A '''priest mummy''', {{yellow|M}}, is a type of [[monster]] that appears in [[dNetHack]], [[notdNetHack]] and [[notnotdNetHack]]. The priest mummy is a strong type of [[Human (monster attribute)|human]] [[mummy]] that has [[infravision]] and [[Regeneration (property)|enhanced regeneration]], and will seek out [[magical item]]s to pick up.

A priest mummy has a strong [[weapon]] attack and the ability to cast one [[dNetHack monster spells|clerical monster spell]] during each of its turns, and also has a [[passive attack]] that inflicts [[mummy curse]]s on death: a [[hero]] subjected to their dying curse can have their [[luck]] set to -10, [[Curse items|have their items cursed]], suffer from [[sickness]], have their current HP halved and end up [[Screaming (dNetHack)|screaming]] for 2 (more) turns, or cause [[mummy rot]] that abuses the hero's [[charisma]] and [[constitution]] constantly (or else drains constitution or charisma if the hero ''already'' has mummy rot). Priest mummies have basic prowess in martial combat, and they possess [[cold resistance]], [[sleep resistance]], [[poison resistance]], [[drain resistance]], and [[death resistance]], along with resistance to damage from blunt and piercing weapons.

A priest mummy is [[poisonous]] to consume, which primarily comes up if it is [[digested]] by another monster or else subjected to [[Ahazu]] (which circumvents hazardous effects from consuming a monster or their corpse).

Priest mummies can be [[Ward (dNetHack)|warded]] by the [[User:Chris/dNetHack/Elder Elemental Eye|Elder Elemental Eye]] at 4-fold or greater reinforcement.

==Encyclopedia entry==
{{encyclopedia|
But for an account of the manner in which the body was
bandaged, and a list of the unguents and other materials
employed in the process, and the words of power which were
spoken as each bandage was laid in its place, we must have
recourse to a very interesting papyrus which has been edited
and translated by M. Maspero under the title of Le Rituel de
l'Embaumement. ...
Everything that could be done to preserve the body was now
done, and every member of it was, by means of the words of
power which changed perishable substances into imperishable,
protected to all eternity; when the final covering of purple
or white linen had been fastened upon it, the body was ready
for the tomb.
