A master of deception, the Jeweled Queen is a predator in the truest form. Many would be heroes have rescued an alabaster skinned beauty, only to disappear from the annals of history. In truth, the Jeweled Queen has more akin to a preying mantis. The Gem-like stones that rest atop her crown are actually eyes, and the face of the creature seems to separate along the chin and throat, revealing a horrible maw of sickened teeth. Before she feeds, the Jeweled Queen prefers to harvest the still-living soul of its victim, syphoning their life energies into its mouth. Most dangerous is the allure the that she can exude over her thrall; often a Jeweled Queen will be protected by the very creature she plans to devour next. A warped sense of scruples compel her to mate one last glorious time with her victim before she slays them body and soul; a parting gift for their contribution to her well-being.
