 and featured as a , rather than a seagull. However, still retains humor, "knowledge" of human items and a good friend of Ariel.

== Background ==
=== Personality ===
Scuttle is a bird that doesn't think either long enough or too quickly, often jumping into topics she doesn't actually know much about, but claims otherwise. She is also quite eccentric and easily inclined to chatter about anything and everything. She likes to report the rumors she hears. Scuttle's intelligence is very muddled, tending to be wrong about most human objects found and not even seeing at first glance that Ariel had become human. However, Scuttle is extremely devoted to her friends.
=== Physical appearance ===
Scuttle is a white gannet with a golden tinge covering her head, including ruffled feathers that stand up straight. The tips of her wing feathers are black, as are her feet and the black lines around her eyes. Her beak is white and her eyes are light green.
==Role in the film==
Ariel first encounters Scuttle who dives underwater to talk to Ariel where she approaches her showing her a fork which she collected from the sunken ship which Scuttle curiously interacts with the fork. Ariel attempts to show her another object to her only for Sebastian to interrupt, fearing that Ariel missed the Coral Moon, reminding her to return to King Triton. She then appears observing Ariel who rescued Prince Eric during a storm, landing on a rock where Sebastian is observing Ariel just before she sings a reprise of "Part of Your World" to Eric.
Scuttle then encounters Ariel on a boat who recently transformed into a human where she sees her unusual appearance which Sebastian tells her about Ariel who recently received a pair of legs from Ursula after she made a deal with her while Sebastian replies to Scuttle about Ariel's legs just before a fisherman named "Joshua" shoos her away to keep birds away from his boat. Later on, Scuttle attempted to help Ariel fall in love with her love interest Eric which Ariel's attempt to fall in love with Eric was unsuccessful. The next day, Scuttle flies into Eric's castle and approaches Sebastian who recaps that Ursula put a spell on Ariel and while speaking of her, Scuttle sees the boots that Ariel took off while trying to adjust her life in the castle. He later approaches Eric who is talking with Ariel where he engages in a private conversation where he plans to send out all carriages to look for Ariel, worried that the Queen would not allow him to go on anymore voyages until he feels better, planning to spare one carriage so that Eric looks for Ariel.
On the second day, Scuttle reports to Sebastian if Ariel kissed Eric yet, which he tells her to find Flounder who would help Ariel fall in love with Eric. That night, Eric encounters Scuttle grabs the hat that Eric was wearing earlier, mistaking her for an owl, only for Eric to retrieve it back. With Flounder and Scuttle next to her, Scuttle prepares for a romantic stimulation to help Eric fall in love with Eric. During the musical number "Kiss the Girl", Scuttle commands a group of lacewings to rub their wings to bring in the string music just before Sebastian sings. Throughout the song, Scuttle participates in singing with Sebastian and Flounder, encouraging Ariel to fall in love with Eric, only for Flotsam and Jetsam to knock the couple off the boat, failing the kiss.
On the third day, Scuttle heard rumors of Ursula (disguised as Vanessa) performing the musical number "The Scuttlebutt" where she alerts Sebastian about this, much to Ariel's surprise. Later, Scuttle approaches Sebastian on a rock where he urges her to find Ariel in the castle just before Flounder reports to Sebastian to arrive at the spot where Ariel is. Upon searching the castle, Scuttle sees that "Vanessa" is none other than Ursula in disguise upon seeing her reflection on the mirror, just as she reports to Ariel, Flounder, and Sebastian about Ursula planning to marry Eric. This leads Scuttle to help stop the wedding between Ursula and Eric. During the wedding, Scuttle begins to attack Vanessa, followed by Max, Eric's pet dog, who attempts to attack her and as the gannet and dog begin to attack, Ariel arrives to the spot where Scuttle and Max are disrupting the wedding. After Ariel confronts Vanessa, she breaks Ursula's necklace to free Eric who was hypnotized, just before Ursula reveals her true form, just as Scuttle, Sebastian, and Flounder retreat from her.
After Ariel marries Eric at the end of the film, Scuttle, Sebastian, and Flounder show Ariel a mermaid figurine just before leaving. Ariel then bids a farewell to Scuttle, Sebastian, and Flounder as Ariel and Eric start to travel around the world.
