A fair and noble ruler of an ancient and mighty kingdom, mummified after an early death. His faithful priests subsequently infused him with great and powerful magic, seeking to grant him eternal life. Now he is forgotten and reduced to mouldering bandages and dry, brittle bones.
“Ye men of Egypt, ye have heard your king! |
Useful Info
Menkaure, Prince of Dust is a unique 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.
