The '''Weighted Companion Cube''' (often referred to as the '''Companion Cube''') is a recurring object in the ''Portal'' universe. It appears almost identical to the [[Weighted Storage Cube]] but with a pink heart replacing the [[Aperture Science]] logo.

In the first ''[[Portal]]'', the Companion Cube was given to Chell to aid her in completing [[Portal Test Chamber 17|Test Chamber 17]]. In order to progress through the exit at the end of the chamber, the cube was dropped into the incinerator to be "euthanized". [[GLaDOS]] used this moment to taunt Chell during their confrontation. {{Spoiler text|However, the Companion Cube can be seen prior to the end credits next to the cake.}}

The Companion Cube makes a prominent appearance in the ''[[Portal 2: Lab Rat]]'' comic, in which it speaks with protagonist [[Doug Rattmann]]. This appears to reference ''Portal'', in which GLaDOS states that the Companion Cube cannot speak and if it does, its advice should be disregarded.

It also makes an appearance in the co-op campaign, albeit impossible to interact with. After Chell leaves the facility, however, a scorched cube is ejected after her.
