| First appearance | Dragon Quest VII |
The dreaded Pandora's box (DorasBox in previous translations due to display constraints) is a recurring monster in the Dragon Quest series. Introduced in Dragon Quest VII, they are monstrous treasure chests of an imposing black color with green tongues hanging out. Because they can cause instant death to the player's party (unless properly equipped), they are regarded as some of the most fearsome regular enemies in the entire series.
Characteristics
Pandora's box is essentially the most powerful form of the treasure chest monsters. It can use sudden-death moves that target the whole party, move more than once per round, and steal MP from its opponent when its own MP, which is rather low, gets too depleted for it to cast its spells.
Appearances
Dragon Quest IV
While absent from the original, Pandora's box makes appearances in the remakes as a monster encountered in the bonus dungeon. Given its strength and the absence of items that hamper sudden-death, it is one of the most dangerous enemies in the game, especially when encountered as a group.

Etymology
Pandora's box originates from Greek mythology as a container said to hold all the evils that were loosed upon mankind with the exception of hope. Unfortunately, unlike the myth, there is little hope to be had against this monster.
