An undead figure preserved by the brackish waters of a bog. Though it has been reanimated by some unknown magic, this magic is not enough to prevent its decaying. It radiates a malignant curse upon all who offend it.

Useful Info

Bog mummies are amphibious undead with a cold touch-based attack that can deal an additional 6-17 cold damage and a few spells. Every now and then they'll rot away a few max HP in spite of their rot resistance, though this rarely affects the outcome of a battle. They can swim, but slowly. Bog mummies have the same death curse as regular mummies, and are found in the Swamp and the submerged Ossuary.

Spells: Throw Frost (3d6), Slow, and Corpse Rot.

Tips & Tricks

• Although unlikely to actually kill you, bog mummies are annoying to deal with; they'll destroy your potions with cold attacks and killing them curses your items. With conservation and enough summoned or undead minions, you can deal with them without much fuss. Otherwise, it may be best to simply take advantage of their slow speed and run past them to save your scrolls of remove curse.
• Be careful when killing any corpse-producing monsters with a bog mummy in sight; their Corpse Rot spell can seriously harm you if you're standing over a corpse at the time.
