A fixture in role-playing games since the genre's birth, '''Encounters''' are enemy encounters that occur suddenly when traveling on foot or in  vehicles, and are a recurring element of the ''[[Dragon Quest (series)|Dragon Quest]]'' series. Encounters can occur randomly at any time when walking on the over world or in a dungeon, or at fixed points when a certain number of steps have been taken. As of ''[[Dragon Quest IX]]'', these two methods have since been replaced by visible encounters.

The enemies a player can meet varies both on where they are in the game and the terrain they are on. For example, the forest may contain enemies not found in the plains. For games that include travel by ship, enemies encountered while at sea are from an entirely separate set. Some enemies have a very low encounter rate and thus are almost impossible to find; these usually give out large amounts of [[Experience Points]] or some other significant reward, the most obvious example being the [[Metal Slime]].
