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.

Revision as of 16:59, 25 April 2023

The dreaded Pandora's box is a recurring monster in the Dragon Quest series.

Introduced in Dragon Quest VII: Fragments of the Forgotten Past, they are monstrous treasure chests of an imposing black color rimmed on the edges with gold and teal tongues hanging out.

Characteristics

Pandora's box is essentially the most powerful form of the treasure chest monsters. 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.

While absent from the original, Pandora's box makes appearances in the remakes as a monster encountered in the bonus dungeon. Given its strength and the absence of items that hamper sudden-death, it is one of the most dangerous enemies in the game, especially when encountered as a group.

Etymology

Pandora's box originates from Greek mythology as a container said to hold all the evils that were loosed upon mankind with the exception of hope. Unfortunately, unlike the myth, there is little hope to be had against this monster.
