The Dark Forest is a room with two trees with arms and faces. The player must find the key in one of the trees' mouths. However, a spirit of a temple guard might inhabit the trees (which is actually either a real temple guard inside one of the two trees or if they were animatronic), grabbing them with the tree's arms, players do have to be very careful in this room by the way according to Olmec. The player may choose to avoid taking this chance and plow through the breakaway wall to The Mine Shaft (season 2) or The Quicksand Bog (season 3). The tree inhabited by a temple guard usually says "Oh, Yeeeaaaahh!" or "Got you!" when grabbing the contestant, his only lines were provided by Dee Bradley Baker.
