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.

==Design==
==Appearance==
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.
