Special Traits

  • Swarm. The swarm can occupy another creature’s space, and vice versa, and the swarm can move through any opening large enough for a Tiny snake. The swarm can’t regain hit points or gain temporary hit points.

Actions

  • Bites. Melee Weapon Attack: +5 to hit, reach 0 ft., one target in the swarm’s space. Hit: 7 (2d6) piercing damage, plus 7 (2d6) necrotic damage, or 3 (1d6) piercing damage plus 3 (1d6) necrotic damage, if the swarm has half of its hit points or fewer. If the target is a creature, it must succeed on a DC 12 Constitution saving throw (or 8, if the swarm has half of its hit points or fewer), or be cursed with mummy rot.

A false mummy can be any humanoid mummy of challenge rating 5 or lower. The statistics of a false mummy are unchanged, except that the mummy does not speak any languages and can’t cast spells. Additionally, if the mummy is reduced to 0 hit points, a swarm of cursed snakes exits the body into the mummy’s space or a space within 5 feet of the mummy. The swarm acts on the mummy’s initiative.
