A player being approached by two Dark Mummies.

Mummies are Hardmode Desert enemies. They spawn in areas where Sand blocks are present, and follow the Fighter AI (behaving similar to Zombies). Ordinary Mummies spawn even during the day at the surface.

Dark Mummies are 150% faster than other Mummies. All mummies receive a 200% speed increase when they are reduced to 50% health or lower, making them hard to defeat for less prepared players.

Mummies inflict the following debuffs:

Regular Mummies: Slow
Dark Mummies/Shadow Mummies: Silenced, Darkness
Light Mummies/Spectral Mummies: Confused

Notes[edit | edit source]

In Crimson worlds, the only way to obtain a Blindfold is from Dark Mummies.
Dark Mummy can drop the Megaphone and Blindfold at the same time. When one of them dropped (1/200 chance), there is 1/100 chance to drop another too. So there is 1/20000 chance to drop both.

Tips[edit | edit source]

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 or crimsand. However, do not have both surfaces too close to each other, as one cancels out the other.

Trivia[edit | edit source]

The head of Shadow Mummy looks like Skeleton's Skull.
The mummies in Terraria are bound incorrectly. Actually, in ancient Egypt, 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 bound so that they could move them freely.
