Mummies are capable of raising the remains of others, much like [[necromancer]]s, and calling these minions against their foes. Therefore, it is strongly recommended that any skeletons or bodies near the room containing the mummy are cleared out to the best possible extent prior to an encounter. Mummies can only be killed by decapitation or bisection. Because rulers lose their title upon death, the mummies will be identified by their other profession (such as a beekeeper mummy) or they can get the position of a bandit leader, if the bandits claim a tomb as their settlement before disturbing the mummy. | Mummies are capable of raising the remains of others, much like [[necromancer]]s, and calling these minions against their foes.

If you do manage to get a mummy companion, use caution when passing through towns or forts - the mummy will begin to curse everyone in sight, and even attack if it has weapons. Despite what you may think, grabbing what you want and leaving before they can get to you is not a good idea, as they will follow you throughout the world. |
Occasionally in world gen, mummies will be disturbed by AI adventurers and eventually create their own necromancer-style towers.[http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=175437.msg8084068#msg8084068] | Occasionally in world gen, mummies will be disturbed by AI adventurers and eventually create their own necromancer-style towers.[http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=175437.msg8084068#msg8084068] | ||
