Concept art with notes.

The Mistress of Pain is a likely candidate to be a Boss type monster. Apart from having a title, a conceptual artwork depicting the Mistress of Pain lists several of her abilities - more than typical monsters have.

She looks extraordinarily horrible, like a demonic, centaur-like hybrid of human and spider. She walks on six spider-like legs with pointed metal greaves; two smaller, bladed legs protrude where a spider's head or a human's abdomen would be. Her upper body is humanoid, but inhuman in that she has claws and many sharp teeth. She has a huge spider's abdomen with large spinnerets that produce sticky silk which impedes player movement, as well as explosive projectiles that disperse in a cluster around the player.

Another artwork depicts her hanging by chains attached to her greaves, wearing dress-like attire and a serene expression. The significance of this has not been made clear.

Spells and Abilities

Explosive Projectiles - projectiles that disperse in a cluster around the player.
Sticky Silk - slows player movement

Related Monsters

There is no known related monsters to the Mistress of Pain.

Background

Besides the fact that she lives in something that looks like a sewer, hanging from chains with skulls dangling around her, in her pretty dress, nothing is really known about the Mistress of Pain. Seeing as she has a nice dress, it might be some corrupted human princess in ages back, who's still very aware of fashion, but no one can do anything besides speculating.

Lore

Rumor holds that Archbishop Lazarus loosed a silent terror in the caves near Leoric's Manor before he died. He labored for weeks over a group of unusually large spiders, and many of his servants quietly disappeared during this time... The largest creature led the others into the caves--none who have ventured there have returned.

Development

The Mistress was originally only shown with the chains, and called the "Spider Queen" by the Diablo 3 community, but a few crumbles of information became available when the denoted concept art was released. The first work must have been on July 2003 or earlier, since concept art by Peter Lee is dated to this time.

Media

You can find pictures in the Diablo 3 screenshot and picture gallery:

The Mistress is one of few new monsters that have received great attention by the Diablo 3 community. In this gallery, two pieces of fan art is also included with the official art:
