The collection of characters from The Little Mermaid is growing, with Ariel’s beloved fish friends Flounder and Sebastian joining the village in Disney Dreamlight Valley. The process for unlocking them looks vastly different from all other villagers, though, and can be tricky to navigate.
If you’re hoping to get every character available to find and meet around the valley, figuring out what needs to be done to recruit these two is essential. Here’s how to unlock Flounder and Sebastian in Disney Dreamlight Valley.

How to get Flounder and Sebastian in Disney Dreamlight Valley
Flounder and Sebastian can be unlocked by purchasing either the Deluxe Edition or the Ultimate Edition of The Keepsake Sea in DDV. These two Adventure Companions are exclusive content locked behind these special variants of the Expansion Pass, which means you must buy one of the two to get them.
- The Keepsake Sea Deluxe Edition costs $49.99. It includes:
- The Keepsake Sea Expansion Pass
- Flounder and Sebastian as Adventure Companions
- Merfolk Mansion House Style
- Gilded Shell Tops
- 10,000 Moonstones
- The Keepsake Sea Ultimate Edition costs $79.99 USD. It includes:
- Disney Dreamlight Valley base game
- The Keepsake Sea Expansion Pass
- Wishblossom Ranch Expansion Pass
- Flounder and Sebastian as Adventure Companions
- Merfolk Mansion House Style
- Gilded Shell Tops
- 18,000 Moonstones
With either of these versions purchased, you’ll then be able to unlock Flounder and Sebastian in DDV. These two are likely locked behind a few quests, probably ones that require you to first unlock Ariel and progress through part of The Keepsake Sea’s storyline to learn about Adventure Companions. We’ll provide an update here on all additional unlock requirements once they’re available to tackle.

Can you get Flounder and Sebastian outside of The Keepsake Sea in Disney Dreamlight Valley?
Flounder and Sebastian will very likely only ever be available as exclusive bonus content unlocked for purchasing either the Deluxe Edition or the Ultimate Edition of The Keepsake Sea DLC. Most other DLCs have had similar exclusivity systems for special game editions, like Sven as an exclusive mount with the Deluxe Edition of Wishblossom Ranch.
All items included in special editions have never been available in any other way. This system has been in place for years, so it’s unlikely to change in the future. This means that the only way to get Flounder and Sebastian in your valley is by buying one of the two DLC game versions that include them.
Are Flounder and Sebastian villagers in Disney Dreamlight Valley?
Flounder and Sebastian are Adventure Companions, not full-on villagers in DDV. This means they act as a hybrid between a Companion and a villager. These special Companions can be given gifts, have daily discussions, and come with their own set of rewards, but are not quite as built out as villagers.
