Mummies

The Mummy is a hardmode desert enemy. In appearance, it is a figure wrapped in gray cloth. It appears to follow the Fighter AI. Regular mummies spawn even during the day. All three types of mummies can spawn underground if there are enough sand blocks.

Dark Mummies are 150% faster than other Mummies. All mummies receive a 200% speed increase when they are reduced to 50% health or lower. Regular Mummies inflict Slow, Dark Mummies inflict Silenced and Darkness, and Light Mummies inflict Confused.

Dark and light mummies can easily be farmed for their shards by corrupting or hallowing a section of desert, or making an artificial desert. All that is necessary is a one-wide flat surface of pearlsand/ebonsand. However, don't have both surfaces too close from each other - as one cancels out the other.
