Chest Monster/Anime and Manga

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


Examples of Chest Monsters in Anime and Manga include:

  • One Piece has this during and episode in the Thriller Bark arc where Nami opens a chest and a surprise zombie pops out.
    • Much, much earlier, Luffy and Nami encounter a little man who, twenty years before, had fallen into a treasure chest and couldn't get out. He tries to invoke this trope to scare people away from his island.
  • An episode of Rune Soldier Louie has a short fight scene with the party attacked by a door mimic, as well as a traditional treasure chest mimic.
  • The mimics in Interspecies Reviewers are, like many monsters in the series, the Cute Monster Girl type and don't want to eat folks who open their chests... Having said that, they're rather friendly otherwise as far as Succu-girls go.
