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.
• Mummies are slow enough that you can walk them upstairs and outrun them, leaving them on a cleared level.

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.
