Talking Door

The Talking Door is one of the more bizarre sights on the sixth level of the Abyss.

When the Avatar tried to open a door on that level in Ultima Underworld I, the door started to talk and insult the hero. As it turned out, a mage had become so annoyed by his fellow people, that he'd turned himself into a door just to escape their question how the spell "Sheet Lightning" is casted.

However, that had helped little and to his annoyance, people still asked him, as the Avatar did and he revealed the spell, just to be left alone. Considering that he was a door, it is very likely that the volcanic erruption some time later killed him.
