Ornate Chest

"An artifact which may contain other artifacts."

- Wickerbottom

Ornate Chests are found in the labyrinth of the Ruins. They usually are surrounded by Spider Webbing that houses Dangling Depth Dwellers. They also don't drop anything when destroyed with tools such as Hammers or Gunpowder.

When opened, there is a chance for the character to comment on it being a trap and for a random effect to occur. These effects include raising or lowering hunger, raising or lowering sanity, raising health, affecting the durability of inventory items, and spawning Dangling Depth Dwellers. Ornate Chests contain random amounts of the following:

Large Ornate Chest
A large version of the chest is dropped by the Ancient Guardian at the center of the Labyrinth. This version contains substantially more loot than the smaller versions, and the added bonus of not spawning Shadow Creatures.
