=Mummy=

The mumiyyah or "mummy" as it is now colloquially known, resembles its simpler cousin the zombie. Much maligned for its fragile appearance and lack of obvious strengths, the mummy seems a frail opponent at first- take caution, like all creatures in this bestiary the mummy is NOT to be trifled with.

The mummy is second only to the Scottish "fetch" in cunning and vulpine calculation. Its body, while ancient, is stiffened by the bitumen necessary for its mummification and possesses incredible endurance. It is unlikely the mummy will present itself to you while you're near a firearm (they are known for their preparation before attacking and killing those who carry the Mummy's curse), but a careful blow to the skull may shatter the bones of the monster and kill it. Nevertheless close combat is not advised. A mummy's grip is fatal, and they are known for their ability to seize and choke a throat till their victim expires.

It should be noted that fire or extreme cold can incapacitate the mummy. It should be further noted that freezing the creature will only delay its attack. To dispose of the creature, prepare a cauldron of lime or hydrochloric acid to disintegrate its limbs and appendages.

Do not, under any circumstances, agree to a game of Senet - and under no circumstances should you pause, even if he speaks in the voice of your mother, your lover, your child.
