The dreaded '''Pandora's box''' | The dreaded '''Pandora's box''' is a recurring monster in the ''[[Dragon Quest (series)|Dragon Quest]]'' series. Introduced in ''[[Dragon Quest VII]]'', they are monstrous treasure chests of an imposing black color rimmed on the edges with gold and green tongues hanging out. Because they can cause instant death to the player's party (unless [[Holy talisman|properly equipped]]), they are regarded as some of the most fearsome regular enemies in the entire series. | ||

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. | While absent from the original, Pandora's box makes appearances in the remakes as a monster encountered in the bonus dungeon.
