Description[]
Queen Amphitrite in her early design.
Production painting with another early design.
Queen Amphitrite is a medium-sized light blue mermaid with long, flowing black hair and purple hoop earrings. She has a blue tail and a belly button. She also wears a golden crown, a belt, a green bra with light purple clam shells, and two golden clasps on each of her wrists.
In "Trident Trouble," her ears are also more pointed, and she lacks her crown. Her purple earrings are also golden in the episode. She has also smaller proportions, and there is no seahorse on her belt. Her color is the same.
Her first unused design was drawn by Robertryan Cory, and it was slightly different. She had bigger eyes, a different belly button, and no bra; only clam shells. This was probably changed to prevent nudity.
Personality[]
Amphitrite strongly dislikes Mr. Krabs because of his selfish and cheap ways. She disapproves of Neptune always sulking about their son, Triton, not following in his footsteps.
Role in series[]
SpongeBob SquarePants[]
"The Clash of Triton"[]
She is aware that the Krusty Krab is very popular and decides to have the 5,000th birthday party of Neptune there. She calls the restaurant and SpongeBob answers before telling Mr. Krabs, who does not believe it is her and insults her. After he hangs up, Amphitrite responds by appearing at the restaurant and zapping Mr. Krabs while still on the phone, as he realizes it was really her he was talking to and quickly agrees to her request.
She tries all she can to cheer King Neptune up for his birthday. She knows their son, Triton, is very un-kingly and tries to be a normal boy, and that worries her since they are gods. She seems to have a negative attitude towards Mr. Krabs and continually zaps and scolds him.
She appears happy reunited with Triton at the end of Neptune's birthday party. She loves her husband very much. She kindly waves goodbye to the Bikini Bottomites in the end.
"Trident Trouble"[]
King Neptune tells her a story about him and the Greek god Zeus. She laughs at it but then stops and gasps when she sees two Krakens approach. She digs into the sand and buries herself while Neptune tries to fight them.
