Mummy (Muh-Mee)

Mummies, the reanimated remnants of mummified human corpses, carved an unusual niche within the Crean Isles, primarily dwelling on Litchmeuse and Caena. These enigmatic undead beings, preserved through various materials and rituals, found themselves isolated due to their association with the macabre undead. Despite their aversion to Nentryl's world domination pursuit, their status as outcasts left them without a home among cultures averse to their kind. However, Reaver, emerging as a sanctuary for those seeking redemption from Nentryl's grasp, extended a compassionate hand to the mummies. Accepting them into the nation, Reaver integrated the mummies as an integral part of its populace, providing them with mini pyramids as abodes. In return, the mummies contributed invaluable ancient knowledge on artifacts, solidifying their place in Reaver's society as custodians of wisdom and history. This harmonious integration marked a turning point for the mummies, where acceptance and contribution replaced their former isolation and societal rejection.

Basic Information

Anatomy

Mummies, reanimated from mummified human corpses, retain their skeletal structure covered in desiccated, preserved tissue. Their bodies are wrapped in various materials during the mummification process, maintaining a semblance of their former appearance. The preservation techniques imbue them with a durable constitution, allowing prolonged existence even after reanimation.

Growth Rate & Stages

Mummies undergo minimal physical changes post-reanimation, retaining their appearance throughout their existence. However, their knowledge and wisdom grow over time, evolving as they accumulate experiences. There are no distinct life stages or transformations; they maintain a perpetual state, unaltered by conventional growth.

Ecology and Habitats

Optimal habitats for mummies include crypts, catacombs, and underground chambers—dark, dry environments conducive to their preservation. They interact minimally with their habitat, preferring solitude and undisturbed settings. They're caretakers of historical remnants, fostering an affinity for ancient artifacts and knowledge within their living spaces.

Dietary Needs and Habits

Devoid of conventional biological functions, mummies don't require sustenance for survival. Their preserved state eliminates the need for food consumption, hunting, or foraging. Instead, they safeguard and protect ancient knowledge and artifacts within their dwellings.

Biological Cycle

Mummies, resistant to biological decay due to mummification, experience minimal biological changes with time or seasonal shifts. They don't undergo hibernation or significant alterations in response to environmental cues, maintaining a static existence unaffected by seasonal changes.

Behaviour

Mummies exhibit a reserved and solitary demeanor, interacting minimally with their kind and surroundings. They hold a profound reverence for ancient lore and artifacts, displaying a protective stance towards historical remnants. Predators generally avoid them due to their lack of organic life, while predated species show no interest in them as a food source.
