Queen Umbra, or simply Umbra, is a female umbrum unicorn, the former tyrannical ruler of the Crystal Empire, and is the genderbent counterpart of King Sombra. She holds the self-proclaimed title of 'Queen of All Monsters'. Umbrums are an ancient race of wraith-like beings who once terrorized the Crystal Empire before being sealed away.

A thousand years ago, Queen Umbra took over the Crystal Empire, but was stopped by Princess Celestia and Luna, and banished into the frozen north. Before being dethroned and banished, Queen Umbra put a curse on the Crystal Empire which made it disappear in the frozen north.

Queen Umbra is a dark gray unicorn with a black spiky mane and tail. Unlike regular unicorn horns, which match the pony's coat color and are straight and segmented, Umbra's horn is curved, smooth, sharp at the tip and it gradients from dark gray to red at the tip. When she uses her dark magic, her horn's aura appears as purple, inky bubbles. She has sharp teeth with two visible fangs unlike other ponies, and red irises. When angered or using her powers, her otherwise white sclera appear green and have a purple mist emanating from them. She wears silver armor on her legs and neck, a crown with horn-like points on her head, and a red cape that covers her flank. She has no visible cutie mark.

Queen Umbra is a shrewd negotiator, nigh unflappable, fiercely intelligent, pompous, self-centered, and arrogant, believing with full confidence that no one (not even Discord) can overcome her powers. She believes that she alone is capable of conquering Equestria, and that she has no need for allies. As such, she is dangerously overconfident. She is sadistic, fierce, and cruel to the point of addressing the Crystal Ponies as her "crystal slaves" and appears to delight in their misery. She presents herself as disarmingly flamboyant and polite when speaking, and carries herself with regal poise, but this can quickly shift to outright bestial fury if she is angered.

Queen Umbra can generate black crystals that function as weapons and neutralize magic, and she can turn her body into a shadowy mist to dodge attacks and travel large distances. Often she will use this power to slip effortlessly through openings like windows or cell bars, or to shroud creatures in darkness to further intimidate them. She is also a powerful spellcaster in her own right, shown when she cast a curse to make the Crystal Empire disappear. She can subjugate creatures into doing her bidding with her gaze, as well as trap them with hallucinations of their greatest fears. She can also conjure helmets (which serve the same function as her mind-controlling gaze) from out of thin air.
