(possible spoilers)
The Animal Key was discovered by Bode Locke in a frozen fountain though it was originally hidden in the Hunting Trophy’s Room. He used it to turn into a sparrow, and Dodge used to to turn into a wolf. Bode eventually used it to regain his human form.
The key opens a door on the outside of the house. When a person climbs through the door, they are transformed into an animal and can communicate with other animals of the same species. It is unclear whether there is a way to choose what animal species you become, or if it is somehow a reflection on the person.
