Well remember that Pip is influenced by Hippo from Mermaid Melody and I think Flounder from Little Mermaid

And here is some character info about Hippo from Mermaid Melody I got from TV Tropes:

Hippo is the series' talking animal mascot, a fat little penguin in a sailor suit who speaks with a shrill voice and follows Lucia around. He's currently assigned to protect Lucia, but was initially created for another purpose. He thinks of Lucia as a failure princess because of her forbidden love, interest in the surface world and terrible singing voice, but, in fact, he's no better. Though he's obnoxious and shoves the rules into Lucia's face, he learns to relent when he, too, finds out what she means by The Power of Love.

So does any of this change your thoughts or do you still stand by your choice?
