 Their behavior is identical to a [[Snark]], even using the same creature sounds once active. When released by the player, Penguins will first idly waddle around if there aren't any hostiles present in the area. Once they detect a target, whether it be an enemy player or their own owner, they will begin aggressively pursuing their prey, wildly jumping into the air and pecking at their victim. Penguins explode when destroyed or fifteen seconds after being released. If they have not done any damage during their lifespan, the explosion has the radius and damage of a normal grenade. Each time a Penguin pecks a victim, this explosion becomes progressively larger and more powerful, even dwarfing that of a [[Satchel Charge]].

 ''HairBall'' is a tiny, symmetrical map that follows a similar design to [[tfwiki:2Fort|2Fort]] from the ''[[tfwiki:Team Fortress series|Team Fortress]]'' games, where the two teams' forts directly face one another. They are divided by a small, snowy path with a frozen river running across the middle that causes slippery movement. This central dividing area contains [[Penguin]]s, a random [[Capture The Flag Power-Ups|Power-Up]], and [[Submachine Gun (Half-Life)|SMG]] grenades. A weighted Power-Up sits outside the front of both teams' bases. Both flags are located on balconies overlooking the other team's base, each having two ice-covered supply caches as their spawn point.
 Due to its small size, matches on ''HairBall'' can quickly become chaotic when there are more than 6 players on a server. This chaos makes it difficult to capture the flags in this map.

 Several gameplay aspects and functionalities have been altered. The cannons can no longer be used, and the color of the tower lights no longer change to reflect the status of the airstrike button. The state of the hatches for the vertical tower shafts is inverted, remaining closed for the majority of the time and only briefly opening for a few seconds before the airstrike commences. The [[#Behind the scenes|secret room]] is now readily accessible simply by walking up to the hidden sliding panel. However, the room's characteristic blue lighting has been removed.

 Reaching lower than 4375 m up from the deepest parts of the mine, it is the main location of the ''[[Portal 2]]'' chapters ''[[Portal 2 storyline#Chapter 6: The Fall|The Fall]]'' and ''[[Portal 2 storyline#Chapter 7: The Reunion|The Reunion]]''.
-Test Shaft 09 can be considered as a "timeline" level, as it reveals many details about [[Aperture Science]]'s background and evolution, from its establishment in the late 1940s to some time before the end of the pre-[[GLaDOS]] era, in the late 1980s, through explicit visuals and the prerecorded messages by [[Cave Johnson]] and occasionally his assistant [[Caroline]].

 The Northern Star is a once grandiose hotel located deep within the Quarantine Zone, directly facing the entrance to [[Terminal Gardens]]. It is a six-story East European-style mansion with its name in large metal letters mounted on the top. On its front plaza are several news kiosks and a decapitated statue of Russian Communist revolutionary [[Wikipedia:Vladimir Lenin|Vladimir Lenin]] at the center, with the head nearby. The hotel's affiliated restaurant, ''Northern Star Bar'', is situated on the building's terrace.
-The hotel is extensively modified by the [[Combine]] to accommodate one of the generator stations supporting the [[Vault]]. Its main gate is sealed off by blockades, leaving a window near the luggage room the only means of entering; the [[substation]] clings onto the left wing, with catwalks roughly extending from holes on the wall and two sets of elevators leading to lower levels. The underground sections are mostly demolished to create a large cavity filled with machinery and linked with the Terminal Gardens metro station, in order to facilitate the transportation of captured [[Vortigaunt]]s via [[Razor Train]]. Other parts of the hotel appear to be under severe [[Xen]] infestation and complete disrepair. The darker rooms of the hotel are occupied by swarms of [[Poison Headcrab]]s.

The underground sections are mostly demolished to create a large cavity filled with machinery and linked with the Terminal Gardens metro station, in order to facilitate the transportation of captured [[Vortigaunt]]s via [[Razor Train]], however the basement also features other rooms such as laundry room, kitchens and storage places. The ground floor of the hotel in the eastern part features a ruined staircase and an elevator with the Northern Star Bar. On the upper floors there are spacious rooms for the hotel guests as well as smaller breakrooms for employess plus two lounges on top floor, however these parts of the hotel appear to be under severe [[Xen]] infestation and complete disrepair with ruined walls, holes in the floor, broken furniture and Xen biomass growing everywhere. The darker rooms of the hotel are occupied by swarms of [[Poison Headcrab]]s where they made their hive. In other rooms Alyx can find zombified citizens as well as zombified Combine Hazmat Workers roaming the interiors who apparently tried to gain control over the growth but without success.
-In the basements of the Northern Star, [[Alyx Vance]] first encountered the [[Reviver]], nicknamed the "lightning dog". It is an electricity-generating creature which can enter host bodies to create [[Revived Zombie]]s. After navigating through the overgrown rooms and corridors, Alyx eventually reaches the substation keeping the Vault afloat, and discovers that each of them contains an enslaved Vortigaunt which is forced to channel its energy to the Vault to power it. Grateful for its freedom, the liberated Vortigaunt promises Alyx to rally its peers to take down the remaining substations.
