Villains Beginning With 'Q'

Queen Bavmorda

Willow film (1988)

The wicked sorceress queen called Bavmorda. From her throne inside the fortress of Nockmaar, she wielded her black magic to conquer the surrounding land and enslave its people. It seemed that nothing could stop her.

There was only one thing Bavmorda feared: the birth of a child with a peculiar birthmark, whom prophecies foretold would bring about her downfall. In paranoia, the queen imprisoned all the expecting mothers in the land, and soon enough, the child of the prophecy was born in her custody; but before Bavmorda could inflict her monstrous will, the kind midwife escaped from the palace, bringing with her the baby girl. Realizing that Bavmorda's minions would soon find her, the midwife put the blessed child on a raft and sent it downstream, trusting fate to run its course.

A young farmer named Willow Ufgood, one of a halfling-like people called Nelwyns, is drawn away from his sheltered home to save Elora Danan when his two children discover the baby on the river.

Willow is chosen by the council with the help of a few others to take the baby back to the land of it's own kind, eventually aided by the disillusioned master swordsman Madmartigan, who has turned to a life of roguery, sorceress Fin Raziel, who has been turned into a possum by Bavmorda, as well as two diminutive brownies Franjean and Rool. They are initially thwarted, but later joined, by the queen's daughter Sorsha.

After a fight with Queen Bavmorda in her castle, Willow thwarts her by pretending to use his own magic, she is struck by lightning in her tallest tower and is killed.
