Mummies

Mummies are Hardmode Desert enemies. They spawn in areas where Sand Blocks are present, and follow the Fighter AI (behaving similar to Zombies).

There are several different variants of Mummies: Dark Mummies, , and Light Mummies.
 * On, Dark Mummies spawn in Corrupted Deserts, and Blood Mummies spawn in Crimson Deserts.
 * On, Dark Mummies spawn in both the Corrupted and Crimson Deserts.
 * On all versions, Light Mummies spawn in Hallowed Deserts.
 * On, the exclusive Shadow Mummies and Spectral Mummies spawn in Corrupted Deserts and Hallowed Deserts, respectively.

Dark Mummies are 150% faster than other Mummies. All mummies receive a 200% speed increase when they are reduced to 50% health or lower. In addition, mummies inflict the following debuffs:
 * Regular Mummies: Slow
 * Dark Mummies/Blood Mummies/Shadow Mummies: Silenced, Darkness
 * Light Mummies/Spectral Mummies: Confused

Tips

 * Dark, Blood, 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, or Crimsand. However, do not have both surfaces too close to each other, as one cancels out the other.

Trivia

 * The head of the -exclusive Shadow Mummy looks like a Skeleton's Skull.
 * The mummies in Terraria are bound incorrectly: In, the feet of the mummies were bound together and their hands were bound on their sides. However, in Terraria (and almost every other fictional work), the hands and feet of the mummies are unbound so that they can move freely.
