Ask your grandma if you’re not sure what a skeleton key is. Basically, it’s a key that has a filed tip allowing it to open many types of locks (especially antiquated locks). The reason these keys got the nickname, skeleton keys, was because their engraved handles looked a little bit like a skull (complete with eye holes and teeth).

Now, what does that have to do with Ring Dragonz?

Well, as we learn in Chapter 12, The Heart of the Lair, the dragon’s lair is crawling with magically enchanted six-foot-tall Skeleton Key soldiers (plated in solid gold, no less). Imagine thousands of these gilded sentries armed to the teeth with swords and shields, bows and arrows, and helmets and spears, prowling the caverns and chambers of the dragon’s abode.

But, if there are thousands of these huge Skeleton Key soldiers, what could they all unlock?
