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.
Much like Azmodan, Cydaea will taunt the player as they decent the [[Tower of the Damned]] with her silky voice, descending from the ceiling into the player's view from a web. She is the "mother" of the [[succubus]] [[monster]] type and shows great affinity towards them.
===Spells and Boss Abilities===* '''Explosive Projectiles''' - projectiles that disperse in a cluster around the player.* '''Sticky Silk''' - slows player movement
Cydaea has a small handful of abilities, and the fight is more about attrition than all-out melee combat, as seen in a fight like [[Rakanoth]] or [[Izual]]. A basic melee attack is listed for her in the game's files, but she doesn't appear to use it.
Her abilities are as follows:
<!* '''Pain Bolts''' --===Known X Types===Use on The maiden will fire a "family" monster article.* Can be used in "Goatman" or handful of green projectiles imbued with poison damage at the like* Display the different types of enemies, like weapon/equipment carried, or behaviour differencehero for moderate damage.* Example: Warrior, Archer, Mage-->

* '''Spider Pits''' - Cydaea will fire a green projectile on the ground which erupts into a pool of green acid. Small spiders, low in damage and health but high in number, will continuously spawn from the pit. She often casts this before fleeing from the player.

==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.

Add this section if you need ::Though Azmodan is close to discuss Diablo I game monsters all of his lieutenants, Cydaea is his special favorite. The Maiden of Lust is both beautiful and grotesque in appearance, with the torso of a woman and the same name/typelegs of a spider. Her voice is said to be as smooth as honey, but she only speaks words of death.-->

===Development===
==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.
The Mistress of Pain was originally removed from the game over time constraints, but after a fan created a cosplay costume of her for BlizzCon, the development team decided she needed to be put back in. They then changed her name to the Maiden of Lust, and chose her as a lieutenant for Azmodan's army.
