In Dungeons & Dragons (D&D), a Mummy is an undead creature typically encountered in tombs, ruins, and other ancient locations. Originating from cursed or preserved corpses, mummies are reanimated through dark magic or divine curses. They serve as guardians, protectors, or remnants of past civilizations.

Physically, mummies resemble desiccated corpses wrapped in bandages, often adorned with ancient jewelry or symbols. Despite their decrepit appearance, they possess surprising strength and resilience, augmented by their supernatural nature. Mummies emit an aura of dread and decay, instilling fear in those who encounter them.

In combat, mummies rely on their formidable physical prowess and innate magical abilities. They can unleash curses and inflict diseases upon their foes, weakening them over time. Additionally, their mere touch can transmit a debilitating curse known as mummy rot, which gradually consumes its victim until cured by powerful magic or divine intervention.

Mummies are typically depicted as guardians of sacred sites or treasures, bound by ancient oaths or cursed duty to protect their resting places. They often possess knowledge of the cultures and civilizations from which they originated, making them valuable sources of information for adventurers seeking to unravel the mysteries of the past.

To defeat a mummy, adventurers must overcome its curses and resistances, often requiring magic or divine intervention to overcome their formidable defenses. Destroying a mummy usually involves reducing it to ashes or dismembering its body beyond the point of reanimation.

Encounters with mummies in D&D campaigns can provide opportunities for exploration, uncovering ancient secrets, and facing the consequences of meddling with powerful necromantic forces. Whether as guardians of forgotten tombs or pawns in the schemes of dark wizards, mummies add an element of mystery and danger to any adventure.
