Corpse, Decayed, Embalmbed, Preserved Dead, Cadaver
The inhabitants of Aranoch have long practiced the art of preserving the
dead. As a reverence to the deceased, priests fill bodies with preservative
fluids, then wrap them in specially-treated cloth, and bury them in tombs below
the desert's surface. This mummification is believed to provide benefits for the
deceased in the afterlife. Physically, a mummified body maintains its flesh and
sinew for hundreds, even thousands of years.
Under Mephisto's manipulation, these honored dead have been summoned and
bound with the spirits of malicious demons to fill the ranks of his undead army.
Instilled with eternal loathing for the living, Mummies are stronger and better
suited for combat than the zombies, who due to their advanced decay, are weak
and infirm. Mummies are slow-moving, but can deliver powerful blows, often with
the touch of poison from the chemicals used in their embalming. Fallen mummies
often burst asunder from their wrappings, leaving behind a poisonous cloud that
the living should best avoid.
Tips and Other Additional Information
When killed, Mummies emit a
poison cloud that can affect both you and your minions. If you are particularly
weak against poison, you may want to consider carrying Antidotes with you when
engaging Mummies. |
