This page is about the character from the original Final Fantasy. For the character from Final Fantasy VI, see: Darill.

Darryl is a minor non-player character from the original Final Fantasy. She is a former mermaid who grows legs and moves up onto the shore. Although she does not say her name when spoken to, the other mermaids at the Sunken Shrine talk about her as the mermaid who grew legs. She is only named in the North American version on the NES.

Both the mermaid and dancer sprites in the NES version have the same ponytail, with the exception of a red hair tie on the mermaid sprite, meaning the hairstyle was specifically recreated rather than simply reused.

Behind the scenes[]

This character was most likely named for actress Daryl Hannah, who in 1984 played a mermaid, Madison, in the movie Splash.
