The '''Crusher''' ~~was first~~ introduced in [[Portal 2]], and is a derivative of [[Aperture Science]]'s [[Panels|Panel]] technology. Crushers are an environmental hazard present in several test environments. If ~~the player~~ makes contact with a Crusher, they will be forced into the nearest hard surface and killed instantly. Crushers appear as large grey panels with a number of steel spikes firmly attached to them.

The crusher first appeared in the [[Portal]] game trailer trailer, but it was not added to the final game. It was added in the [[Portal: Still Alive]] expansion pack as a game mechanic and then reappeared in [[Portal 2]]. It's use in [[Portal: Still Alive]] was not wide and it was used in only a handful of levels.
