The timbrel of tension (ふしぎなタンバリン, mysterious tambourine) is an item introduced in Dragon Quest VIII, which has unlimited uses and raises the whole party's tension by one level. It is created by mixing a Sun crown, Tough guy tattoo and Magic beast hide in the Alchemy Pot.

Timbrels of tension appear as one-time use items in this game, rather than having unlimited uses. When picked up by the character being controlled by the player, it will fill the character's tension bar completely, making it useful when it comes to boss fights. Timbrels of tension can sometimes be found by smashing pots or barrels and since they do not carry over between stages, they should be used as needed.
Dragon Quest Heroes II: The Twin Kings and the Prophecy's End
The Timbrel of Tension returns in the sequel as a skill that can be used by Angelo. It can be learned for 8 skill points and costs 8 MP to use. Rather than increasing the party's tension, it increases the rate at which they will gain tension.
