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.

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.

She is playable in ''[=SuperChargers=]'' as the main BigBad of the Sea villains after she is defeated in Villain Pursuit.

She was among the Doom Raiders who agreed to become Senseis at Skylanders Academy, but first had to re-arrange all the books in the Academy's library. Much to the Queen’s dismay, this task had nothing to do with gold. But it gave her an opportunity to rethink her insatiable desire for treasure and that maybe there is more to life than stealing. She now trains the Sorcerer Class and considers herself ''mostly'' reformed.

She says the with the Ultimate Weapon, they are going to steal all the gold that exists in the entire Skylands, [[spoiler:and sure enough, when the Ultimate Weapon is complete, one of the rules she bestows upon the citizens of Skylands is to deliver all the gold to her "as fitting tribute".]]
* HairTriggerTemper: Her temper gets shorter and shorter the more ''Trap Team'' goes on and the more the Skylanders starts derailing her plans to take over Skylands.
* HeelFaceReturn: Goes from the leader of the most notorious gang of evil-doers in Skylands to a Sorcerer Sensei in ''Imaginators''.
* {{Irony}}: In her “Meet the Villains” video, she says that she hates silver and only wants gold. If her villain quest in Trap Team is completed, her more powerful upgraded appearance has her in silver.
* ItsAllAboutMe: Even after she’s been captured, she holds her high opinion of gold intact. She talks a lot about how much better Skylander Academy would be if it was made of gold, which is something only she cares about.
* KnowWhenToFoldEm: In the "Graduation" story of the IDW comics, she has Gulper as a giant capture all of the minis (the only heroes available to deal with her and the Doom Raiders) except for Pet-Vac, who also holds her Golden Egg. She tries to get him to surrender and give her the egg, and he does just that, [[ISurrenderSuckers only to then use his vacuum to take the egg back and use it on Gulper]]. With her fellow Doom Raiders taken out and having no other weapons on her, Golden Queen gives in and surrenders.
* LackOfEmpathy: Doesn’t seem to care that her fellow Doom Raiders get captured by the hands of the Skylanders and turned over to their side, viewing them as sacrifices in the progress of building and powering the Ultimate Weapon. [[spoiler:But when said weapon is complete, one of her rules for Skylands is for the Skylanders to release them.]]
* LargeAndInCharge: The tallest Doom Raider and the leader.
* LargeHam: She's very soft-spoken at first, but the more the Skylanders foils her evil plan, the more she slips into screaming her lungs off, and it all starts in the scene where Dr. Krankcase announces that they’ve run out of goo for the Ultimate Weapon.
* {{Leitmotif}}: "Bedouin Feast", an active Egyptian theme.
* LovesOnlyGold: She doesn’t want objects made of silver or bronze or any other valuable metal. She only wants gold.
* TheMagicTouch: She can turn anything into gold by touching it which would be enough for anyone obssessed with it, but that's not enough for this Queen. She still wants more so she resorts to also stealing gold.
* MakeMyMonsterGrow: [[spoiler:She grows into a giant for the final phase of her boss battle and becomes a StationaryBoss in ''Trap Team''.]]
* MamaBear: In The Golden Desert level, she gets furious when the Skylanders turn her Chompy Worm guards into butterflies who fly away when they grow their wings.
* MoneyFetish: She just loooooves gold. It even heals her in her fight.
* MoneySpider: She fits this to a tee as she is made of gold. This also carries over to some of the mobile spin-offs.
** In ''Trap Team'', she can only becomes this after her villain quest has been completed. Throughout the final chapter, various machinical piggy banks can be found, and when Golden Queen interacts with them, she makes them spew out gold.
** In ''Lost Islands'', if she is captured she increases the amount of gold gotten from Sanctuaries.
** In a {{Downplayed|Trope}} example from ''Ring of Heroes'', she is the final boss of the Cave of Gold mode, which is the mode the player would want to take when they want to farm more gold.
* NearVillainVictory: [[spoiler:After Wolfgang sends her the 10,000 year old cheese from the future for the Ultimate Weapon, she manages to have the chance to rule Skylands by bestowing rules upon the inhabitants and trapping them in snow globes with the weapon if anyone breaks them. The reason she didn't win is because the Skylanders and their allies wouldn't give up and she didn't do much to actually stop them.]]
* NeverMyFault: [[spoiler:[[VillainousBreakdown “Was it too much to ask for all Skylands to follow a few simple rules?!”]], when her rules for Skylands were: for all Skylanders to surrender and release the captured Doom Raiders, all gold to be delivered to her and giving her the permit to create as many rules as she wants.]]
* NiceJobFixingItVillain: In the intro of ''Trap Team'', when Gulper has grown into a giant ready to take on the Trap Masters, she joins in and shoots a golden beam at them. This allows Wildfire to use his shield to reflect the light from said beam to Gulper, blinding him and knocking him down, making him fall on the other Doom Raiders.
* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: Sounds like Pat Carroll (Disney's Ursula), particularly when she does an EvilLaugh. This is because she's voiced by C.C.H. Pounder, best known for playing Amanda Waller in ''[[WesternAnimation/JusticeLeague Justice League Unlimited]]''.
* OneHitKO: Her ability “The Queen’s Decree” in ''Battlecast'' allows her to KO an enemy.
* OneWingedAngel: [[spoiler:The two final phases of her battle has her growing into a giant.]]
* OrcusOnHisThrone: She lets the other Doom Raiders do her bidding of constructing the Ultimate Weapon while she safely stays behind in whatever lair they have (Chompy Mage mentions that he is gathering Traptanium that they use to power it, Dreamcatcher was sent to collect information about the material and Dr. Krankcase is the genius behind the Ultimate Weapon). Even when the Doom Raiders squared off against the Trap Team in the opening cutscene, everyone else was fighting while Golden Queen was sitting all the way up on her throne and only acted once The Gulper had grown into a giant. This leads to a bit of a [[DeconstructedTrope deconstruction]] in regards to Wolfgang, as he doesn't like how the other Doom Raider members has to put themselves in danger, leading to them getting captured by the Skylanders, all for the ultimate plan they have while Golden Queen can stay behind in safety. [[spoiler:So when enough members have been captured and reformed, [[TheStarscream Wolfgang betrays her]] and uses the plan to get a stinky cheese from the future to send himself there so he can conquer Skylands in that time period. He does send the ten-thousand year old cheese to her via future post delivery so she can put the finishing touches on the Ultimate Weapon.]]
* PowerFloats: During her boss battle, she moves around the arena via levitation.
* PowerGlows: Whenever she gets really angry, her entire body lights up. Makes sense, given that she’s made of gold. Only in the CGI cutscenes and not in-game though, but that could be because there aren't a lot of times where she gets angry in gameplay or during cutscenes that use the in-game engine.
* PreFinalBoss: In terms of fighting the big villains. After getting built up throughout ''Trap Team'' as the BigBad, she then gets downgraded to this as [[spoiler:Kaos takes the chance to hijack the Ultimate Weapon while the Skylanders are busy with her.]]
** She is also this in ''Battlecast'', as the Earth Realm is the world right before Kaos' Realm.
* PsychopathicWomanchild: She isn't anything like this at first, ''especially'' compared to [[BigBadWannabe Kaos]]. But as the Skylanders gets further and further along in stopping her ultimate plan, she starts slipping into becoming more and more immature and unstable, as she starts [[EvilIsHammy screaming in anger]] and [[HairTriggerTemper throwing tantrums]]. As described below, she goes through a VillainousBreakdown not once, not twice, but ''thrice'' in the second half of ''Trap Team''.
* RedEyesTakeWarning: Going nicely along with her gold and valuables motifs, she has rubies for eyes. And the opening of Trap Team has a part where they are shown across dark clouds.
* ScarabPower: She attacks with scarabs in various ways.
** In ''Imaginators'', her primary attack is to shoot scarabs. When upgraded, they can release gold dust on enemies to slow them down and give Golden Queen the ability to summon an even larger one. And finally, her Sky-Chi power is to unleash a swarm of scarabs.
** In ''Battlecast'', she has two abilities relating to scarabs. The first is simply titled “Scarab”, which allows her to snare an enemy and draw a new card at the expense of giving both her team and the opposing team one crystal each. The other is “Scarab Swarm” which shuffles three Scarabs into the enemy deck.
* ScrewTheRulesIMakeThem: [[spoiler:She presents three rules for the people to of Skylands to follow, otherwise she will use the Ultimate Weapon on them. The rule third is that she has permission to add as many rules as she wants.]]
* ShutUpKirk: When Kaos speaks up about how he thinks the Doom Raiders should beat the Skylanders, she creates a gold pacifier and puts it in Kaos’ mouth to shut him up. [[DownplayedTrope Kaos may not be good enough to be a Kirk, but given that he later joins the Skylanders to beat her, it’s close enough]].
* StationaryBoss: She becomes this in the second half of her boss battle [[spoiler:[[AttackOfTheFiftyFootWhatever after she grows into a giant]]]].
* StatusInflictionAttack: As a Sensei, her first upgrade upgrades her scarabs to release gold dust that slows down enemies.
* ATasteOfTheirOwnMedicine: Said almost word for word. After getting sucked into the Traptanium vortex, she admits that being trapped in a Traptanium Crystal is similar to what she does when she turns people into gold.
* {{Touche}}: After she has been defeated and trapped in the Traptanium Crystal, her first instinct is to react in anger to her fate, but she then calms down when she realizes that this is her getting [[ATasteOfTheirOwnMedicine a taste of her own medicine]], as explained above.
* TranquilFury: After Wolfgang suggests a change in management, she simply says “Is that so?” in a calm voice and turns the chicken leg he’s about to eat into gold.
* VilerNewVillain: She gets portrayed as being more dangerous and more evil than Kaos.
* VillainousBreakdown: This is one queen who hates it when things don’t go her way.
** When Dr. Krankcase announces that they’ve lost their supply of green goo for the Ultimate Weapon, she raises her voice in anger as she believes this means that their hopes of building the Ultimate Weapon is over. Luckily for them, it’s not.
** [[spoiler:When the Skylanders have found her temple in the Golden Desert (and headed back to Skylander Academy due to Cali being turned into gold by the Queen), she goes crazy over that they would attack her, thinking she was fair with her demands for Skylands and aims her Ultimate Weapon at the academy.]]
** [[spoiler:She gets her last one during her boss fight when she is almost beaten in her giant form and [[AdvancingBossOfDoom chases the Skylander and Cali down the stairs to her throne]].]]
-->''Now you're really gonna pay! Enough! Enough with your insolence, insubordination and about ten other things! [[ChewingTheScenery ATTAAAAACK!!!]]''
* YouHaveFailedMe: When Dr. Krankcase announces that they don't have enough green goo to fully power the Ultimate Weapon, she takes the failure out on him. She doesn't come close to killing him though, as Krankcase immediately presents to her [[XanatosSpeedChess his solution]].
