  • Red-linked phrases should not be de-linked or pipe-linked if the phrase is from an official publication. Instead, please start an article or redirect at the link's target.
  • Technical info must be written in accordance with the consensus formats. Adding technical info without using these formats creates extra work for other editors and wastes everyone's time.
  • Trivia will be removed if it fails to meet the notability guidelines.
  • Do not source news to fansite translations of official publications or journals. Instead, source the publication or journal itself.

  • Entelechy is used here per its English definition, and is not meant to imply that it is an official term within the Kingdom Hearts franchise.
  • Do NOT add voice actors to a character's article UNLESS YOU HAVE A CLEAR SOURCE TO SUPPORT IT.

When [[Sora]], [[Donald Duck|Donald]], and [[Goofy]] first arrive, Flounder was chased by Heartless with Ariel and [[Sebastian]], but was saved by the trio. Because Sora and the others were new to the sea world, they did not know how to swim flexibly. Flounder, then became their instructor and was chased so he could teach them.

Flounder appears as a fragment of Sora's memories. In this story, he was sent to the surface by [[Ursula]] so she could use him to make Ariel steal the Trident from her father. Towards the battle, Ariel was supposed to choose between giving the Trident to Ursula or losing Flounder. Ariel willingly gave up the Trident so that Flounder would not lose his life, but Sora defeated Ursula in the end.

When Sora, Donald, and Goofy revisited them, Ariel was under deep depression. Flounder wanted to cheer her up, and so he showed them a statue that resembled [[Prince Eric]] and asked them to move it to Ariel's cave.

When Ariel was turned into a human for three days by sea witch Ursula, he and the others stayed near the princess to assist her. He is also present during most of the Atlantica songs, and in the last performance, sings with Sebastian before Sora and his friends set off.

Some time after Xemnas's defeat, Flounder attends the wedding of the now-human Ariel and Eric.
At the end credits, Flounder is seen watching as Ariel marries Eric, now in true human form.
 
==Design==
Flounder is a round, yellow fish that resembles a {{w|convict tang}}. He has sky blue stripes along his top side. His pectoral, dorsal, and tail fins have alternating sky blue and dark sky blue stripes. His dorsal fin lines his back and is frayed near the front, vaguely reminiscent of hair. He seems to have dark eyebrows, a round nose, and a pink, human-like tongue, all dissimilarities to real fish. Flounder's eyes are aquamarine.


==Personality==
==Appearance==
First and foremost, Flounder is Ariel's best friend. Regardless of how frightened he is, if Ariel is in trouble he will aid her without delay. Above all, he seeks to please Ariel and hates to see her down. This is evident in ''Kingdom Hearts II'' on Sora's first visit to Atlantica, when Flounder proposes the group frees a sunken human statue as an uplifting gift to Ariel. Other than his passion for helping his friends, Flounder is scared very easily and cannot handle stressful situations. Flounder is also a bit mistrustful of others until he knows them better, as seen in ''Kingdom Hearts'' when he first met Sora, Donald, and Goofy.
