==Personality==
As her closest friend and confidant, Flounder is incredibly faithful to Ariel, as well as protective. Part of his reasoning for joining her various exploits is to watch out for her should things go wrong. Though he would rather her hobbies were less perilous, Flounder will stick up to those who reprimand Ariel for her adventurous spirit, including King Triton at all times.
Flounder is essentially the polar opposite of Ariel. Flounder gets scared 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 (aside from Scuttle) to support Ariel's fascination with human things, and at one point gives Ariel a statue of Eric as a gift.
