The Fallen Queen is a speculated monster type; not one yet confirmed by Blizzard. The D3 Team has strongly hinted that there are more types of Fallen yet to be revealed, and some sort of giant, insect-like spawning unit, perhaps called a Queen or a Mother, seems a safe bet.

The silhouettes of six types of Fallen were shown during a panel discussion at BlizzCon 2009; the five known types and one huge, blobby giant, which most fans immediately assumed would be a spawning unit.

The Fallen Queen has not been confirmed, but the evidence for its existence is strong.


Two other types of Fallen are hinted in the writings of Abd al-Hazir, but he is not giving further details:

Abd: I suspect the existence of at least two other types of fallen, but I will need to conduct further research before I reveal my theories as to the ultimate familial structure of these fiends.


Also, during the Monster and Art Panel at BlizzCon 2009, one of the Blizzard developers said this about the Fallen:

Are there going to be some more Fallen? I'm inclined to say probably. We can't really confirm anything yet.


Silhouette Confirmation

During the Monster and Art panel at BlizzCon 2009, a slide was shown with the silhouettes of various Fallen. The Imp, Hound, Shaman, Overseer, and Lunatic are easily recognizable, but what's the huge blob in the center?


No one from Blizzard has ever spoken of a "Fallen Queen" but the question of where all these male warriors come from has often been asked by fans, without any adequate answer being provided. A huge, egg-laying queen of some sort seems a viable answer, and that center silhouette certainly doesn't look like an ambulatory combat unit.

Known Fallen Types

Fallen were officially confirmed in May 2009, when Blizzard debuted their bestiary page. It contained information on the various types of Fallen found in Diablo III, along with screenshots and some concept art. The following pages offer details on the individual types of fallen.

Four of these types; all but the Lunatic, were seen in action during the Blizzcon 2009 demo. It is believed that other types of Fallen remain to be revealed. See above for the relevant quotes.


Media

There are numerous screenshots and artworks of Fallen in the Image Gallery, though none yet show the Fallen Queen.
