A Treasure chest is a recurring element in the Dragon Quest series as well as most role-playing games. It appears in various locations throughout the games and often contains an item or gold which the player receives upon opening the chest. Beginning in Dragon Quest III: The Seeds of Salvation some chests are traps which contain enemies such as a Cannibox, Mimic and Pandora's box. To counter this, the spell Peep, was created to determine whether a chest had treasure or an enemy due to it's glow.

Later installments added pots, cupboards, drawers, etc. with a similar function. Generally, treasure chests are used to distribute items throughout the locations in each game. The Nintendo Entertainment System ports of Dragon Quest and Dragon Quest II: Luminaries of the Legendary Line had most chests respawning even if they had key items provided they weren't with the characters' possessions. III and up had them remaining permanently empty.
