Peep

Peep Japanese インパス Rōmaji Inpasu Type Field Older names X-Ray, Identify, Snoop

Peep is a spell in the Dragon Quest series. Introduced in Dragon Quest III, Peep was then learned by Wizards but has since extended to a less narrow range.

Function

Peep is a field spell that was introduced alongside the monster that gave worth to the spell: Mimic. Casting Peep will determine whether or not a treasure chest is safe and, in later installments/reprises, can be used to appraise items. The aura on any chest or container gauges what kind of contents it has:

• Blue aura - contains an item
• Yellow aura - contains gold
• Red aura - it's a trap
