Mummy

Mummies are Undead found in the Pyramid Plunder mini-game, during quests such as Desert Treasure and Dealing with Scabaras, and in the Chaos Tunnels.

Mummies are well known for dropping Ancient Staves, although this is a quite rare drop. If you've purchased an Ancient staff from Eblis and lost it, and don't want to buy one from another player, this is your only choice.

Strengths and weaknesses
The level 84 mummies are rather weak for their level, hitting a maximum of 60 life points. On the other hand, the level 103 and 125 mummies are far stronger, with a max hit of 240, and can hit consistently even through strong armour (Rune armour and Dragon armour). For this reason, players should consider using the Protect from Melee prayer when meleeing them. This is especially recommended when fighting mummies in desert areas such as Ullek, where many players wear low-defence Desert camouflage gear or Desert robes to reduce water consumption and avoid the effects of desert heat.

Mummies have a high melee Defence, which suggests that players use Super set potions. Despite this high melee defence, slashing attacks appear to be quite effective at cutting through their bandages, so an Abyssal whip would be a good choice for melee.

Mummies are Undead, which means that wearing a Salve amulet (e) provides a significant combat boost. Despite being undead, the Magic spell Crumble Undead does not affect mummies, contrary to the beliefs and wishes of some players. Mummies are weak to fire magic spells. When hit by a fire spell, the mummy catches on fire, although this effect does not cause any more damage than the spell itself. (The Mummy Champion actually rises in level when catching on fire.)

Ice Spells and Chinchompas


There is an area in the Chaos Tunnels with 12 aggressive mummies, making it a great place to train using Red chinchompas, normal Chinchompas or Ancient Magicks, particularly ice spells like Ice Burst and Ice Barrage. Although these methods of training can be expensive, the Ancient staff and rune items the mummies drop help cover a small part of the expense. They Frequently drop Emerald items, if which are picked up, can cover most or all of the expenses.

Players may reach up to approximately 230,000 experience per hour using Red chinchompas at level 99; the second fastest Ranged experience in the game, right after skeleton monkeys on Ape Atoll if done the method of gathering up the mummies and attacking them, although there is a newly discovered method giving an average of 550+exp per Red chinchompa at level 85+ range. This can be done by gathering all 12 mummies so that they are aggressive to you and not stuck behind an obstacle, then, walking back and forth in a line, one square to the left and right repeatedly. This would cause the mummies to 'pile' on each other so they all are standing on the same spot. This method allows you to attack all 12 mummies at the same time, giving the currently best experience in the game.

Trivia

 * The level 96 mummies that come out of the sarcophagi in the Jaldraocht Pyramid have 10 life points, a maximum hit of 170, and can only be killed by fire spells. What's more interesting is that they have the same drops as the level 103 mummies. There are also two or three places in the pyramid where no level 103 mummies will attack the player.
 * While on fire, mummies' examine text changes. This only happens if the player continues to use fire spells. Otherwise, it will change back.
 * RuneScape often uses puns when using the name 'mummy' as this is a term used in the UK similar to America's 'mommy'. This leads some players to believe that all mummies are female, but both male and female mummies exist.
