Anger Core

The Anger Core is a personality core that appears in Portal.

It is one of the cores Chell knocks off of GLaDOS during the climactic "battle" at the end of the game. It was later destroyed in an Emergency Intelligence Incinerator.

The Anger Core is quite literally a sphere of fury. It lacks the ability ability to speak, instead resorting to making animalistic roars, snarls, and growls.

The Anger Core is voiced by Mike Patton.

Trivia

  • Voice actress Ellen McLain, at a recent convention panel, has revealed that she was originally asked to voice the Anger Core. It was later decided that Mike Patton should voice the core, as McLain's voice "didn't sound right" for the part.
  • The Anger Core's characteristic growls are reused in Left 4 Dead and it's sequel, Left 4 Dead 2.
  • In Portal 2, Aperture Science Bombs bear a striking resemblance to the Anger Core. The Bomb shares an "angry" animation with the Anger Core, making it possible that the Core was to make a reappearance in Portal 2 at some point during development.
