A Mummy in Dungeons & Dragons is a powerful undead creature that results from the preservation of a once-living being, typically a high-ranking individual like a priest, king, or noble. Mummies are created through dark magic and rituals that prevent the body from decaying, preserving its form in a state of eternal animation. This process often involves mummification, which, combined with the curses and foul magic used to animate the corpse, results in a malevolent being with a powerful connection to death and the afterlife.

Mummies are usually found in ancient tombs, crypts, or sacred burial sites, often guarding the secrets of their past life or protecting treasures. In D&D, they retain some of the knowledge and skills they had during their mortal life, though they are driven by a need to fulfill their curse, which often involves defending their resting place from intruders. Mummies are notable for their terrifying appearance, with their bandaged bodies and hollow, soulless eyes.

A Mummy is not just a physical threat but also a magical one. They are immune to many forms of attack, including disease, poison, and necrotic damage, while being highly resistant to non-magical weapons. Mummies can also cast powerful curses on their foes, weakening or disabling them. One of their most fearsome abilities is their "Mummy Rot," a debilitating curse that causes necrotic damage over time, eventually killing those who fail to recover.

Fighting a Mummy in D&D is a dangerous proposition, as it requires dealing with both its physical resilience and its magical abilities. Mummies can be especially dangerous for adventurers who lack the tools or knowledge to counter their unique powers.
