The Goodybag (formerly Dancing Jewel, JewelBag in later translations and TreasureBag in fan-translations) is one of the more notorious monsters in the 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.
Characteristics
The goodybag appears as a burlap sack with a cartoon face on it, tongue lolling out. This much makes it similar to the blue bag o' laughs, only with floating treasures.
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.
Recent titles have shown goodybags to have erratic speech, indicated by random capitalization. This is illustrated especially well in Fortune Street and Rocket Slime, where parts of their text may also be colored red or blue in addition to the standard black.

The JewelBag can be found in various bags around the world and in the Halfling's Cave in the past. It is also one of the forms that the WonderEgg will become when hatched. The JewelBag has a rare chance of dropping a JewelBag Heart, allowing a party member to become a JewelBag when it is taken to the Temple of Dharma.

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 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.

Monsters series
Dragon Quest Heroes: Rocket Slime
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.
In tank battles, the goodybag will use Zoom to infiltrate the enemy tank and return on-foot with a stolen piece of ammo. It is incredibly swift, but is prone to getting stuck if enemies repeatedly get in its way.
