Mab, also known as Medb or Meive, is the queen of Connacht. Famous for her capricious nature and her many lovers, she wages many wars for the sake of her continued glory. The Cattle Raid of Cooley makes her cross paths with her archenemy Cu Chulainn, who shamed her numerous times by slaying her pets, warriors and handmaidens. She is the enemy (and former wife) of Conchobar mac Nessa, king of Ulster, and is best known for starting the Táin Bó Cúailnge ("The Cattle Raid of Cooley") to steal Ulster's prize stud bull Donn Cúailnge.
Medb is strong-willed, ambitious, cunning and promiscuous, and is an archetypal warrior queen. She is believed by some to be a manifestation of the sovereignty goddess. Medb is described as a fair haired wolf queen, whose form was so beautiful that it robbed men of two-thirds of their valor upon seeing her. She may be the inspiration for the fairy Queen Mab found in William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet and other media.
Queen Mab is said to be the queen of the Unseelie Court and the dark counterpart of the fairy queen Titania. She was first referred as a fairy in William Shakespeare's play Romeo and Juliet, where "she is the fairies' midwife." Later, she appears in other poetry and literature, and in various guises in drama and cinema. In the play, her activity is described in a famous speech by Mercutio written originally in prose and often adapted into iambic pentameter, in which she is described as a miniature creature who performs midnight pranks upon sleepers. Being driven by a team of atomies, she rides her chariot over their noses and "delivers the fancies of sleeping men." She is also described as a midwife to help sleepers "give birth" to their dreams.
She was immortalized in Mercutio's legendary monologue of "Romeo And Juliet" (Act I, Scene 4), which is often called the "Queen Mab Speech," which included:
And in this state she gallops night by night Through lovers' brains, and then they dream of love O'er courtiers' knees, that dream on court'sies straight O'er lawyers' fingers, who straight dream on fees O'er ladies' lips, who straight on kisses dream Which oft the angry Mab with blisters plagues...
Queen Mab can be obtained through evolving High Pixie. Even though Queen Mab can be created via secondary evolution from Pixie, unlike Kurama or Wu Kong, she can be encountered in normal battle and can be persuaded to join the Demi-fiend's team.
"A queen appearing in Celtic mythology. She is the queen of Connacht in Ireland. Her name means "she who intoxicates." She is considered a goddess of the harvest and of rulership, owing to her many marriages with Irish kings. Queen Mab tried to seduce the Irish hero Cu Chulainn using her own daughter, but failed. In the end, enraged by the enormous losses he inflicted on the army of Connacht, she manipulated him into breaking his geis (taboo), weakening him, and then had him killed by her magicians. Mab's death is recorded in 11th-century documents. She is held to have been killed by a piece of hard cheese flung from a sling. Mab is also known as queen of the fairies, and is identified with the fairy queen Titania."
