''If you become a thief, you'll be able to steal your enemy's belongings. You will also be able to tell how much treasure is in the vicinity.''
--Description in ''[[Dragon Quest VII]]''

The '''Thief''' is a class in the ''[[Dragon Quest (series)|Dragon Quest]]'' series. It was not available in the original [[Nintendo Entertainment System|Famicom]] version of ''[[Dragon Quest III]]'', being added later to the [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System|Super Famicom]] version of the game as a bonus class.

Thieves have high agility and balanced physical stats with decent attack and defensive power making them nimble melee combatants. What makes them vital to a party is their ability to steal items from the last monster defeated at the end of a fight. Outside of dungeons and caves they possess abilities such as [[Eye for Distance]] that allow the player to locate villages and nearby towns.

Thieves may steal from the last enemy vanquished in an encounter, with the success probability being calculated thusly: {(LVL x item drop rate)/8}.

==[[Dragon Quest VI]]==
Thief is one of the prerequisites for the [[Ranger]] vocation (along with [[Monster Master]] and [[Merchant]]).

===Usefulness===
The Thief's best skill is Nose for Treasure which allows treasure hunters to know how much treasure is left on a particular floor. As for hybrid skills, Thief Hit, the hybrid skill of a [[Warrior]] and a Thief, is probably one of the useful hybrid skills to learn as it has the chance of taking one item from a monster regardless of whether or not it is defeated. However, the default stealing rate is quite low. To this end, the character must have a high rank in the vocation to steal reliably.

Regarding evolution, the Thief can combine a mastered [[Shepherd]] class to become a [[Tamer]]. They will learn all sorts of breath skills and have a chance at taming monsters for the [[Monster Park]]. The Thief can also combine a mastered [[Mariner]] class to become a [[Pirate]]. The Pirate learns sea based attacks which is useful as most monsters, save the aquatic ones, don't have resistance to these skills. Plus they are cost effective.

==[[Dragon Quest IX]]==
The Thief vocation is available at the start of the game and has the unique skillset "Acquisitivess". Thieves can also use skill points to learn [[Sword]], [[Knife]], [[Claw]], and [[Fisticuffs]] skills. Their [[Coup-de-Grace]] is "Itemized Kill," which guarantees treasure dropped after the battle.
