What is the Skull Room in Animal Well?

The Skull Room is a room in Animal Well that is filled with various skulls. The room becomes like this every time the player is killed in a run of the game. Therefore, once a new death occurs, a new skull is added to the location for players to see. It serves as an almost cruel reminder to the player of how many times they have been defeated in a run.

There is a chest that players can open with an upgrade B.B Wand in the upper left corner. To do so, they must fill skulls up to it. Afterward, they can climb up them, almost like stairs, to reach and open the chest. While it seems like a harsh way to get a reward, the upgraded B.Wand can be very useful in various situations throughout the game. Therefore, it may be best for players to try and attain while they are on a run of the game.
