I explored the large area called the Temple Steppes and found a locked golden chest. I'm guessing there is a large champion I need to kill in order to get the key but I can't seem to find it. I've looked all over the map and had no luck. Is this a bug? Is the key somewhere else? Did I really just miss the champion?

I found it in the area "The Sundered Battlefield". There is a small instance called 'Notch's Mine', which contains a few creepers.
It is worth keeping in mind that since Torchlight 2's areas are put together randomly, it could be anywhere.
Assuming Windows 7 or Vista, the save folder should be located in:
C:\Users\%USERNAME%\Documents\My Games\Runic Games\Torchlight 2\save\
For Windows XP it is located in:
C:\Documents and Settings\%USERNAME%\My Documents\My Games\Runic Games\Torchlight 2\save\

Find an enemy called Bittersprite on the same map as the Locked Golden Chest. Bittersprite looks like a large wasp or hornet. It is not necessarily near the chest, it can be anywhere on the map. You can see it floating in the top-right area of this screenshot:
Kill the Bittersprite and it will drop a Golden Key. The key will not appear in your inventory when you pick it up, but in the top-right corner of the screen it will say -You Found- and show a picture of the key. You can now open the Locked Golden Chest.
