==Biography==
Scuttle is first seen driving for food in the water, scaring Flounder. After eating a fish, Scuttle dives down, and Ariel shows her a fork she discovered on a sinking ship. Scuttle experiments with the fork and misinformed her that it was an instrument called a dinglehopper and humans use it to brush their hair. When Ariel attempts to show her another his artifact, Ariel, Scuttle and flounder are interrupted by Sebastian, who scolds the mermaid princess for being late for the Coral Moon. Scuttle says farewell to her friends as she, Flounder and Sebastian hurry to the palace. 
After Ariel saves the life of Prince Eric, Scuttle appears again, with Sebastian telling her that they will keep this information away from King Triton. However, Scuttle forgets, with Sebastian commenting that he is a dead crab. Later on, Scuttle attempted to help Ariel fall in love with her love interest by singing which was unsuccessful. During the musical number "Kiss the Girl", Scuttle sings with Sebastian and Flounder encouraging Eric to fall in love and kiss Ariel only for Flotsam and Jetsam to knock the couple off the boat.
On the third day, Scuttle heard rumors of Eric wanting to propose, much to Ariel's surprise. Assuming it was Ariel, but it was actually Ursula (disguised as Vanessa). Later, Scuttle sees that "Vanessa " is none other than Ursula in disguise upon seeing her reflection on the mirror, warns Ariel and Sebastian. Scuttle knows she has to stop the proposal between Ursula and Eric. She cause a commotion at the wedding giving Ariel time to arrive. After Ariel confronts Vanessa, she breaks Ursula's necklace to free Eric from hypnosis and regain her voice. 
After Ursula is defeated, Ariel marries Eric, she then bids a farewell to Scuttle, Sebastian, and Flounder as Ariel and Eric start to travel around the world.
==Personality==
Scuttle is a self-proclaimed expert on humans; but it is the exact opposite. She never call household objects by their proper name and gets their functions confused. For example, Scuttle mistakes a fork as a "dinglehopper" and claims people uses at to brush their hair. Additionally, it took her a few moments to realize Ariel was given legs until Sebastian pointed it out. However, Scuttle retains her sense of humor.
She is loyal to her friends, such as bring Ariel and Eric closer together and later warning her friends that "Vanessa" is the sea-witch in disguise.
