Mummy (monster)

Template:Version024 This page is about the various mummy monsters. For the player race, see mummy. For other monstrous mummies, see list of mummies. Template:Monster info

Useful Info

Mummies are the preserved corpses of the dead, raised by Necromancy for various reasons. They have a decent attack which low-level characters should watch out for, but they move slowly and have meager durability. They can be found in the Ossuary, the Tomb, and certain undead-themed vaults.

Tips & Tricks

• Mummies are vulnerable to fire and holy wrath weapons. A simple wand of flame can make short work of them.
• Mummies are slow enough that you can walk them upstairs and outrun them, leaving them on a cleared level.

Variant Mummy

Occasionally, you will find an Ossuary with a couple bog mummies. This monster is capable of casting Throw Frost (3d5) and Slow, but otherwise is similar to regular mummies.

History

• Prior to 0.17, basic mummies had a death curse that could randomly curse one item in the player's inventory when killed.
• Prior to 0.15, allowing allied or enslaved creatures to kill mummies would spare you from the death curse.
