Barrie's classic children's novel titled Peter and Wendy published in 1911. The mermaids appear in many books and movies based on Peter Pan as well as in the Disney Fairies books and are usually given a brief cameo appearance due to having a small but memorable and important part in the story. The mermaids can mostly be found in Neverland's only lagoon where they have made their turf. They love to pamper themselves and play "mermaid games".

Biography[]

The mermaids dwell in the lagoon. They enjoy the company of Peter Pan but they are malevolent towards everyone else, including the fairies and the lost boys. They possess an enchanting beauty but they are offensive and irritating. Whenever someone tries to take a closer look(apart from Peter), they splash them relentlessly. They call humans "mortals", implying that they live forever and can remain young, even when they are away from Neverland. They lounge around in the Mermaid Lagoon without a care in the world. This is also the location of Marooner's Rock. It is not safe for mortals to visit Mermaid Lagoon at night.

They occupy the rock pools and the ocean around Marooners' Rock, and their homes are coral caves beneath the waves. They retire to their caverns at sunset and rising tide, as well as in anticipation of storms.

The mermaids change as the moon turns. They utter strange calls. This maybe the reason why the lagoon is so dangerous at night. Even Peter Pan stays away from these magical water maidens when night falls.

Appearances in Adaptions[]

Disney Peter Pan[]

The mermaids first appear in the 1953 animated movie when Peter Pan takes Wendy to their lagoon to meet them. Wendy is enchanted by their beauty and has always dreamed of seeing and meeting real life mermaids. Wendy watches, or rather spies on them from a safe distance as the mermaids lounge around on rocks to sunbath next to a waterfall, brushing their long hair, admiring their own reflections in the water and also adorning themselves with hair ornaments At first glance, the mermaids are all excited to see that Peter has come back to Neverland and is gracing them with his presence. After Peter says hello to them the mermaids ask him to tell them a story.

As they all gather around him to listen, he begins to tell them about the time he cut off Captain Hook's hand and threw it to the crocodile, but then they notice that he has brought a human girl along. They ask him why she is there, clearly envious and suspicious of Wendy. In an act of jealousy, the mermaids quickly gang up on Wendy and try to pull her into the lagoon with them. The mermaids taunt and mock Wendy and tease her for being in her nightgown. They mercilessly pull on her dress and hair, even ignoring Wendy when she tries to inform them she can't swim. The mermaids continue to deliberately splash her out of spite with their tails causing her to become soaking wet and upset to the point that she pickes up a large sea shell nearby to throw at them in defense. Seeing Wendy is very angry by the mermaid's rude actions, Peter stops her in time, telling her that they were only having fun, to which one mermaid casually replies that they were "We’re only trying to drown her." Suddenly, the entire lagoon becomes dark and gloomy, indicating an evil presence is close by. Sensing danger in the air, Peter looks around and spots Captain Hook and Smee rowing by in a rowboat with the captured Indian princess Tiger Lily. Peter warns Wendy that Hook is coming. Upon overhearing his name, the mermaids scream and become frightened, prompting them to jump back into the water and deep under the lagoon to hide and disappear.

Return to Never Land[]

The mermaids make a cameo in the sequel but don't have a speaking role unlike the previous film. When Peter and Jane are flying in Neverland, they grab her from him and begin dressing her in mermaid clothes. Just as one of them is about to pour water on her head, he scoops her back up and causes the mermaid to pour it on two others.

Peter Pan (2003)[]

The Mermaids are darker, more mysterious creatures in this adaptation. They possess a haunting beauty but their lips hide sharp teeth, their skin is unearthly pale and their webbed hands end in claws.

They speak in clicks, which Peter understands. When Peter and Wendy consult them for information about John and Michael, one of them tries to drag Wendy into the water, but is stopped by Peter. They informed Peter about where Hook was holding John and Michael hostage.

Hook[]

Three mermaids appear briefly in this film where they save Peter Pan (now known as Peter Banning) from drowning after he had accidentally fell off of the Hooks‘s Jolly Roger while attempting to save his two children.

Peter Pan and the Pirates[]

They live in the sea and are most seen at the Mermaids' Lagoon or nearby. They're vain and care for their looks and good appearance. They enjoy playing, joking and having fun and collecting items from the land . From all the humans who live above the water they only like Peter and no-one else. Like Tinkerbell and the fairies, the mermaids are magical. Their singing can hypnotize and lure men to their doom, they can conjure a bubble which can sink or float, make bubbles big enough to supply air for or trap humans and they can command tides, conjure water spouts and manipulate water. Their beautiful voices can mesmerize listeners into a trance.

The New Adventures of Peter Pan[]

These mermaids are beautiful and colorful creatures with the tails of tropical fish. Despite their innocent and lovely appearance, they are dangerous creatures who should not be trifled with. They will grab anyone who comes to the lagoon into the watery depths, even Peter Pan who, in this version, they show no love or fondness towards.

The waters of their lagoon can turn anyone evil and make them the mermaids' slaves. If Peter Pan falls under their spell, all of Neverland will sink below the waves, allowing the mermaids to rule. The mermaids' power does not reach beyond the boundaries of the lagoon. The episode "Peter's Choice" shows that these mermaids are stronger than any mortal and are capable of lifting a metal cage with a girl inside it or a caged fairy and a boulder. A mermaid's kiss can turn a person into a fish.

Pan[]

There are several kinder mermaids in this movie. They are all played by Cara Delevinge. They have long white-blonde hair, pale white skin and long eel-like tails with lacy fins. Their tails are bioluminescent and glow with blue and silver light. Their tails are also electric, making the mermaids the only creatures that the crocodiles fear and the only beings capable of keeping the huge reptiles at bay.

Disney Fairies Series[]

Like in the Disney film these mermaids live in Mermaid Lagoon. They spend much of their time lounging on the rocks, but they also have a beautiful castle within the lagoon, described as being delicate as a goldfish's skeleton.

Never mermaids are extremely beautiful with brightly-colored eyes, scales, and hair. They are scaly all over - even their faces are covered with fine scales. Also, their hands are webbed.

Never mermaids breathe underwater with gills, which they must rest above water occasionally or else they will get sore. They often do this by lounging above the lagoon's surface, but they also have a special air-filled room in their castle, known as the "wind room" for when going to the surface is not an option.

Mermaids are incredibly snobby and will dive into the water when fairies come by. Never mermaids are not curious about other creatures. One of the few non-mermaids they will stay up for is Peter Pan, but that is only because he is the Peter Pan and therefore has snob appeal. Also, he occasionally brings them loot he steals or finds.

Though mermaids speak English quite well, they also have their own language (called Mermish) which has thirty-eight vowels and no consonants. Some never mermaids have names that can only be pronounced in Mermish.

It is not safe to visit Mermaid Lagoon at night, because mermaids sing their most magical songs then. Pirates see dead sea captains, birds fly upside down, and Never fairies turn into bats. Some mermaids have some power over water, as Soop demonstrated by sending a flood to Pixie Hollow.

Mermaid rank is determined by the size of their nautilus shells. The Queen has the biggest one, and other mermaids are not allowed to have one bigger.
