Spawns a trapdoor that leads to the next floor upon activation.
There is a 10% chance the trapdoor will instead lead into a Crawl Space.
Some tiles will appear with a special graphic (for example grass or a piece of garbage in Basement). Using this item on these tiles will guarantee a Crawl Space. Only one trapdoor to the Crawl Space can be made per floor, as all subsequent uses will guarantee a trapdoor to the next floor.
Using the item on the 3 tiles directly horizontal to a door, including Secret Room entrances, will cause the trapdoor to spawn in a random spot next to Isaac instead, making this item an indirect aid to locating Secret Rooms.
If a special graphic is in these spots, the trapdoor will likely be moved to a spot that won't spawn a Crawl Space.
Spawning enough trapdoors can cause a trapdoor to spawn in these spots.
This item can be used to destroy rocks if used while Isaac is flying over a rock.
When used on the last floor of a challenge, a trapdoor to the next floor can spawn. If it is entered, Isaac must beat the boss of that floor to spawn the ending trophy.
Trapdoors will not spawn on challenges on floors at the final destination, however certain challenges like Red Redemption may still spawn a trapdoor leading to the next floor.
