Actions

• Multiattack. The priest can use its Dreadful Glare. It then makes an attack with its Cursed Touch or casts a spell with a casting time of an action.
• Cursed Touch. Melee Weapon Attack: +4 to hit, reach 5 ft., one creature. Hit: 14 (4d6) necrotic damage. If the target is a creature, it must succeed on a DC 14 Constitution saving throw, or be cursed with mummy rot (p.86).
• Dreadful Glare. The priest targets one creature it can see within 60 feet of it. If the target can see the priest, it must succeed on a DC 12 Wisdom saving throw against this magic, or become frightened until the end of the priest’s next turn. If the target fails the saving throw by 5 or more, it is also paralyzed for the same duration. A target that succeeds on the saving throw is immune to the Dreadful Glare of all mummies with a challenge rating of 5 or less for the next 24 hours.
