'''Reuben''' was a main character in ''[[Minecraft: Story Mode]]'' through episodes 1-4. He was [[MCSM:Jesse|Jesse]]'s pet [[MCSM:pig|pig]] and best friend. They both lived in a treehouse, with [[MCSM:Axel|Axel]] and [[MCSM:Olivia|Olivia]]. He was voiced by [[Wikipedia:Dee Bradley Baker|Dee Bradley Baker]]. He first appeared in ''{{MCSM|The Order of the Stone}}''.

== Personality ==
Reuben had a friendly outlook, and loved {{MCSM|Jesse}} unconditionally. However, he could be seen getting upset with Jesse, especially if they ignored him or forgot about him momentarily (determinant). He does not like being called a pet or mascot, as seen in Episode 1.

== Biography ==
{{Incomplete section|missing details about their life and events leading to their death.}}
Reuben died from injuries obtained by falling from a great height. After retrieving Jesse's enchanted weapon, he fell into a pit inside the [[MCSM:Wither Storm|wither storm]], later landing on the stone below missing the body of water nearby.

== Trivia ==
* The name "Reuben" is a reference to real food; pork loin reuben, similar to how [[MCSM:Benedict|Benedict's]] name is a reference to eggs benedict and [[MCSM:Waffles|Waffles']] name is a reference to chicken and waffles.
* In ''[[Story Mode:The Order of the Stone|The Order of the Stone]]'', if [[MCSM:Jesse|Jesse]] chooses to do nothing while talking to [[MCSM:Otis|Otis]], Reuben will beat him up. He would also appear angry in Ivor's hideout at [[MCSM:EnderCon|EnderCon]].
* In ''[[Story Mode:Assembly Required|Assembly Required]]'', if Jesse decides to go to [[MCSM:Boom Town|Boom Town]], they can choose pink wool as a building material (insisted by Reuben) in the [[MCSM:Death Bowl|Death Bowl]]. This will result in them building a statue of Reuben.
** If Jesse doesn't pick a name, [[MCSM:Axel|Axel]] will step in, calling Jesse the Pig Master. It appears to be a reference to Reuben himself.
* In ''[[Story Mode:The Last Place You Look|The Last Place You Look]]'', if Jesse chooses to rescue the [[MCSM:Amulet|Order’s Amulet]] instead of helping Reuben and Axel, the option to high five Reuben will be unavailable, and Reuben will glare at Jesse before walking away. He is later seen with Lukas.
** In the same episode, if Jesse talks to Reuben enough times while in [[MCSM:Soren|Soren's]] [[MCSM:Research Lab|research lab]] in the End, Reuben will tell them a joke. This will result in the "That's Some Pig" achievement to be unlocked.
* When Jesse was constructing the [[MCSM:Formidi-Bomb|formidi-bomb]], Jesse's Gang, Soren, Magnus, and Ellegaard could be seen in the background building a statue of Reuben with sunglasses to distract the [[MCSM:Wither Storm|wither storm]].
* Depending on the player's choice, Reuben's expression will be different at the end of ''The Last Place You Look''. The three expressions will be worried, indifferent or angry.
* In ''[[Story Mode:A Block and a Hard Place|A Block and a Hard Place]]'', it was revealed that Reuben was initially found by [[MCSM:Jesse|Jesse]] near a waterfall.
** In the same episode, if Jesse chooses to craft an [[Story Mode:Ultimate Hoe|ultimate hoe]], Reuben will laugh at them.
* During the siege into the Wither Storm, if Jesse doesn't choose anything when picking a strategy, Olivia or Petra will suggest they build a Reuben Minecart Launcher. Listening carefully, [[MCSM:pig#Sounds|pig noises]] can be heard every time Jesse lays down a pink wool block.
* When Reuben dies, there will be a gray box on the top left corner saying "Reuben will be remembered". It can also be seen in Jesse's speech. When Jesse asks what really mattered, they have the option to say "Reuben" (if you didn't say you had Reuben) and it will say "Reuben will be remembered" again.
* Reuben can be mentioned in every episode except ''[[Story Mode:Jailhouse Block|Jailhouse Block]]'' and ''[[Story Mode:Below the Bedrock|Below the Bedrock]]''.
** In ''[[Order Up!]]'', Jesse, Petra, and Lukas visit the [[Story Mode:Order Hall|Order Hall]] and see Reuben's porkchop, remembering him. Jesse later sees pigs in the [[Story Mode:Sky City|Sky City]] dimension and has the option to say that they miss Reuben.
** In ''[[Story Mode:A Portal to Mystery|A Portal to Mystery]]'' Jesse has the option to insult the White Pumpkin saying, "Cats suck! Pigs are way cooler!", which refers to Reuben.
** In ''[[Story Mode:Access Denied|Access Denied]]'', after chipping Petra and Lukas, [[MCSM:PAMA|PAMA]] mentions Reuben by saying "An adorable pig friend". Later, either Lukas or Petra will mention Reuben while under PAMA's control, reminding Jesse of Reuben's death to bruise their morale.
** In ''[[Story Mode:A Journey's End?|A Journey's End?]]'', Hadrian implies that he's managed to "find Reuben," only for it to turn out he captured [[Story Mode:Reuben (Human)|Reuben]] the Endercon usher and assumed he was Jesse's Reuben.
** In ''[[Story Mode:Hero in Residence|Hero in Residence]]'', Reuben is mentioned in Lukas' story. Jesse can visit Reuben's Memorial in Beacontown, and Reuben is also mentioned by [[Story Mode:Stella|Stella]].
** In ''[[Story Mode:Giant Consequences|Giant Consequences]]'', the [[MCSM:Prismarine Colossus|Prismarine Colossus]] form of [[MCSM:Romeo|Romeo]] destroys Reuben's memorial during the fight. Jesse can later rebuild the memorial.
** In ''Above and Beyond'', Jesse can visit rebuilt Reuben's memorial one more time.
*In ''Below the Bedrock'', based on Jesse’s reaction to first seeing [[Story Mode:PorkChop|PorkChop]]’s hat, which resembles the head of a pig, it’s likely Jesse was reminded of Reuben. Potentially even mistaking it for him.
* Reuben is the only member of Jesse's Gang who has truly died. This makes him the only member of Jesse's Gang not to appear in Season 2.
** Despite this, Reuben was planned to have survived from the wither storm in the Netflix version, and to have him accompany Jesse’s Gang through the portal hallway, but it was ultimately cancelled due to the closure of Telltale Games.<ref>{{tumblr|stirpicus|700247111657242624|There was a wild plan for a few weeks that Reuben was going to survive the Witherstorm attack in the Netflix version, and then we were going to do minor rewrites and tweaks (which we already had to do anyway) to put him into the Netflix version of the Portal Hallway arc as well.|November 7, 2022}}</ref>
* Reuben is intended to be a teenage pig, same with Lluna.<ref>{{tumblr|stirpicus|165762863991|Yeah Lluna and Reuben are both “teenage” versions of animals that Mojang let us cook up special - bigger than babies, smaller than adults, with tweaked proportions and faces for maximum cuteness/sassiness/etc.|September 26, 2017}}</ref>
