'''Pandora's box''' is a recurring {{MFamilies}} in the {{DQSeries}}.

Introduced in {{Dragon Quest VII}}, they are monstrous [[treasure chest]]s of an imposing black color rimmed on the edges with gold and teal tongues hanging out.

Pandora's box is essentially the most powerful form of the [[Material family|treasure chest]] {{MFamilies}}s. It can use sudden-death moves that target the whole [[party]], move more than once per round, and steal {{MP}} from its opponent when its own {{MP}}, which is rather low, gets too depleted for it to cast its spells. The monster often has the ability to deliver desperate attacks with its bites.

<big>'''NOTE:'''</big> the boss version of the pandora's box that is fought in the Temple of Trials has no resistance to banishment, meaning the best way to finish it off is to cast [[Poof]] and [[Blasto]] as often as possible.

}}Like the other chest {{MFamilies}}s, Pandora's boxes can be encountered randomly by opening blue [[treasure chest]]s in high-level {{Grotto}}es.

Much like in the previous game, Pandora's boxes disguise themselves as blue [[treasure chest]]s in high-level areas. As always, it has the ability to land {{Desperate attack}}s on characters and this time around, has the ability to cast the dreaded [[Kathwack]].

Unlike the other chest {{MFamilies}}s, there is no limit to how many times a pandora's box can be fought as they can be summoned repeatedly by [[Overweening Pride]]. However, they are only guaranteed to drop seeds of skill from the scripted encounters.

Pandora's box appears as an A-rank {{MFamilies}} of the [[Material family|Inorganic family]] as part of the {{Dragon Quest VII}} event, appearing on both [[Maribel Mayde]] and [[Ruff]]'s banners. It could eventually be scouted from any limited banner, as well. The Pandora's box can participate in [[Kiefer]]'s Battle Road as a party member.
