* ''TabletopGame/{{Toon}}'': Mummies are amongst the Un-Fallen-Down in ''Dungeons & Toons''. The accepted way of dealing with them is to grab a bandage and pull, which may reveal an elderly Egyptian man in GoofyPrintUnderwear, who will be too embarassed to attack, or that there's nothing under the bandages at all, or whatever else strikes the Animator as funny.

More recent examples (mostly [[FollowingTheLeader inspired]] by the [[Film/TheMummyTrilogy 1999 film and its sequels]], though it's also a throwback to the original ''Film/TheMummy1932'') may make the Mummy closer to a [[OurLichesAreDifferent lich]] or [[OurVampiresAreDifferent vampire]], giving it more individuality and brain, as well ample magical powers (such as the ability to command "lesser" mummies and local Egyptian wildlife like scarab beetles).

added linking for lot no 249


* Sir Creator/ArthurConanDoyle's ''Lot No. 249'' tells the tale of ultimate nerd revenge in the form of an auction-bought mummy and an occultist student. It ends quite not so badly as the setup might lead to expect. As mentioned above, it was adapted into a segment of the anthology ''Film/TalesFromTheDarksideTheMovie'', with a young Creator/SteveBuscemi as the vengeful student.

Also no.


Also note that mummification rituals were not unique to Egypt. Thus, mummies may occasionally crop up from different necks of the woods, with {{Mayincatec}} mummies as probably the closest runner-up to the Egyptian variant in terms of popularity.

* ''TabletopGame/FabulaUltima'': Mummies are one of the most powerful Undead creatures in the core rulebook. They are mindless creatures driven only to carry out whatever commands their masters gave them. They are immune to most status effects, their touch can make a character vulnerable to all damage types, and when they die, they unleash a curse which inflicts status effects to all living creatures in the vicinity.

* The ''Franchise/{{Castlevania}}'' series has numerous mummies as enemies, both as normal mooks and as powerful bosses, capable of attacking with flying wrappings or even summoning stones to crush the player with. Sometimes the mummy is given the name of Akmodan. There's no explanation given for what Egyptian style mummies are doing in a Romanian castle, aside from RuleOfCool.
