First appeared in a poem, in a game, or on the radio?

Does this character have the power of speech as we would know it? (R2D2 would be a no)

I am completely lost. Not only can I not figure out what media it came from, I cannot figure out the species, or defining characteristics of the character! I'll take another question here though:

Is this character considered a "good" character?

Also, any chance we could get a hint here yavuzovic?

If you ask this question, you will run out of free guesses, are you sure?
And yes, here is my hint:
I knew about this entity prior to this game, but I didn't know about how it was first introduced until I checked it. There are more than one instances of it being around, and its later instances are more popular. So try not to get too fixated with its "first introduced" questions. Maybe evaluate its other features and then try to search for the origin of the character in your mind.
I hope this hint doesn't confuse you more.
One more hint: The answer has a Wikipedia page of its own

Alright, here's my free guess. I don't know if it fits all the categories, but it fits enough for me to try it.

Marvin the Martian?

No
If there is a conflict with any categories, I believe I can return the free guess. I remember Marvin the Martian not speaking but it's Wikipedia page has voice actors. I will need confirmation on this point.

No I was more concerned with "not introduced in a TV show or animated short" which is how Marvin was introduced, but I was curious if he had been around before then in some form

Free guess: The Thing
