An Ornate Chest is a Structure found in the Labyrinth biome of the Ruins. Ornate Chests are usually surrounded by Dangling Depth Dweller webbing.
Opening an Ornate Chest triggers a random effect, such as spawning Dangling Depth Dwellers or Terrorbeaks, raising or lowering Health, Hunger, or Sanity, or affecting the durability of inventory items. The character will often state, "It's a trap!".
Ornate Chests do not drop anything when destroyed.

Trivia[edit | edit source]
- The name "pandoraschest" is a reference to the Greek myth of Pandora's box, a box that contained all the evils in the world. The fact that the chest can spawn Terrorbeaks and Dangling Depth Dwellers when opened is likely a reference to this.
