I just got killed by a bones file mummy. Are they tougher than a randomly generated mummy in any way? Interestingly, bones are not mentioned at all here.


Can mummies wield weapons and utilise items? They never seem to; though as humanoids you think that they would.

inconsistency

    • body text: elf mummies leave a corpse that can be tinned and eaten
    • boxed text: never leaves a corpse
  • which is it? in my experience (which is deeply flawed) every kind of mummy leaves a corpse... --Newskinsucks 11:29, October 28, 2010 (UTC)
Some monsters marked as "never leaves a corpse" in monst.c get a replacement corpse in the corpse-leaving code. Technically, there is no elf mummy corpse, only an elf corpse. This is confusing for wiki readers and the infobox should be changed. Tjr 13:20, October 28, 2010 (UTC)
