The '''trap box''' is a recurring boss {{MFamilies}} in the {{DQSeries}} that was introduced in {{DQ8}}.

Originally appearing as the boss of the [[Swordsman's Labyrinth]], it has gone on to make regular appearances in other games in the series.

It is the first [[Mimic]] in the series not to remain hidden in its [[treasure chest]], revealing a ghastly skeleton within.

==Characteristics==
The trap box is able to levitate in midair under its own power. The lid of the trap box's [[treasure chest]] is split into two and serve as the monster's hands, being used in vicious crushing attacks. From inside of the bottom half of the [[treasure chest]] peers out a frightful skeleton with a flexible serpentine spine, horns on either side of its skull, and a sickening tongue even longer than that of a normal [[mimic]]'s. Despite its skeletal appearance, the trap box still belongs to the [[material family]] rather than being one of the undead. Much like the other mimics, it can inflict a variety of different [[status effect]]s on unfortunate adventurers including sleep and confusion.
