Mermaids (Spongebob Squarepants)

The Mermaids are mythical creatures from the episode, Welcome To The Bikini Bottom Triangle. The mermaids are a group of five mermaids who used to live in the Bikini Bottom Triangle and steal many objects from Bikini Bottom. They are each similar to Princess Mindy. Ginnifer Goodwin voices the lead mermaid with purple hair, Lori Alan voices the red-haired mermaid, Jill Talley voices the blonde and blue-haired mermaids, and Sirena Irwin voices the dark purple-haired mermaid.

Biography
The mermaids are first seen stealing in Bikini Bottom from their singing. When Spongebob and Patrick are stuck at the Bikini Bottom Triangle they go look for the mermaids to ask them how to get out. The mermaid quintet only knows how to "surround themselves with cool new stuff" whenever they feel like. They call SpongeBob's dilemma "TNOP," which stands for "totally not our problem." SpongeBob tries to leave with Patrick but the latter is love-struck and decides to stay with the ladies. SpongeBob then goes back with Squidward, Mr. Krabs and Pearl to see the mermaids again for help, but they still refuse to help them. They then reject Patrick by throwing him onto Mr. Krabs for annoying them. They are then confused by Pearl's rants of wanting to go to the mall and asks her what a mall is before being excited by her explanation of it. They then decide to go with her to see it for themselves. They then sing their song backwards, after SpongeBob suggests it and doing so returns the enormous pile of the stolen objects back to Bikini Bottom. Once the items are back, they become friends with Pearl and excitedly go to the mall with her.
