aftermath, Melody apologizes to Eric and Ariel for her actions, and Ariel apologizes for not telling Melody the truth.

However, she is not as powerful as Ursula and lacks her subtlety and deviousness, though she is highly cunning in her own right. She openly attacks Melody 's birthday party and uses her as a hostage to gain Triton 's trident, a ploy that fails due to Ariel 's quick thinking. Morgana escapes, and for twelve years eludes Triton 's efforts to find her. Morgana eventually meets twelve - year - old Melody, who has rebelled against her mother 's overprotective ways. Morgana lures Melody with the promise of becoming a mermaid, using the last of Ursula 's magic potion to transform Melody temporarily into a mermaid. Morgana asks Melody to get the trident for her, claiming herself to be its rightful owner. Morgana succeeds in getting the trident thanks to Melody, and proclaims herself as the new ruler of the seven seas. She is eventually stopped by Melody, who steals the trident back and gives it to King Triton. Triton then encases Morgana in an iceberg, and she is left to sink to the bottom of the ocean.

When Melody retrieves the trident, Morgana uses its magic to restore Undertow to his original form.

The fun ceases when a pirate ship appears and attacks the merpeople, during which Athena is crushed to death by the ship, whilst trying to save the music box. Triton responds to this tragedy by banning music from Atlantica. Prior to this film, Ariel 's mother had been mentioned before in the prequel television series, but had then remained nameless.
