The '''Goo''',<ref>[https://plus.google.com/u/0/102090447927900488343/posts/cYPbCtbkkuh Name according to Valve employee, Steve Kalning]</ref> also known as '''Toxic Water''', '''Acid''', and '''Hazard Liquid''', is a common environmental hazard in both ''[[Portal]]'' and ''[[Portal 2]]''.

 

Goo is usually present within testing chambers in order to provide a penalty for failure, and to ensure that test subjects are precise with their movements and positioning of their [[portals]].

Objects that have fallen into the goo are irretrievable. In such cases where testing elements like the [[cubes]] are needed to solve a test, a replacement will be issued immediately if the first one was dropped into the goo. On some occasions during ''[[Portal 2]]'', objects in the goo can be heard [[Material Emancipation Grill|fizzling]] immediately after falling in.

Appearance-wise in ''[[Portal]]'', the goo appears as a mixture of red, green, and brown-colored liquid with a swirled appearance. Any contact with the goo will result in continuous damage that would eventually result in killing [[Chell]] within a few seconds upon contact. As of ''Portal 2'', the goo appears to be mainly brown, often with smoke swirling around its presence like in ''Portal''.
