The '''boxer shorts''', known as the '''steteco pants''' in Japanese, are a common piece of clothing in the ''[[Dragon Quest series|Dragon Quest]]'' series that were first introduced in [[Dragon Quest V]]. They are generally considered a gag piece of equipment notable for their low defensive properties and they can only be worn by male characters.<br />
<br />
==Appearances==<br />
===''[[Dragon Quest III]]''===<br />
The boxer shorts have a defense bonus of +10 and can be worn by male [[Warrior]]s, [[Priest]]s, [[Thief|Thieves]], [[Merchant]]s, and [[Gadabout]]s. Some can be found in [[Khoryv]] in the item shop behind a door locked by the [[Thief's Key]], [[Isis]], and [[Tantegel]]. They can be sold for 90 gold. The boxers only appear in remake versions of the game.<br />
<br />
===''[[Dragon Quest IV]]''===<br />
The boxer shorts have a defense bonus of +8. They can be obtained in [[Reginhart]] and the [[Fungeon (Dragon Quest IV)|Fungeon]] (One can be found in the dungeon, with the second being a prize from [[Foo Yung]] & [[Chow Mein]]). They can only be equipped by [[Ragnar]], [[Borya]], and [[Torneko]]. If appraised by Torneko, he mentions that they look like they breathe nicely. Boxer shorts only appear in remake versions of the game.<br />
<br />
===''[[Dragon Quest V]]''===<br />
The boxer shorts have a defence bonus of +15. Some can be found in [[Lodestar Harbour]], [[Helmunaptra]], and [[Gotha|Gotha Castle]]. They are worn by [[Sancho]] when he joins and can only be worn by him and some of the monster companions.<br />
<br />
===''[[Dragon Quest VI]]''===<br />
The boxer shorts have a defense bonus of +10 and can be sold for 75 gold. A pair of them is dropped by [[List of minor characters in Dragon Quest VI#Bigg and Liddle|Bigg & Liddle]] at the hut north of [[Wellshire]].<br />
<br />
===''[[Dragon Quest VII]]''===<br />
The boxer shorts have a defence bonus of +8 (+5 in the 3DS version), but they decrease style by 100 points. They can only be worn by the [[Hero (Dragon Quest VII)|Hero]], [[Kiefer]], [[Ruff]], and [[Sir Mervyn]]. If appraised, it is mentioned that they seem to be a bit stained. One pair can be found in [[Emberdale]] in the present near the town's hot springs. If equipped with the [[pot lid]], they provide a style bonus of +30 when being graded for the Best Dressed contest of the [[Excellence Grading Organisation]].<br />
<br />
===''[[Dragon Quest VIII]]''===<br />
The boxer shorts have a defence bonus of +8 and only [[Yangus]] can wear them. Oddly enough, they cannot be worn by [[Morrie]] in the 3DS version. They cannot be purchased anywhere, but can be sold for 50 gold and are found in various locations throughout the game, the earliest being in the [[Farebury Region]]. They can be used to make the [[leather kilt]] and [[Robe of serenity]] in the [[Alchemy Pot]]. They can also be created using the alchemy recipe of [[bandit's grass skirt]] + [[bandana]].<br />
