The Skull

The Skull guards the clock that serves as an entryway into the Red Bull's lair. As a result of King Haggard's penchant for isolation, the Skull has had no one to speak with for quite some time, and now it wants to play. The Skull teases and toys with Schmendrick, Molly Grue, and Amalthea, speaking in riddles about the secret of the clock until he's suddenly tempted by what he believes to be a magically conjured decanter of wine. His desperate desire for the wine -for the taste of Life- wins out, and he reveals all. However, he ultimately recognizes Amalthea for what she truly is, and bellows his unforgettable warning to Haggard... "Unicorn! UUUUNICORRRN!!!"
