Many ancient cultures mummify their dead, preserving the bodies of the deceased through lengthy and complex funerary and embalming processes. While the vast majority of these corpses are mummified simply to preserve the bodies in the tombs where they are interred, some are mummified with the help of magic to live on after death as mummified creatures. A mummified creature appears much as other mummies doâa dusty corpse, desiccated and withered, swathed in a funeral shroud of linen wrappings adorned with hieroglyphsâbut a spark of malign intelligence gleams in its unliving eyes.
