A ghoul queen is an infrequently seen monster in [[SLASH'EM]], not being randomly generated. They appear in the [[Special level (SLASH'EM)#Temple of Moloch|Temple of Moloch]], and can also be generated by the summon undead spell ("Undead creatures are called forth from the grave!") that liches gain in SLASH'EM.

==Strategy==
Oftentimes, one will find ghoul queens able to [[summon nasties]]. Like the [[Vampire mage (SLASH'EM)|vampire mage]], they are not [[covetous]], and so will not warp away after being hit a few times. Their dual spellcasting attacks make them quite dangerous, as they are quite able to quickly fill the level with nasties. Even in melee combat they are dangerous, as they are quite likely to curse your items. An artifact weapon that does double damage against them is advisable; in general, the large number of undead spellcasters in SLASH'EM makes [[Sunsword]] quite an appealing weapon, for those who can obtain it.

-Ghoul queens are incredibly annoying monsters to face, since they can repeatedly use [[summon nasties]] with their two spellcasting attacks and quickly fill up the level. They are all the more dangerous to face at melee range, as their combination of paralyzing claw attacks and spells like [[curse items]] or [[Destroy armor (monster spell)|destroy armor]] can be potentially deadly. Both ghoul queens and ghoul mages should be treated as priority targets when dealing with a room full of monsters, and may even be worth a [[scroll of genocide]].
+Ghoul queens are incredibly annoying monsters to face, since they can repeatedly use [[summon nasties]] with their two spellcasting attacks and quickly fill up the level. Their high movement speed makes them all the more dangerous to face if they close in on you, as their combination of paralyzing claw attacks and spells like [[curse items]] or [[Destroy armor (monster spell)|destroy armor]] can be potentially deadly. As with most higher-level spellcasters, have a means of curse removal on hand in case things go awry - if you lack curse removal items, ghoul mages should be taken out with prejudice when possible. Ghoul queens should be treated as priority targets when dealing with a room full of monsters, and may even be worth a [[scroll of genocide]].
-[[Artifact weapon]]s such as [[Sunsword]], [[Disrupter]] and the [[Holy Spear of Light]] are appealing options if you happen to obtain one. [[Undead Slayer]]s are capable of detecting ghoul queens due to their innate ability to [[Warned of monster type|sense undead]], which can make it easier to avoid them or dispose of them efficiently.
