In | In ''[[Portal]]'', the Companion Cube was given to Chell in order 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]], suggesting that it survived.}} | ||
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. | The Companion Cube makes a prominent appearance in the ''[[Portal 2: Lab Rat]]'' comic, in which it speaks with protagonist [[Doug Rattmann]].

The Cube also makes an appearance in the Co-op campaign but is inaccessible, preventing the player from interacting with it. After Chell leaves the facility upon completing Portal 2, a scorched Companion Cube is ejected after her. This Cube is not the newly-designed Portal 2 Companion Bube, but is the same as the cube from ''Portal''.}} The Companion Cube in ''Portal 2'' hums a tune which can be heard when the Cube is nearby. | ||
