Monster Houses (Japanese: モンスターハウス) are a game mechanic in  Mystery Dungeon: Shiren the Wanderer. There are two types of monster houses, normal (monsters made up of those found on the floor), and special monster houses.

Monster Houses

See also: Monster House Strategy.

Monster Houses sometimes appear in a room in a cave or mine, or can be created by using a Monster Scroll. They will be filled with loot, monsters of that floor level, and Traps. All monsters in that room initially will be asleep until you step foot into the room. Once you step into the room, you will have the benefit of seeing the locations of all monsters on the floor on the mini-map.

Because of the abundance of traps in Monster Houses, it is wise to use a Herb of Sight, or to swing your weapon over each step.

Special Monster Houses

There are special monster houses which has a different theme music and different sets of monsters (some only appears in bonus dungeons). Monsters in special houses are not limited to those from the current floor level but can be created from both lower and deeper levels.
