Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. The main character of this series is a middle school-aged boy named Gregor. What U.S. city does he call home?

Answer: New York City

Gregor's family lives in a cramped apartment in NYC. Along with with Gregor are his mom, grandma, and two sisters Boots and Lizzie.
2. How does Gregor find his way to the Underland the first time he visits?

Answer: He follows Boots down an air duct in the apartment's laundry room.

Gregor was asked to babysit his little sister Boots and while he was doing his family's laundry downstairs, he lost track of her location. As he was searching the laundry room for her, he found one of her red mittens by the air duct and followed her through the open grate.
3. When Gregor and Boots arrive in the Underland, they are greeted by strange creatures. What are they?

Answer: Giant cockroaches

The roaches develop a special bond with Gregor's sister Boots. As the story unfolds, Gregor realizes that he underestimates these creatures' intelligence and loyalty.
4. The cockroaches take/lead Gregor and Boots to a huge walled city. What is the city called?

Answer: Regalia

Regalia was populated by humans with nearly translucent skin, silvery hair, and violet eyes. At first they regard Gregor and Boots with suspicion, but then realize that he may be more than he appears.
5. The Regalians (inhabitants of Regalia) believe strongly in the prophecies of the city's founder Bartholomew of Sandwich. What is the name of the prophecy that is said to have foretold Gregor's arrival in the Underland?

Answer: The Prophecy of Grey

This prophecy describes circumstances eerily parallel to those surrounding Gregor and Boots' appearance in the Underland. It also bestows very special titles upon both Gregor and Boots which play a significant role in guiding their fate.
6. The humans in the Underland have a very special relationship with what creatures?

Answer: The Bats

As teenagers or young adults, a human and a bat may choose to participate in a very solemn bonding ceremony that creates a lifetime allegiance. Once a human and a bat are bonds, they pledge to give their life for the other if the situation ever arises.
7. Who is the snarling, sarcastic, warrior Rat who is introduced as a member of the Questing group in this story, and continues to play a prominent role throughout the rest of the Underland Chronicles?

Answer: Ripred

Ripred is a very complex character. On one hand he belongs to the species of Underland creatures that has declared permanent war against the humans, while on the other hand he sees that that circumstance is a no win for either the humans or the rats. As a result he allies with the humans in an effort to create peace.
8. Why does Ripred have the Questers crawl through the tunnels that drip with stinky goo?

Answer: To camouflage their smell

Rats have a keen sense of smell and Ripred knows that this mixed bag of Questers will be discovered quickly if they do not make some effort to disguise themselves.
9. A member of the Regalian Royal Family betrays the humans to the Rats' King Gorger. What is the traitor's name?

Answer: Henry

Henry's betrayal surprised and enraged his cousin Luxa and his bond Ares who were both mortal enemies of the rats.
10. How does Gregor defeat the rats that have the members of the Quest encircled?

Answer: He jumps into an abyss

Gregor runs away from the rest of the Questers and the rats pursue him in a crazed fury. When he leaps off of the cliff they either cannot stop in time or voluntarily follow right after him. Gregor is saved by Henry's bond, Ares, who allows Henry to crash into the rocks at the bottom of the abyss with his rat allies.
