The '''Goodybag''' is one of the more notorious monsters in the ''[[Dragon Quest (series)|Dragon Quest]]'' series. Introduced in ''[[Dragon Quest III]]'', it is a monster that looks like a tied burlap sack with treasures (a crown, a ring, string of pearls, etc.) hovering in mid-air around it.  

The goodybag appears as a burlap sack with a cartoon face on it, tongue lolling out. This facial expression is similar to the [[cannibox]]-- perhaps mimicry monsters chuckle at their own cleverness when surprising adventurers?

Goodybags typically specialize in casting disruptive magic, such as [[Fizzle]] and [[Fuddle]], combining with their agility and evasiveness to make them bothersome monsters to face. Being bags of treasure, they are also prone to dropping a considerable amount of gold and occasionally high price items.

Recent titles have shown goodybags to have erratic speech, indicated by random capitalization. This is illustrated especially well in ''[[Fortune Street]]'' and ''[[Dragon Quest Heroes: Rocket Slime|Rocket Slime]]'', where parts of their text may also be colored red or blue in addition to the standard black.

The JewelBag boss accompanies [[Cavemon]] in the [[Marsh Cave]] in [[Verdham]].

 

The two JewelBags's physical attack will do ~10 damage. They will also use Defense to lower the party's defenses, LureDance to make one party member lose a turn, and OddDance to lower a party member's MP.

If the [[Hero (Dragon Quest VII)|Hero]] and [[Gabo]] have Bladed Boomerangs, it makes the battle easier. They should regularly attack because their first attack will hit the Cavemon first and then the JewelBags in successive damage. [[Kiefer]] should use Psycheup/FireSlash combo. Maribel should cast Sap on the Cavemon twice.

The player is advised to take out the Cavemon first as its attacks are more devastating. When the Cavemon is defeated, the JewelBags become much simpler.

Goodybags appear as rare monsters in the game, capable of appearing in all areas except Forewood Forest and the Flying Clawtress. They only appear in specific rooms, and only appear rarely at that, scampering away once they spot the player and may attempt to escape with [[Zoom]] if they are not captured or defeated quickly enough. Because of this, they can be seen as parallels to metal monsters in other titles since these monsters do no appear as enemies in the game. Because experience points are not used in ''Rocket Slime'', goodybags will instead drop large amounts of gold (in the form of treasures) when struck and often drop lucky bags containing valuable materials when defeated.

The standard Bag o' laughs appears as a cartoonish, blue [[Material family|burlap bag]] with a face that consists of two eyes, rosy cheeks, and a fanged mouth with tongue lolling out.

Bag o' laughs are just as annoying as their beige brethren, casting debilitating magic instead of directly attacking and thus are most dangerous when encountered along with more ferocious monsters that take advantage of their adventurer enfeebling.
