She gleefully brought shipwrecks to the surface, inadvertently providing Eric the perfect means to retaliate, without realizing his strength and skill as a sailor. By the time her fatal mistake was realized, it was too late, and she was easily impaled by the broken bow of Eric's ship before she could react.
It was these negative traits and mistakes that eventually led to Ursula's painful, yet justified, death. Though it is ambiguous as to whether or not Ursula knew she was evil, she makes it clear in song to Ariel that she is aware of her infamous reputation among the merfolk and appears to agree with and embrace their assessment. Some media, such as the Disney Villains book, back this up. Ursula is a morbidly obese octopod, classified as a cecaelia half human, half octopus.
She has light lavender skin, short white hair, and her body, from the waist down, is black with six tentacles dotted by violet suckers. The area around her eyes is a darker shade than the rest of her face. Her eyes are gray and she has a mole near the right side of her mouth. She is always seen wearing makeup; in particular, she has aqua blue eye shadow, deep red lipstick, and red nails.
For jewelry she wears purple shell earrings and a gold nautilus shell necklace. Ursula's alter-ego, Vanessa, looks like what could be considered a "mean girl" version of a Disney Princess. In many respects, she resembles Ariel with her striking beauty, slim figure, and long hair. It is believed that this was deliberate, to match Eric's hazy recollection of the woman on the beach. However, it's not difficult to tell them apart.
Vanessa has olive skin, dark brown hair black when wet that is parted down the middle rather than brushed to the side like Ariel's, higher cheekbones, and violet eyes in contrast to Ariel's bright blue which are accented by highly arched eyebrows. The latter feature gives Vanessa a more mischievous expression, especially when she's pleased with herself.
Vanessa wears three outfits during her appearance on screen: the first is a sleeveless blue dress under a deeper blue corset. She wears this and black shoes on the beach when hypnotizing Eric, along with a long black cape, but is later seen without the cape. Her second outfit is simply the vanilla-colored slip she later wears under her wedding dress and black flats. Her final outfit is the aforementioned wedding dress, a long white affair with ruffles covering the front and a split skirt, revealing the slip underneath.
This dress has large puffs at the sleeves, much like Ariel's. She also wears a long, opaque white veil on her head and a pair of white high heels.
With all three outfits, she wears Ursula's golden nautilus pendant which contains Ariel's voice. That is, until Scuttle destroys it at the end of the movie. Ursula's magical abilities, even without the Trident, were very potent.
She was able to concoct various potions to create various spells, including mass-transfer implied during the song "Poor Unfortunate Souls" as well as physically altering people's bodies, as evidenced by her transforming Ariel into a human, as well as her own transformation into Vanessa and Ursula although in the case of Vanessa, she needed Ariel's voice to disguise her own.
However, she was incapable of altering her reflection, which is eventually how her enemies got the drop on her. It is also implied that she was capable of generating storms and may have electrokinetic abilities even prior to gaining the trident, since storm clouds were generated the very second the sunset on the third day, and she utilized lightning bolts from the storm clouds to transform back into her original form.
When it comes to physical powers, Ursula possesses Superhuman Strength, though not as strong as Triton, yet strong enough to throw a mermaid towards a rock, as what she did to Ariel in the alternate ending of the movie. She was also able to implant voices into Flotsam and Jetsams' heads to relay orders to them, as indicated by her debut scene in the movie.
She was also capable of creating poisonous ink clouds which could absorb the energy of the Trident and enhance Ursula's power. Her most dangerous ability, however, was her ability to turn people into polyps should they fail to fulfill their end of the bargain via contracts, having done so multiple times under unspecified circumstances, nearly did so with Ariel, and successfully did so with Triton.
It's also implied that she absorbs their souls while transforming them into polyps, making herself more powerful in the process. Likewise, once the contract is made, it is indestructible even to someone as powerful as Triton.
Presumably, this arcane power is one-way, as she does not end up becoming a polyp for failing to fulfill her end of the contract. In fact, the only way to completely stop a contract short of fulfilling it is via her death, as evidenced when the polyps turned back into merpeople by the aftermath of her death at the hands of Prince Eric.
When Ursula first appears in the film, she states through a monologue that she once lived in the royal palace of King Triton , the king of the underwater city of Atlantica. She was banished from Atlantica and made her home in the remains of a leviathan where she waits the chance to get her revenge on Triton and become Queen of Atlantica.
She currently resides in a leviathan home lined with a garden of writhing polyps which were merfolk who had previously gone to Ursula for help, but found themselves unable to fulfill their side of the bargain, leading Ursula to claim them as her own and added them to her collection. Though she remains powerful, Ursula laments her distaste for her living conditions, and secretly watches over King Triton's youngest daughter, Ariel , believing her to be "the key to Triton's undoing".
With time, Ursula's assumptions are proven correct, as Ariel one day meets and falls in love with a human prince, named Eric , against Triton's explicit rules. Ursula commands her minions, moray eels Flotsam and Jetsam , to lure Ariel to her lair, claiming that only she can help make the princess' dreams of living on the surface, beside her apparent true love, a reality. Little does Ariel realize that this is part of Ursula's scam to take the kingdom.
Through the song " Poor Unfortunate Souls ", Ursula proposes an agreement where she will transform Ariel into a human for three days, during which Ariel must receive the "kiss of true love" from Eric. If Ariel succeeds, her transformation into a human will be permanent, but if she fails, she will turn back into a mermaid and be bound to Ursula for eternity.
The price for the transformation is Ariel's voice which Ursula will keep no matter what happens. Ariel agrees and signs a contract that Ursula has conjured. As Ursula orders Ariel to sing, the sea witch summons magical hands to rip out Ariel's voice, which is then magically pulled into Ursula's Nautilus shell necklace. She then laughs gleefully as her plans begin to unfold: Ariel's tail is split into legs.
As she laughs, Ursula allows Sebastian and Flounder to take the human Ariel to the surface. During the time that Ariel is a human and must win a kiss of true love from Eric in order to remain human permanently, Ursula takes every measure to prevent the kiss from occurring, such as when Flotsam and Jetsam tip over the boat in which Ariel and Eric are sitting on as the two are close to kissing.
Fearing that Ariel and Eric may actually fall in love and share a kiss before the deadline, Ursula decides to take matters into her own tentacles. With intent to sabotage Ariel's relationship with Eric so she can continue with her evil plan, Ursula takes the form of a beautiful human female with Ariel's voice. Under the alias "Vanessa", Ursula bewitches Eric to marry her. However, Ariel's seagull companion, Scuttle , discovers Ursula's villainy and quickly alerts Ariel and King Triton's court composer, Sebastian , who rushes off to alert the king.
However, the sun sets before Ariel and Eric can kiss and Ariel transforms back into a mermaid. Ursula changes back to her true form, grabs Ariel and jumps back into the sea, where she is confronted by King Triton.
Ursula reveals her true goal and forces Triton to choose between his freedom and his daughter's. Triton agrees to take Ariel's place, and once Triton is transformed into a polyp, Ursula takes his crown and trident. Furious with Ursula's trickery, Ariel attacks the sea witch, who immediately retaliates and threatens to destroy the former with the power of the trident.
Before she can, Ursula is attacked with a harpoon by Prince Eric. Flotsam and Jetsam are sent to capture the Prince and successfully do so while dragging him down into the sea before Sebastian and Flounder rush to the prince's aid.
Ursula readies a killing shot for Eric, but Ariel grabs hold of her hair, thus redirecting the blast towards Flotsam and Jetsam—killing them. Saddened and enraged by the death of her minions, Ursula seeks vengeance on Ariel and magically alters herself to a massive size.
With her new form, Ursula declares herself as ruler of the entire ocean and creates a powerful storm. Eric takes control of a surfaced ship while Ursula's attention is on Ariel. As Ursula wickedly taunts the idea of "true love" and prepares to kill Ariel using the power of the trident, Eric impales the sea witch by plunging his ship's splintered bow through her abdomen.
Ursula screams in pain, and the bow catches lightning, brutally electrocuting her body. As Ursula loses her last ounces of life, she drops onto the ship and sinks into the sea as her dismembered body falls to the ocean floor. After Ursula's fate was sealed, all the merfolk that have had been under her power, including Triton, are released from their bonds and transform back into their original forms and with Ursula and her minions gone for good, Ariel was able to return to her human form, and she and Eric were finally able to kiss for the very first time, marry, and live happily ever after.
Ursula appears as the main villain of the Little Mermaid prequel television series, which takes place one year prior to her death in the original film. In all of these episodes, she executes various plans to antagonize King Triton and take over Atlantica.
Contrary to the film canon where Ariel first meets Ursula during their deal, Ariel is shown to interact with Ursula more, usually foiling her schemes. In "Against the Tide", Ursula has been experiencing failures in her most recent magic spells. She believes it to be the work of an odd sea creature that is said to cause bad luck whenever it's around.
Ursula decides to destroy the creature, but Ariel rescues it, as she believes it to be harmless. Eventually, the creature's whereabouts have been located at Triton's palace, and Ursula invades the palace during King Triton's homecoming. She prepares to eliminate the beast by using the stolen magic of the trident, though Sebastian was clever enough to make a makeshift version of the creature, and trick Ursula into destroying it instead.
With the beast supposedly gone, Ursula departs. She offers him a wish if he can recover a rare artifact holding great power.
Luckily, Zeus is able to subdue Ursula and revert her curse. In "Heroes", Apollo, a legendary hero who once saved Atlantica from Ursula and her army of octopi, returns to Atlantica, just when Ursula decides to revive her old army in an attempt to dominate Atlantica once more. Like the previous battle, however, Apollo prevails with the help of the fire-breathing Sea Dragon. It is also implied in this episode that the reason behind her exile was because she tried to create copies of the Trident, referred to as dark tridents, for the aforementioned army against Atlantica.
Lastly in "Ariel's Treasures", Ursula enchants the human items in Ariel's grotto, in an attempt to wreak havoc on Atlantica. Although Ursula doesn't make a physical appearance in the direct-to-video sequel, she makes a cameo and is mentioned various times, mostly by her sister younger Morgana , also a Cecelia, but with eight tentacles instead of six.
Ursula, herself, can be seen in a picture within Morgana's lair. Interestingly, she serves as the driving force for Morgana's story arc, though not exactly in the sense of revenge. Rather, Morgana feels eliminating Triton and stealing the throne would prove her superiority over her sister, as the former spent most of her life in Ursula's shadow.
At the end of the film, after Morgana is imprisoned frozen in an iceberg and forced to sink to the darkest depths of the sea, the framed picture of Ursula makes one last appearance, sinking alongside her.
In the deleted, yet fully animated song " Gonna Get My Wish ", a younger Ursula makes a brief appearance in the form of a flashback, alongside Morgana and their mother.
The scene also gives a visual representation of Ursula's past and relationship with Morgana. In their youth, Ursula wears a purple bow tied to her hair. The TV series listed her kind as Octopins. Her ability to express herself will bring her more power than her ability to conform to societal pressures.
Ariel signs the contract completely of her own free will. Ariel feels like she is too old to be treated like a child, but acts like one throughout the entire movie. Ursula did nothing wrong. The contract states that Ariel must give Ursula her voice which is the part of Ariel that the human fell in love with and in exchange, Ursula will make Ariel human for three days.
Ariel stays human forever if she can get the human to kiss her by the end of the third day. I think the big parenting lesson in The Little Mermaid is that our fear for our kids can potentially kill our relationship with them and even ultimately kill us. Main article: The Little Mermaid video game Taking place after Eric skewered Ursula in the original film, Ariel and Eric are planning to wed, but the sea-witch Ursula somehow resurrected has taken control of the ocean.
So Ariel becomes a mermaid once more and sets off to rescue the sea. She wants to become human so that her soul may live on after she dies, and to do that she must get the prince to love her.
In this fairy tale, mermaids eat fish, sea vegetables and a dash of fat following the Zone Diet, of course , which is how they get their healthy and youthful appearance. As it turns out, seaweed, a primary vegetable in their diet, has numerous health benefits that could help you embrace your inner mermaid.
Special Restrictions: Must be cast underwater. Comments: Ursula used this spell several times. Cost: Special Restrictions: The voice must be retained in some container. The caster may dismiss the transformed state at will.
Casting Time: 01 Necessary Components: None. Special Restrictions: None. Ursula used this spell again on herself to take the form of Vanessa. This Trident is still the property of King Triton by the end of the film.
The stats here represent its demonstrated abilities. This powerful artifact is probably capable of much more. Flotsam and Jetsam Flotsam and Jetsam are a pair of large, intelligent moray eels. Each have one white eye and one yellow eye, opposite each other. When Ursula uses her Eye of the Cat spell to view through their eyes their white eye will glow a dark yellow.
She has a very serious problem. If only there was something we could do… but there is something. Ursula could have the Altered Anatomy Drawback since she is unique even among mer-folk.
Although it would only be for her lower half and may not be different enough from the normal mer-person to warrant the drawback. So, I have left it off this writeup. Wealth is not revealed in any capacity, however, Ursula does use components in her spells. By Ethan Roe. Real Name: Ursula. Other Aliases: Vanessa. In: Octopus and Squid Yes, most octopuses and their relatives in the cephalopod family squirt some manner of ink, although deep-sea cephalopds usually squirt a bioluminescent equivalent that leaves their would-be predator at risk of attack in the darkest parts of the ocean.
She is an octopus for sure. Phil wrote: Cecaelia, you're breaking my heart You give him props, I give him a noogie.
Sep 28, PM. I'll give him a wet willie. Whew, I survived without a wedgie. It can be arranged Aug 09, AM. NO NO NO you're all wrong and not Little Mermaid aficionado's like I am, and I'm sad to burst your bubbles but Ursula is in fact a Squid the reason why she's in a so called cave dwelling witch in fact she lives in the innards of a dead sea creature is because she was banished there by her brother King Triton you all should pay close attention to this movie. Aug 10, PM. Well, she squirts ink.
