Take an otherwise uninteresting object, and have the other characters (or at least one character) interact with it as if it is a real character, and you have a Companion Cube. Sometimes, the object blurs the line between real and imaginary by apparently doing things which would be hard for an inanimate object to do or telling people things they shouldn't have been able to already know, but the defining characteristic is that we the audience never, ever see it move of its own volition on camera, even if it clearly must've done something. For some reason, Companion Cubes tend to become very popular with the audience. Maybe because the idea of having an inanimate object being a character is funny. Or maybe because it's easy to project the best traits you can think of onto the object. Or because you can make yourself a replica at home... Dolls and stuffed animals, especially teddy bears, are common examples, probably because they're humanoid, friendly looking, and meant to be bonded with. Typically the owner will treat it as their Confidant. Security Blankets are also common in this regard. This can be used to reinforce a character's childlike innocence (if they're meant to be sympathetic) or make them look dangerously immature (if otherwise). Beware if they start Consulting Mister Puppet! If a character gives a weapon this treatment, expect it to have a name. This can go wrong in fandom. Horribly, horribly wrong. As a frightening and interesting aside, it has been demonstrated in US Army experiments that people kept in isolation have a tendency to form attachments to inanimate objects (this is why this tends to show up in Speculative Fiction a lot, where the crew personifies their starships and other objects). Sweet dreams! If an inanimate object does move onscreen, it slides from this trope to Through the Eyes of Madness or Magic Realism in general. (Unless it's designed to move independently, like a Roomba or something.) The opposite is Living Toys. Also contrast Enmity with an Object (aka "Cargo Nemesis"). If an animal or a robot interacts with an object in a romantic way, that's Animal Sweet on Object. A subtrope of this is Companion Food, when the object in question is food. |

The Funniest Minecraft Videos Ever: After getting kicked out of his own house by Wilbur in the "Natural Disaster mod" video, Tommy makes himself a girlfriend out of wood and a pumpkin, naming her "hot fucking sexy ass hot lady". In the Portal mod video, Tubbo becomes incredibly attached to the Trope Namer, snapping and screaming wildly at anyone who he thinks gets close to it. He becomes immensely distraught when he accidentally throws it into a lava pool. |

The Autobiography of Jane Eyre: Downplayed example is Jane's toy plushy cat. Jane introduces her as such: "She's not a real cat, which makes her far more superior to any real cats." Considering Jane's lack of friends, it's understandable she bonds and still relates to her toy, but she only showed her twice and she doesn't really talk to her. | |

But she was mistaken.., the mascot Puni appears as a talking doll Kanade carried since she was a baby. Years later, she tied the Puni doll to a farewell letter for Alto after her sister Milano stole her high-school crush. However, she eventually gets it back after marrying Alto, who became a CEO. | |

Nobody Here: "Chair" features a portrait of Jogchem posing next to his chair and saying that, together, they're never lonely. In "Socks", Jogchem says that "socks are [his] greatest love". In the accompanying minigame, once all the pairs are assembled, the socks will merge into a vaguely human-like figure and hold Jogchem by the hand, with the two jumping excitedly. |

After discovering that their robots really are alive and their mother's spirits are locked within, Asuka realizes that is the reason her synch rose and her robot went berserker when she talked to it. From that point onward, Shinji and Asuka start to talk to their robots more often. | |

Aside from Shinji himself, the first recurring characters in Shinji And Warhammer 40 K are the four miniatures with whom Shinji has several character-building conversations (a Space Marine Captain, an Eldar Farseer, an Ork Warboss, and a Chaos Lord). Then they develop their own personalities against Shinji's will. Then he starts having conversations with them entirely in his mind. Then they develop their own independent existences to the point where other characters have conversations with them (granted, those characters are Rei and Kaworu, who aren't exactly normal to begin with). | |

After taking it to a vet and for a run on a lead, he demonstrates how obedient it is by telling it to "stay" and walking away.

Dead Tom, an inanimate skeleton that the ship's crew nevertheless treats as one of their own. At one point he's "killed" and one of the pirates starts mourning him, only for another pirate to point out that Dead Tom has always been dead. The first pirate, realising that his crewmate is right, unceremoniously drops Dead Tom on the ground and moves on. |

The Bowler's ball in Mystery Men not only serves as a focus for her power, but also provides curmudgeonly advice that only she can hear and occasionally checks corners for her... or maybe she's insane. | |

In the Norwegian children's series Knerten by Anne Cath Westly, one of the main characters is a stick that looks like a human.

The Black Jack Justice episode "Now Who's the Dummy" features what is effectively a custody battle between two ventriloquists, Tom Simon and Leo Jones, neither of whom seem able to grasp that their dummies aren't actually people. When the two are face to face, Jones pulls a gun on everyone twice and has to be talked down by Simple, the dummy they're fighting over and which is currently in Jones' possession. Once that's settled, Simon's puppet, Morty, pulls his own weapon. Jack and Trixie can only lampshade the absurdity of it all. | |

Discworld: Any time the question of why Ankh-Morpork doesn't have a king anymore comes up, it's likely that a past monarch's habit of appointing trees, flowerpots, and decapitated bodies as Privy Councilors will be cited as a reason. Of the various troll street gangs from which Brick (from Thud!) has been excluded, the most abysmally stupid is Tenth Egg Street's Can't-Think-Of-A-Name gang. Allegedly, they consider a lump of concrete on a piece of string to be a gang member. Men at Arms: When Detritus gets rather carried away in conscripting troops for Carrot's militia, he swears in the mannequin from the Natty Clothing menswear shop. |

Homestuck: Lil' Cal. As a ventriloquist's dummy he naturally qualifies, but Dave treats him with nervous deference, even fear that the puppet is watching him. Lil' Cal's cold glass-eyed stare certainly gives him an Uncanny Valley appearance, but more unsettling is that he appears to move around when Dave turns his back. However, by the time Dave is fighting Lil' Cal in hand-to-hand Strife, it is clear the puppet is not moving of its own volition. Instead, Dave's Bro is puppeteering it via Flash Step. So even if the dummy is creepy, there is nothing demonic about it, right? ... Right? Isn't that right, Lil' Cal? The Harley family seems to have a strong tradition of taxidermy. Jade gets embroiled in a conversation with her Grandpa's stuffed corpse. Terezi introduces us to the scalemates, stuffed animals that Terezi pretends are alive. Of course, she then proceeds to pass judgement on them, and her home is littered with their "corpses." The Duttle. |

The bomber crews in The Big One name their aircraft (which is Truth in Television) and talk to them, believing that the aircraft talk back. It's unclear whether the aircraft are really supposed to be talking back or whether the crews simply imagine they are, with the "aircraft saying" what the crews might expect them to say if they were human. It should be noted that aircraft crews talking to their planes is commonplace and a surprising number of pilots think that their aircraft do respond on some level to that courtesy. | |

In A Little Princess by Frances Hodgson Burnett, Sara gets a doll named Emily from her father. Sara conceives of Emily as a listening companion, even a protective good witch, who moves around and does things when no one's looking. Then Sara's father dies in India, and Sara's attachment to Emily becomes one of her few escapes from her horrible situation. Until she breaks down and screams at it "You're just a doll!" and slaps it out of its chair. Movie adaptations cut that scene out, allowing Emily to be an expression of Sarah's imagination throughout. | |

A rather sad example in May. May's only friend is a china doll called Suzy, in a little glass display case. She talks to Suzy, gets advice from Suzy, tries to surprise Suzy when she gets contacts to fix her lazy eye... As the movie goes on and the already unstable May's attempts to find a real friend fail miserably, she starts to genuinely think that Suzy is actually alive, and starts to hate her sometimes, blaming Suzy for her own social mishaps. Eventually May, otherwise completely alone again, decides to make it up with Suzy and be best friends again... only for Suzy to get accidentally broken by some blind kids the next day. | |

In Cast Away, the stranded Tom Hanks finds a Wilson volleyball and draws a face on it to give himself a companion, which he calls "Wilson". The ball was inspired by the screenwriter's experience stranding himself on a beach and discovering a volleyball that washed ashore. Wilson is basically the only justification for the main character's dialogue through most of the film. Lines were even written in the script for it, so Hanks would know exactly how to play those scenes. | |

Fluffy, Roger's pet rock (not the sort described below, but a rather large rock specimen from a museum) in College Roomies from Hell!!! The weird part is that while Fluffy is never shown to move, Roger claims he followed him home, and Mike later complains that Fluffy had tried humping his leg. Occasionally, Roger claims that Fluffy wants a hump massage, and describes violence as 'erosive behavior'. | |

Dungeons & Dragons: A Familiar Item actually can be alive and have personality and ego only for the owner... and just because the owner likes it so much. Brass dragons are chatterboxes who can never get enough conversation for their tastes. As a result, some have a tendency to give nicknames and ascribe personalities to portraits, busts, and similar artworks in their hoards, and happily pass the hours having one-sided conversations with these inanimate objects. |

When there's an odd number of players for The Sharkasm Crew's Doubles tourneys, the odd player out plays with a computer-controlled player. This CPU is represented by a piece of paper with a face on it, named Sonjai. Ever since Sonjai's death, a new Companion Cube named Mogo (not to be confused with the original identity of Cephalo the Pod) has replaced him. |

Words of Radiance (second book of The Stormlight Archive): Adolin's Shardblade. He talks to it before every duel, thanking it for helping him (though acknowledging that it would do that for anyone) and reminding it about all the previous battles they fought together. Since the Shardblades are all the dead spren of the old Knights Radiant, he's half justified in doing so. Also as of Oathbringer, this seems to be paying off for him, as while Kaladin, Shallan, and Adolin are trapped in Shadesmar, the "deadeye" spren jumps on an enemy when Adolin is injured and about to be run through, and during the subsequent battle in the physical realm, she manages to tell him her name (Mayalaran) and comes to him in only seven heartbeats instead of the ten usually needed for a dead blade when he is desperate and begs her. | |

Batman: The Ventriloquist, a.k.a. Arnold Wesker is a villain whose multiple personality disorder led him to carry around an aggressive mafia-esque dummy named Scarface — which became the dominant personality of the duo, abusing Wesker and ordering him around. This made Wesker a rather tragic villain, because his core personality is mild-mannered and doesn't like what Scarface is doing or the abuse Scarface heaps on him, but cannot seem to break with the idea that he and Scarface are separate individuals. In one instance, Wesker actually shoots Scarface while the dummy is still on his hand, then proceeds to not notice that his hand is bleeding. At one point, when the Scarface doll is destroyed, Wesker uses a sock puppet that he called Socko in his therapy. Socko is a lot nicer.The second Ventriloquist is much the same, except we're told why she had a mental breakdown and took over Wesker's schtick. Unless, of course, Scarface really is the combined ghosts of all the murderers hanged on the gallows he was carved from. The third incarnation of Clayface is in love with Helena, a cheerful blonde... mannequin. In his first appearance there's a creepy yet humorous moment where he says that he would have gone insane if he hadn't met her. Batman seems sympathetic by the second time they met: he pulled strings so Clayface could keep Helena in his cell at Arkham. By then, though, the spark in their relationship is gone and Clayface kinda wants a divorce. |

Shmee, the creepy teddy bear carried by perpetual victim Squee in Johnny the Homicidal Maniac. Both Johnny and Squee refer to the toy speaking to them, and the things it tells them are rather disturbing (enough to get Johnny to take a knife to the toy at one point). In the follow up comic, there is a dream sequence where Shmee reveals that he is Squee's own personal trauma sponge, possibly an analog to the thing behind Johnny's wall, but this is open for interpretation since this is All Just a Dream, Or Was It a Dream? | |

In the Japanese professional wrestling promotion Dramatic Dream Team (DDT), several inanimate objects have held the promotion's "Ironman Heavymetalweight Championship" (a joke title defended any time at any place during any match against anyone or anything, in a parody of WWE's retired Hardcore Title and its infamous "24/7 Rule"). Several of these inanimate "performers" include Kitty-Chan (a Hello Kitty plushie), a wooden baseball bat (which lost the title by a "KO" decision after being broken in half), YOSHIHIKO the inflatable love doll, and — most memorably — three different Ladders. All of these "wrestlers" were treated by actual wrestlers and DDT performers/crew as if they were any other human competitor. The 1000th champion? The belt itself. | |

A Tale of Two Cities has a somber example Played for Drama: The shoemaker's bench and tools are this for Doctor Mannete. Being incarcerated completely alone by the Evremondes for 18 years, he begged the guards for something, anything to do to distract himself from the solitude, and when the doctor received it, he was so grateful he formed an attachment with "him", eh, it. Years later, Mannete's daughter Lucy marries Darnay, who is secretly an Evremond, and the doctor feels the compulsion to work with the shoemaker's bench again. When Mr. Lorry talks about destroying "it", Mannete refers to "him" as an "old companion", but he accedes. In the last chapters of the books, Manette asks for his friend again when he crosses the Despair Event Horizon. When Lorry and Miss Prost destroy the shoemakers's bench, they also treat "him" like something alive: | |

You'll get this from time to time in BattleTech. Canonically, Inner Sphere pilots are much more likely to get attached to their gear, on account of it often being old and full of quirks. Many 'Mechs are passed down as Ancestral Weapons, so some families train the next generation of pilots with it and pass on its legacy that way. As a result, many Inner Sphere pilots specialize in piloting one or two chassis, and sometimes one 'Mech in specific, leading to this trope when a pilot spends their entire life with a certain 'Mech to the point that they give it a name and sometimes a "personality" based on its quirks. This is also because Inner Sphere pilots are much more likely to own their own gear than comparable Clan pilots, for whom being reassigned from one 'Mech to another depending on the needs of the unit is a fairly commonplace occurrence. Much of this is inspired by the real-life military examples below, and aircraft pilots/crews in particular. | |

In the Danish comic Valhalla, Thor has a tendency to treat Mjollnir as a pet rather than a weapon; this is most evident in the second album, when the hammer is stolen by Thrym, and Thor is close to panic because the hammer "isn't used to being alone." Of course, Mjollnir is a magical hammer, and on one or two occasions does display something resembling sentience (like when Thor tries to throw it at the Fenris Wolf, and the hammer turns around in mid-air and flies back to Thor rather than face the open jaws of the wolf). | |

Smosh Babies: Ian's Miss-Hugs-A-Lot teddy bear, which he treats like his girlfriend. She has been seen in several episodes of the series, and even made a live-action appearance in the Smosh episode, "So Many Hickeys!" To a much lesser extent, Anthony's Froggy doll, which only appeared in the episodes, "The Rise of the Bread Head" and "Ian's Lost Love". The former revolved around Anthony challenging Ian to get her back from the playground, guarded by Lenny, Bruce, and Melvin. |

In the 2007 film I Am Legend, Robert Neville sets up several department-store mannequins around the video-rental shop and talks to them as if they were people to maintain some semblance of human interaction. As a sign of his degrading sanity, he begins begging a mannequin to answer him back. Then the zombie/vampires start moving them about to mess with him. | |

Teng-piao, the hero of the kung fu film Iron Chain Fighter, develops this sort of affection towards his, uh, iron chain. It's the same chain that bound him in prison for 15 years after he was made The Scapegoat, and upon escaping, he takes the chain along as his new weapon on a quest for revenge. He even talks to it while all alone at one point. | |

Peanuts: Linus's security blanket, but not exactly to Linus himself. In one week-long sequence, Lucy becomes convinced that The Blanket had sentience and was out to get her, refusing to be in the house alone with it. One strip even shows The Blanket leaping from Linus's hands to pounce on Lucy. No one else witnesses anything of the sort; as Charlie Brown comments during the riff, "I never thought she would be the first of us to crack." (Interestingly, this was the only sequence of Schulz's strips ever to be rejected by his syndicate. They have turned up in collections, but never had a newspaper "first run".) Sally regularly has conversations with the school building (or at least one wall of it). Eventually, the wall begins to produce thought balloons expressing opinions and making observations on life and its philosophical approach to wall-ness, while occasionally dropping bricks on the heads of people he doesn't like. When the building collapses, Sally interprets this as the school "committing suicide." |

Mafalda: Mafalda often makes sarcastic comments to her terrestrial globe, once even tucking it in bed and acting as if it's sick. It's a tad deeper than most examples, seeing as she talks to it as a stand in for the world. It can get quite Anvilicious sometimes, such as in the "sick" example. The poor thing has frequent sharp pains in its democracy. | |

In the film Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium, Molly Mahoney is presented with a literal block of polished wood that her mysterious, eccentric employer calls the "Congreve Cube", which he indicates is extremely significant and powerful, although we're not sure how seriously to take anything he says. In at least one scene, we see her (skeptically) trying to talk to it as though it could understand her. It may or may not be a Magic Feather. | |

Happy Tree Friends: In "Sucker for Love", Nutty's obsession with a heart-shaped box of chocolates on display in a candy store window causes him to imagine himself marrying the box, making it breakfast, riding with it in an ambulance as it breaks water during its pregnancy (implied by the bulge in its center), and having three small boxes of chocolates as his children. Then he finds the box cheated on him, discovering the affair after seeing Lumpy (who's now a milkman) leaving their house with chocolate smeared on his lips. A quick scene shifts to Nutty in jail, where it's implied he killed Lumpy out of jealousy. When he walks in the visiting area, he meets the box of chocolates (now sporting a scarf and pair of glasses) with a dent on its side (which he may have caused after beating it in his rage from its affair with Lumpy), and expresses to it his regret for treating it. After his release from prison, they both live happily together until their old age, when the elderly box of chocolates dies by falling over and spilling its contents. Before returning to reality, the elderly Nutty stands in the rain, mourning over the box of chocolates' grave. Another example is the episode Aw Shucks, where Lumpy treats an ear of corn as his own child, even prioritizing himself over it. |

Several inanimate objects from Homestar Runner are treated as characters, like The Stick. Some of them, like Strong Bad's computers, seem to actually have minds of their own! Paper actually "talks" to Strong Bad. Once, it admitted that it liked hushpuppies. This was also parodied in the Strong Bad Email "Original", in which Strong Bad tells the tale of "Original Bubs", who supposedly left the series on unfriendly terms and whose absence was excused through a series of increasingly ridiculous tricks and guest stars, the most popular of which was "Onion Bubs" (just an onion with Bubs' face drawn on it). Hell, even the sound made by Strong Bad's chair when he gets up has been turned into a character. Two characters, actually (The Geddup Noise and "his cousin, Chairscoot"). A list can be found here. |

In GURPS handbooks, the example given for Delusion is "all purple things are alive." How big the Delusion is (how many points it's worth) depends not on the nature of the Delusion, but on how much it affects your character's behavior. In practical terms, this Delusion could range from saying hello to purple objects and patting them (Quirk or Minor Delusion) all the way up to attacking purple things on sight (Major Delusion) and refusing to talk until all of them are taken from the room. | |

The very first Winnie the Pooh story makes it quite evident that Edward Bear (aka Pooh) and all of his friends are actually Christopher Robin's stuffed animals. It's justified since A. A.

During the meeting between Napoleon and Tsar Alexander at Erfurt in 1808, Alexander's brother Constantine apparently told one of Napoleon's aides: "I say, Monsieur Oudinot, if your august master were to give me one of his swords, I should take it to bed with me!"

Deadpool has the same one that every comic book character has: his text boxes. The differences are 1. Deadpool's are yellow and 2. Deadpool often references, and occasionally speaks to these boxes as though they were not, by default, a part of him.

The Muppets: Muppet Treasure Island: Squire Trelawney (Fozzie Bear) has an imaginary friend who lives inside his finger. Dead Tom, an inanimate skeleton that the ship's crew nevertheless treats as one of their own. At one point he's "killed" and one of the pirates starts mourning him, only for another pirate to point out that Dead Tom has always been dead. The first pirate, realising that his crewmate is right, unceremoniously drops Dead Tom on the ground and moves on. Amy the Dancing Brick in It's a Very Merry Muppet Christmas Movie. In theory, not totally dissimilar from Gonzo's usual acts (Yollanda the Dancing Cheese, for example), except that "she's" not a Muppet brick; she's just a brick. |
