One thing TimeLord, she's substantially younger than thousands of years. Indeed I'd say she is substantially younger than even one thousand years old. Lilith only came to power and got married about a thousand years ago, and Druella was her fourth child, so depending on just how long the intervals between births were, she may have been born decades later.

Back to Blackknight's question, old monsters do sometimes remain unmarried, not because they do not want to get married but due to having particular requirements, living in remote areas, or simple bad luck. For instance, Bapho-sama is unmarried (or at least was at the time of MGE volume 1's interview with her), despite her being over a thousand years old, due to baphomets usually requiring that a man they marry either prove themselves to be superior in battle, or charm them with their persistence and genuine devotion in courtship. Bapho-sama evidently has not encountered someone who did either for her.

But as Jade-Quiver noted, KC's official stance is that Druella's relationship status is "secret."

Timjer, it should be noted that Druella's extremism has been clarified in more recent books to be substantially less extreme. Namely she seems quite willing to leave human nations be if they don't pose a threat, stating plainly that if the good-hearted Castor (the puppet king at the time) had been the real king of Lescatie, she would have had no reason to take over.

Also, the "malevolence" of those other monsters you mentioned amounts mostly to teasing (manticores) or just living in odd ways (dryads, will-o-wisps).
