| ~ Luca's catchphrase. |
Luca Paguro is the titular main protagonist of Pixar's 24th full-length animated feature film of the same name, and a minor character in its short film, Ciao Alberto.
He is a human/sea monster hybrid living at Portorosso, Italy who wants to prove his worth to the townspeople, in which it involves being guided by both Alberto and Giulia on what it feels to live on the surface world. He's also Daniela and Lorenzo Paguro's son, Libera Paguro's grandson, Ugo Paguro's nephew, Alberto Scorfano's best friend, and Giulia Marcovaldo's love interest.
He is voiced by Jacob Tremblay, who also played Blue Winslow in The Smurfs 2 and Auggie Pullman in Wonder, Robin in the adult animated TV series Harley Quinn, Flounder in the 2023 live-action remake of The Little Mermaid, and Pete the Cat in the 2018 animated TV series of the same name.
Appearance[]
In human form, Luca is slender with fair skin, rosy cheeks, brown eyes, and dark brown wavy hair. He wears a teal striped ivory button-down shirt with the sleeves rolled up to his elbows, and blue shorts.
In sea monster form, he has blue-green scales, sharp teeth, and blue "hair". His eyes are still brown, but with yellow sclera and oval-shaped pupils. He also has a long tail with smooth blue caudal fins. Before he obtains his new outfits, he is seen wearing green pants made of seaweed.
Personality[]
Luca is a nice, shy and timid boy, unlike Alberto, who is a daring young boy. He is constantly told to not go to the surface, but after finding some "land monster" stuff in the ocean, he gets curious and goes to the surface.
Throughout the movie, Luca gets used to human life, and becomes more curious not just only about human life, but what is on the surface as Alberto shows him his collection of human items he found. Alberto was able to teaches Luca to ignore his doubts and to leave his comfort zone, this led him to get the skill of being able to ride a bicycle in order to compete in the Portorosso Cup. He also becomes more brave and wiser instead of nervous and being the "good kid" by the end of film.
Biography[]
He was born as a sea monster to strict parents underwater, obviously.
He was first seen rounding up his fish (which are used as sheep) up and going around his neighborhood, and his neighbors are getting a bit annoyed, as they make it clear he's done this before. As he is headed over to the little circle ranch, he sees "land monster" stuff around there that Alberto knocked down from a ship. He heads to the surface and becomes a human.
When Luca is asked for the ball, he kicks it. As a result, the ball hits Ercole’s Vespa. He met Giulia and trained for a bike race. Luca and Giulia started to share a bond in learning and Giulia tells him about school, which sparks his interest, which causes Alberto to become jealous. When Alberto's jealousy reaches to a point where he intentionally reveals his true form to Giulia to prove that that they can't go to school because they're sea monsters, Luca, unwilling to give himself up, feigns surprise, which causes Alberto to go back to his hideout out of heartbreak.
Luca felt remorseful and makes it up to him by winning the Vespa. He defeated Ercole and went to school with Giulia.
