| Reference | SLASH'EM_0.0.7E7F2/monst.c#line2825 |
A troll mummy, M, is a type of monster that appears in SLASH'EM, SlashTHEM and Hack'EM. It is a mummified undead troll that is capable of resurrecting from its corpse after being killed much like normal trolls, but it lacks the infravision that other mummies possess.
In SLASH'EM and SlashTHEM, the troll mummy possesses the giant monster attribute, and possesses somewhat similar stats and qualities to the giant mummy. In Hack'EM, it instead has the troll monster attribute.
A troll mummy has two claw attacks.
Generation
Randomly generated troll mummies are always hostile.
Troll mummies have a 6⁄7 chance of being generated with a mummy wrapping.[1]
A troll mummy leaves an aged troll corpse behind upon death.[2][3]
Strategy
While not as damaging a threat as a normal troll, troll mummies can be quite annoying due to their higher 14 speed and ability to resurrect. The corpse a troll mummy leaves behind will generate too old for pets other than a ghoul or ghast to eat, and its huge size also prevents it from being swallowed whole by a digestion attack.
In turn, disposing of the corpse by eating it yourself becomes much less difficult if you have a means of curing sickness: a tainted corpse will instantly disappear upon eating. If using a unicorn horn, be sure to have it enchanted - while even a +0 unicorn horn is likely to cure the food poisoning in time, keeping your unicorn horn reliable significantly minimizes risk. As with other trolls you can also apply a tinning kit to the corpse, lock it in a nearby container, or else dispose of it through various other means (including dipping it into a forge in Hack'EM).
Encyclopedia entry
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.
