A priest mummy:
| |
A priest mummy, M, is a type of monster that appears in dNetHack, notdNetHack and notnotdNetHack. The priest mummy is a strong type of human mummy that has infravision and enhanced regeneration, and will seek out magical items to pick up.
A priest mummy has a strong weapon attack and the ability to cast one clerical monster spell during each of its turns, and also has a passive attack that inflicts mummy curses on death: a hero subjected to their dying curse can have their luck set to -10, have their items cursed, suffer from sickness, have their current HP halved and end up 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 warded by the Elder Elemental Eye at 4-fold or greater reinforcement.
Generation
Randomly-generated priest mummies are always created hostile.
Priest mummies are always generated with a prayer-warded wrapping and a white waistcloth, and they are given an additional cloak item made of leather that has a 1⁄20 chance of being a Leo Nemaeus hide and will otherwise be a plain cloak.
A priest mummy does not leave a corpse upon death.
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.
