Queen Zenobia
Sinbad and the Eye of the Tiger film (1977)
The Prince's wicked stepmother, Queen Zenobia, has changed Kassim into a baboon in order to have her own son crowned as caliph. Princess Farah refuses to marry Sinbad until Prince Kassim, her brother, is able to give his consent. Sinbad, his crew, the Princess and the transformed Prince travel to a distant land, fighting every obstacle Zenobia places in their path, to seek the advice of a legendary wise man called Melanthius, who can possibly tell how to end the spell.
Sinbad and his crew eventually find Melanthius and his daughter Dione who agrees to help them in their quest. Melanthius tells Sinbad and his crew that they must travel to the land of Hyperboria to find the ancient pyramid where Kassim can be cured. While on their quest, Zenobia, her son Rafi, and the Minaton (a mechanical version of the Minotaur which she has had fashioned) secretly stalk them. On their quest, Sinbad and his crew encounter creatures such as a giant walrus, a troglodyte (a creature that is friendly to Sinbad and his crew), a smilodon, a trio of ghouls, and a killer wasp.
They end up meeting at the pyramid and after the her son is killed, the Queen invades the body of a Saber-Tooth tiger frozen in ice. After a short battle with Sinbad and his men, the troglodyte intercepts Zenobia and attempts to kill her with a metal spear. She wins that fight, but Sinbad takes the spear, and as Zenobia (as the tiger) leaps from a higher up step, of the flight they are fighting on, Sinbad spears her through the belly. As she lay dying on her back, Sinbad thrusts his sword into her finishing the evil witch.
