“As good as gold and a lot more evil.”

– Villain Vault

The Golden Queen is a golden being who is one of the Earth villains in Skylanders: Trap Team. She is the leader of a group of the most notorious villains in Skylands called the Doom Raiders.

In Skylanders: SuperChargers, she appears in the Sea Racing Action Pack as both a trophy and a playable racer.

Personality 

As her name suggests, the Golden Queen completely values solid gold of any kind. She is extremely greedy, never having enough gold until all of it in the world of Skylands was hers, even if it meant turning objects and people into gold in an attempt to satisfy her desire for more of it. As leader of the Doom Raiders, she has a feared, yet respected position among her allies. The Golden Queen however, can be easily angered (which causes her to glow brightly) if things don't turn out the way they were planned and doesn't tolerate failure. Despite having recruited the Doom Raiders, she shows no concern when several of them were captured as long as their roles in helping to complete the Ultimate Weapon were fulfilled. 

The Golden Queen firmly believes that gold surpasses everything including friends, as evident when she turned Cali to gold, she claimed that the frozen Mabu was something more precious to her than just a friend to the Skylanders. 

Abilities

The Golden Queen can turn anyone or anything into solid gold with a touch of her finger or with the power of her golden staff. Being made of gold and other riches, she can regenerate herself by absorbing golden treasures. She can create golden, winged devices that send spinning disks and generate rings of energy from her staff. When submerged in solid gold substance, she can grow to a large size.

Appearance

While the rest of her is made entirely out of gold, the Golden Queen has other attributes. For starters, her hair is bronze colored tied into a ponytail with a golden blue topaz-encrusted ponytail holder, as well as her crown is decorated with turquoise plating. She has rubies for eyes, and aquamarine on her fingers for nails. Her long golden one shoulder tunic has a turquoise neckline, along with her under-the-shoulder arm warmers and matching skirt and shoes, each have bits of bronze.

Story

History

A wicked queen made entirely of gold and rich beyond her wildest imagination, the aptly named Golden Queen would gladly trade her entire fortune for just a little more. But why trade when you can steal? And that’s what she did. She stole, and stole, and stole! But no matter how much she took, it was never enough. Through evil sorcery, she even learned how to turn people and objects into solid gold. However, that STILL wasn’t enough. The idea that any amount of treasure in Skylands did not belong to her was infuriating, so she embarked on a quest to take every last cent of it. But she couldn’t do it alone. It was then that she formed the Doom Raiders – the most notorious group of villains ever assembled. As the leader, the Golden Queen promised riches, world domination, and even all-you-can-eat shrimp in order to recruit special criminals to serve her cause. Together, the Doom Raiders terrorized Skylands until Master Eon and the Trap Masters put a stop to them, locking up all of them inside Cloudcracker Prison!

Skylanders: Trap Team

After Kaos freed the Doom Raiders from the prison, the Golden Queen stopped her fellow comrades from attacking the evil Portal Master and revealed to him that she had already developed a plan to rule Skylands. Creating an ultimate weapon made from Traptanium, the Queen planned on using it to obtain all of the gold in the world other than ruling Skylands, a plan which irritated Kaos. The Golden Queen was challenged to an 'Evil-Off' by a furious Kaos for leadership of the Doom Raiders and the control over all of Skylands. She easily won the duel by simply turning Kaos into a golden statue and abandoned him in parts unknown, taking Glumshanks with her and the remaining Doom Raiders.

When the green goo needed to supply the Ultimate Weapon was cut off by the Skylanders, the Golden Queen wasn't pleased by Dr. Krankcase's failure but heeded his alternate solution to the problem. To power up their machine, they could use a slice of cheese provided by Krankcase and bury it, then go to 10,000 years into the future when the cheese has become stinky enough to power the Ultimate Weapon. The Golden Queen then ordered both Wolfgang and Dr. Krankcase to find and capture Kaos, as a Portal Master was needed to travel through time. Despite Krankcase's and Wolfgang's defeat at the hands of the Skylanders, Wolfgang was able to send the stinky slice of cheese from 10,000 years in the future to the Golden Queen's doorstep.

The Golden Queen sends a transmission to all of Skylands of her rule.

With the Ultimate Weapon at full power, she sent a transmission to all of Skylands where she gave her demands like the surrender of the Skylanders, the freedom of the Doom Raiders, all gold in Skylands be delivered to her in tribute, and she reserved the royal right to make an infinite number of rules. To prove a point to all of Skylands, she made an example of those who oppose her by transporting Time Town to the inside of a crystal globe that was held in the palm of her hand. The Skylanders were able to locate the Golden Queen's location, The Golden Desert, where it is home to Chompy Worms as well undead soldiers under the Queen's servitude. While navigating through the desert with Cali, the Golden Queen became infuriated by the intrusion and turned Cali into a gold statue. The Skylanders were able to drive off the Queen's forces and save Cali, but the Doom Raider escaped. In response to the opposition, the Golden Queen ordered the Ultimate Weapon to be directed to the Skylanders Academy.

To stop the Ultimate Weapon, the Skylanders would have to defeat the Golden Queen. They entered her lair to confront the Queen, who intended to turn the Skylander into a golden trophy. During the heat of the battle, the Golden Queen plunged herself into a pool of gold and grew enormous in size. She soon began chasing after the Skylander and Cali down the stairs leading to her throne, only to be trapped under a stone arch. The Skylanders brought down the arch upon the Queen, defeating her and ending her reign of terror by capturing her.

Skylanders Issue #12

The Golden Queen and few of the the Doom Raiders, Wolfgang, Dr Krankcase, and The Gulper, infiltrated the Skylander Academy under the guise of a musical band named The Evil Imposters set for the school graduation party. When their equipment was unloaded, the Doom Raiders immediately revealed their true identities and the Golden Queen proceeded to turn all present school faculty into gold statues while her allies scared away the guests. The Golden Queen planned to ambush the returning Skylanders and turn them to gold as well, leaving them to a golden fate.

However the Minis caught sight of the Golden Queen's deeds and took out Wolfgang and Dr Krankcase within the Skylander Academy. Upon noticing that something wasn't right, the Golden Queen was caught by surprise when Pet-Vac swiped her golden egg and she chased after the Mini Sky Baron around the courtyard. When the Gulper captured the other Minis, the Golden Queen was willing to spare the Minis for the return of her golden egg. Pet-Vac gave the Golden Queen back the egg, but used his vacuum jet pack to suck in the Queen's staff into his grasp, allowing Pet-Vac to turn the Gulper to gold and freeing the other Minis. Without her golden staff, the Golden Queen was forced to surrender.

Skylanders: SuperChargers

The Golden Queen reappears as a playable racer equipped with her own vehicle, the Glitter Glider. When bested in her Boss Pursuit, the player will be able to race as the Golden Queen.

Relationships

Dreamcatcher

The Golden Queen goes to the Dreamcatcher for relationship advice, but found it questionable.

Wolfgang

The Golden Queen is well aware of Wolfgang's rage and will put him in his place without hesitation if he is out of order or dares to question her authority. The two villains were in a heated argument when Wolfgang was concerned over his fellow Doom Raiders being captured by the Skylanders.
