A '''treasure chest''' is a recurring element in Dragon Quest games 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]] some chests are traps which contain enemies such as a [[Cannibox]]. 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.
A '''Treasure chest''' is a recurring element in the {{DQSeries}} 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 {{DQ3}} 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 {{DQ}} and {{DQ2}} 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.
 
==Details in specific titles==
==={{DQ2}}===
*The [[Lighthouse (Dragon Quest II)|Lighthouse]] chest containing the Star Sigil has several [[Gremlin]]s within who attack The [[Luminaries]].
*The [[Sea Cave]] has several trap chests that sap the leader of the party of {{HP}}.
 
==={{DQ3}}===
*The chests of the 4F of the [[Pyramid]] each contains a group of [[Mummy boy]]s which drop the treasure upon defeat.
 
==={{DQ5}}===
*Chests containing [[Mimic]]'s in the original {{Super Famicom}} version would frequently respawn, thus allow the {{Party 5}} to stock up on [[Mini medal]]s
 
==={{DQ7}} ([[Nintendo 3DS]] Remake)===
*Due to the graphic upgrade, treasure chests were added to the overworld.
 
==={{DQ8}}===
*This was the first game in the main series to incorporate chests in the overworld due to making the exploration rewarding.  The {{3DS}} remake added Blue Chests with random and respawning treasures.  The newly added [[Memories Lane]] included Purple Chests containing stat boosting seeds which like the Blue Chest respawn every 24 hours.
 
==In Animation==
*In the ''[[Captain N: The Game Master]]'' episode "The Trojan Dragon", Kevin Keene/Captain N, Duke and Princess Lana were given a map leading them to a chest containing the [[Fire blade|Flame sword]] and [[Silver shield]] in the Cave of the [[Knight Aberrant|Axe knight]].
