Description

More powerful than a typical mummy, greater mummies are similar to liches, as they are both powerful undead spellcasters. In appearance, greater mummies are typically indistinguishable from typical mummies except for their priestly garb which is often rich, though decayed, and usually including their divine patron's unholy symbol.
