Maleficent

"Now you shall deal with me, O witch! And all the powers of heck!"

Maleficent was a powerful sorceress who lived underneath Storybrooke, who had the ability to transform into a dragon. She is portrayed by Kristin Bauer van Straten.

Season 1
Maleficent is first seen in her underground lair watching Desperate Housewives. She is confronted by Zelena, who has been sent to assassinate her, but Maleficent barely acknowledges her existence until Zelena destroys her television. Maleficent and Zelena fight, and Maleficent easily overpowers Zelena, until Zelena's sister Regina arrives. Feeling outnumbered, Maleficent transforms into a dragon and almost defeats Regina. However, when the dragon burns part of Regina's favourite dress, Regina gets really pissed off and turns into a monstrous being, and impales the dragon upon her long, clawed fingers, causing the dragon to explode into flames, leaving behind a pile of ashes and a golden egg.
