Comments

The mummy is a somewhat solid walker in the Necropolis domain. As the Necropolis have a lot of fliers in their army (4 of the 8 town creatures can fly, and another can teleport), the mummy will only slow down most armies late-game, where movement could be vital.

Early-game, though, it's a sturdy-enough creature that can protect your weaker units, and the Curse ability can seriously hinder enemy attacks. Try to attack every enemy at least once, to spread the curse.

Abilities

	Undead
	Undead creatures are not affected by morale, or by spells and abilities that only work on living creatures. Some spells and artifacts (such as Holy Water) have special effects on Undead creatures. Undead creatures, however, give an additional -2 morale penalty to all non-Death creatures.
	Curse
	Curse causes this creature's normal attack to also act as the Death Magic spell Curse.
