A chiropteran mummy has four strong claw attacks, as well as a passive attack that inflicts mummy curses on their killer upon death. Chiropteran mummies possess cold resistance, sleep resistance, poison resistance, drain resistance, and death resistance like other mummies.

A chiropteran mummy corpse is poisonous to eat unless it is consumed with the spirit Ahazu bound.

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.
