"''An ancient vampire, who reside in her dark castle. Do not be fooled, it may look like a woman, but it is a monster.''

A vampire queen is not mere royalty, they are vampire who through age and force made became very old and powerful. They usually look pleasing to the eyes, wearing royal garnments and appearing young and beautiful. These vampires are not to be trifled with as they possess powerful casting abilities and terrifying inherent vampiric powers. They usually stay in their lair with a cadre of servant and soldiers, unafraid of any would be challengers and ready to even invite them inside.

=== Combat ===

A vampire queen will quickly get rid of the meek in her presence with a few evocation spells, if her foes prove to be challenge she will fight as smart and as meanly as she can. She is ultimately a predator and is not above anything to win a fight to the death with would-be slayers.

'''Alternate Form {{Su}}:''' A vampire queen can assume the shape of a [[SRD:Bat|bat]], [[SRD:Dire Bat|dire bat]], [[SRD:Wolf|wolf]], or [[SRD:Dire Wolf|dire wolf]] as a [[SRD:Standard Actions|standard action]]. While in its [[SRD:Alternate Form|alternate form]] the vampire queen gains the [[SRD:Natural Weapons|natural weapons]] and extraordinary special attacks of its new form. It can remain in that form until it assumes another or until the next sunrise.

'''Ancient Bloodline {{Ex}}:''' A vampire queen's Undead hit dice grant her sorcerer casting, has base attack bonus equal to it HD, all good saves and a feat at each odd levels. A vampire queen's hit dice are automatically maximized.  

'''Dark Flight {{Su}}:''' A vampire queen has a fly speed of 60 ft with good maneuverability, while flying supernatural winds protect her, making her immune to ranged attacks that can't pass through a [[SRD:Wind Wall|''wind wall'']].

'''Dire Blood Drain {{Ex}}:''' If an vampire queen strike a creature with it bite critical hit, or pin a creature, she  immediately inflict 2d6 point of [[Constitution]] [[SRD:Ability Drain|Drain]] upon it.

'''Inevitable Reformation {{Ex}}:''' A Vampire Queen is not easy to kill, even after being destroyed she will reform as a cloud within 1d4 hours which allow her to reform her body and equipment as per [[SRD:True Resurrection|''true resurrection'']] at a location of her choosing. If she is slain by an holy artifact or a [[SRD:Wish|wish]] spell is used after her demise she will not reform for an entire century. She may be dealt with in other manners however.

'''Insidious Hypnotism {{Su}}:''' A vampire queen may use ''quickened'' [[Hypnotism, Greater (3.5e Spell)|''greater hypnotism'']] or [[Insidious Suggestion (3.5e Spell)|''insidious suggestion'']] as a supernatural ability at-will both with permanent duration (but may be ended early by the vampire queen). Unlike the spell the immortal vampire do not need line of effect or sight, instead it work on a creature if it able to see or hear the vampire queen over any distance. The DC is [[Charisma]]-based and caster level is equal to hit dice. 

'''Greater Gaseous Form {{Su}}:''' As a [[SRD:Standard Actions|standard action]], a vampire queen can assume [[Greater Gaseous Form (3.5e Spell)|''greater gaseous form'']] at will as the spell ([[SRD:Caster Level|caster level]] 15th), but it can remain gaseous indefinitely and has a fly speed of 120 feet with perfect maneuverability.
