==Useful Info==
'''Menkaure, Prince of Dust''' is a [[unique]] [[mummy (monster)|mummy]] with limited access to dangerous [[Necromancy]]. He's just as vulnerable to fire as a regular mummy, but his powerful melee attacks, ability to [[haste]] himself, and tendency to [[torment]] half your health away in an instant makes him a significant threat.

==Location==
*[[The Dungeon]]:4-7
*The [[Ossuary]]

==Tips & Tricks==
*While undead characters have nothing to fear from Menkaure's spells, the living can lose half their HP in a single turn if he casts Symbol of Torment. Use any [[life protection]] equipment you have if you expect a drawn-out battle with him.
**Undead characters should still be wary about engaging him in melee; as slow and fragile as he is, a potential 25 damage per hit isn't something to sneeze at this early in the game.
*His fire vulnerability and awful [[EV]] makes him fall quickly to a [[wand of flame]] or pretty much any [[Fire Magic]]. [[Dispel Undead]] or weapons of [[holy wrath]] also work well.
*So long as you have a reliable means of killing him, meeting Menkaure can be a good time to use a [[potion of lignification]], as being a tree gives you considerable AC and GDR as well as complete immunity to torment. Of course, you won't be able to flee from any other threats that may wander by.

==Trivia==
Menkaure was an [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Menkaure early Egyptian pharaoh]. The grandson of [[Khufu]], he also has a pyramid at Giza.

==History==
Prior to version [[0.17]], Menkaure had a [[death curse]] that would curse a single piece of equipment, much like a regular mummy.
