Mummification is the process of preserving a dead body. Ancient Egypt is famous for their mummies but there are mummies all over the world. Technically a mummy that has been brought back to life is a zombie although it might not be what you first think of when you hear the word zombie. A mummy that has not been brought back to life is just a preserved dead body. Usually a mummy is brought to life through magic  which makes it a little different than the normal graveyard zombie. A mummy may even lose it’s head and not die.

 The good news is that since they are so old and dried out a mummy is very brittle. The best way to defeat one is to smash it to bits. Another option is to use fire. Mummies are very afraid of fire and will back away if you have a torch. If you use the torch on them they will burn rather quickly. The other option is to reverse the magical spell which can be rather complicated. In the case of an Ancient Egyptian mummy, the magic spell usually will consist of a curse that a person has received for disturbing the pharoahs tomb. The mummy will be trying to protect the tomb and get revenge in the name of the pharoah. While there may be a way to reverse the spell it will probably involve being able to read heiroglyphs.

I give the mummy zombie 3 brains for the danger rating. They are dangerous and strong but there are some simple ways in which to kill them and on top of that they are pretty slow moving which makes it easy to run from them.

Danger Rating = 3 Brains (pretty scary!)
