'''P-body''' (referred to as '''Orange''' by [[GLaDOS]]), is [[Atlas]]' tall and wiry partner in testing, and is one of the two playable android Test Subjects built by GLaDOS for the [[Co-op|Cooperative Testing Initiative]] in ''Portal 2'', which was devised to phase out human testing.

Gameplay-wise, P-body is played by the guest of the Co-op session; the player that receives an invitation or the second player on a home console split-screen mode.

== Biography ==

P-body is an orange eyed [[Cores|Core]] with a design similar to that of a [[Turrets|Turret]], and is portrayed to have somewhat less masculinity than in Atlas - if not a hint femininity. {{spoiler|GLaDOS had created the Cooperative Testing Initiative after her awakening in ''Portal 2'', as a means of replacing [[Chell]] as her only Test Subject.}} Along with Atlas, the two bots are pitted against a series of tests built by GLaDOS herself, utilizing the many different [[mechanics]] previously encountered by Chell from the game's single-player campaign.

GLaDOS reveals that there are humans locked away, deep within the ancient Aperture facilities. There the bots will be tasked with navigating the old test chambers and unlock the massive vault containing the humans, seemingly kept in place by some form of cryogenic storage. By doing this, they 'save science.'}}
