The Animal King is an enormous Sentry Turret introduced in the first Portal 2 chapter, The Courtesy Call.

Overview
The Animal King first appears in the "Animal King Takeover" service announcement slideshow when the Announcer is about to give advice about what to do when Earth being taken over by an "animal king, sentient cloud, or other governing body that either refuses to or is incapable of listening to reason", before the recording is cut short.

In the slideshow, the Animal King, appearing as a gigantic Turret covered with a leopard skin-patterned texture and wearing a crown, drops into a large amphitheater (reminiscent of the United Nations General Assembly hall) and opens, causing people to either flee or bow to it.

The Animal King appears again in the back of the amphitheater (it may be the same as in the slideshow, even if the designs differ) during the opera song "The Fat Lady Sings" at the very end of the game, where it is shown to be playing the deeper bass tones of the opera.

While the Animal King acts more as a symbol, the model itself was likely for sale to the general public.
