** G1 Steading of the Hill Giant Chief has one. G3 Hall of the Fire Giant King has a treasure cave. Q1 Queen of the Demonweb Pits has a treasure chamber filled with coins, 99.5% of which will vanish when the [=PCs=] return to the Prime Material Plane.

* Vriska Serket of ''{{Homestuck}}'' has several, filled with plunder from years of extreme roleplaying as a [[strike:pirate]] [[{{Pirate}} PETTICOAT SEAGRIFT]]. [[BigYes YEAH!!!!!!!!]].

A staple of RPG's, video games, movies, TV, and wherever stories are told. A big room full of treasure... money, gold and jewels. Often the McGuffin. Often trapped or guarded by a monsterous beast. Often a cause of KarmicJustice due to all the DeathByMaterialism. Sometimes TheHero might get all of it, but generally they only manage a choice piece or two, if anything. In most scenarios there will be some sort of cave-in, massive flood, or other such death trap which will inevitably chase the hero/heroes out. And since it would only take a few days or maybe a week to dig it back out, the treasure is clearly [[LostForever lost forever]]. Apparently adventurers have never heard of modern excavation equipment.

* The dragon's treasure hoard from ''TheHobbit''.

* CaptainSNES has the Treasure Room of Destiny, where [[FinalFantasyIV Cecil]] stored his entire inventory after ascending to the throne. Its all in chests, but it still has millions of gill, and several dozen of the same legendary sword.

* Scrooge's money bin and ''DuckTales,'' as well as the ''many'' other treasure hoards he finds on his adventures. Oddly, Scrooge almost never gets to keep these treasures after he finds them, even though it wouldn't threaten the [[StatusQuoIsGod status quo]] in any meaningful way.

* In ''PrincessGwenevereAndTheJewelRiders'', there's the Jewel Keep room in the Crystal Palace, where all the recovered magical Crown Jewels are "safely" kept (Kale gets there quite easily at the end of the first season).

* In the SoulSeries, Voldo guards his dead master Vercci's Money Vault. In each subsequent installment, the Vault seems to have increased in size and grandeur from a small, dirty room to being roughly the size of the [[{{Batman}} Batcave]], complete with its own ''port''.

* The treasure room from ''NationalTreasure''
* The pirate ship full of treasure in ''TheGoonies''

* The Cave of Wonders in ''{{Aladdin}}''

* ''{{Shadowrun}}'' adventure "Survival of the Fittest" has a Treasure Room in a dragon's lair.

* Carries over to WesternAnimation, too: Scrooge McDuck has the Money Bin. Notable in that while it's still as trapped and guarded as any other pile of wealth that violates Euclidean geometry, it's intentionally set aside as valuable for ''sentimental'' reasons.

* The locked treasure in ''AliBabaAndTheFortyThieves''

* In RobertEHoward's ConanTheBarbarian stories, these feature in both "Tower of the Elephant" and "Black Colossus".
-->''The treasure was there, heaped in staggering profusion — piles of diamonds, sapphires, rubies, turquoises, opals, emeralds; ziggurats of jade, jet and lapis lazuli; pyramids of gold wedges; teocallis of silver ingots; jewel-hilted swords in cloth-of-gold sheaths; golden helmets with colored horsehair crests, or black and scarlet plumes; silver scaled corselets; gem-crusted harness worn by warrior-kings three thousand years in their tombs; goblets carven of single jewels; skulls plated with gold, with moonstones for eyes; necklaces of human teeth set with jewels. The ivory floor was covered inches deep with gold dust that sparkled and shimmered under the crimson glow with a million scintillant lights. ''

* The dragon's treasure hoard from TheHobbit.
* There's a huge treasure chamber in RudyardKipling's Second JungleBook containing all the gold, jewels and precious artifacts of a now-vanished dynasty. Subverted in that the only person ever to rediscover it is Mowgli, and since he was RaisedByWolves he doesn't want any of it. (Well, except for one shiny object, and that ends up causing more trouble than it's worth.)

* Has appeared in too many Dungeons And Dragons modules to name.

* Shadowrun adventure "Survival of the Fittest" has a Treasure Room in a dragon's lair.
* Addendum to the D&D example: special mention to the infamous Tomb Of Horrors's Treasure Room.
