Queen
Queen is one of the two main antagonists in the 1981 animated fantasy film Heavy Metal, in the segment "Den". She is voiced by Marilyn Lightstone.
Ruler in the world of Neverwhere, the Queen is first shown attempting to sacrifice a young woman named Katherine "Kat" Wells to the god Uhluhtc. Kat is saved by a stranger named "Den", who came to this land after being a young boy on Earth only hours before.
The Queen runs into Den again after he fails to sneak into her domain undetected, in order to steal the powerful Loc-Nar. She sadistically waits for her minions to slit the man's throat, when the sight of his attractive body brings a quick change of heart. The Queen brings Den to her private chambers and makes love to him, but the hero escapes in order to save Kat from being sacrificed once again by the story's other villain, Ard. The Queen and her soldiers pursues him atop giant winged insects.
The story concludes with The Queen and Ard fighting at the place of the ritual, each struggling to obtain the Loc-Nar for themselves. However, as the Loc-Nar is a being of pure evil, it ends up engulfing them in a bright light and (presumably) killing them both.
