==Story==
==Characteristics==
Queen Ferz is first seen when the {{Hero 5}} and his team begin the siege of Crocodilopolis, which happens to be near the time of its completion. She is disguised as [[Madalena]] and appears to be giving a ceremonial speech to the slaves, who are all under mind-control, while also guarding the statue of the Hero's wife.

As Madalena, Ferz will attempt to persuade the Hero to swear loyalty to the Order. The Hero must refuse to do so; otherwise he and his party will be [[Curses|cursed]] before engaging the imposter in battle.
Despite being a pallet-swap of dim monsters like [[Gigantes]] and [[Atlas]], Ferz is deceptively intelligent and cunning. Before engaging the Hero in battle, Ferz will give a convincing act as the Hero's mother. If the Hero fails to see through the ruse, this will enable Ferz to inflict a curse on the Hero's party, thus giving her an advantage in their battle. Another difference between her physical-based counterparts is that she has a great degree of magical capability, both in battle and for enthralling the minds of others: Ferz had the capability to single-handedly brainwash an entire legion of slaves. In addition, Ferz has enough magical capability to maintain [[Morph]] for an extended period.

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
*Ferz' sex is unknown, and the title of queen is granted simply due to the chess-piece theme utilized by all members of the Order. It is assumed that Ferz is female due to the character's utilization of Madalena's identity and that Gigantes have no discernible sexual dimorphism.
