The save DC is Charisma-based. Mummy Rot (Su) Curse and disease—slam; save Fort DC 20; onset 1 minute; frequency 1/day; effect 1d6 Con and 1d6 Cha; cure —. Mummy rot is both a curse and disease and can only be cured if the curse is first removed, at which point the disease can be magically removed. Even after the curse element of mummy rot is lifted, a creature suffering from it cannot recover naturally over time. Anyone casting a conjuration (healing) spell on the afflicted creature must succeed on a DC 20 caster level check, or the spell is wasted and the healing has no effect. Anyone who dies from mummy rot turns to dust and cannot be raised without a resurrectionspell or greater magic. The save DC is Charisma-based. Natural Cunning (Ex) Minotaur mummies possess innate cunning and logical ability. This gives them immunity to maze spells and prevents them from ever becoming lost. Further, they are never caught flat-footed.

Like normal mummies, minotaur mummies are created by powerful spellcasters to serve as tomb guardians. In addition to it impressive physical combat abilities and insidious curse of mummy rot, a minotaur mummy can banish an opponent into an extradimensional maze. It frequently uses this ability to divide and conquer, opening a combat by sending away one or more members of a party, leaving the rest to fight the minotaur mummy on their own.

An 18th-level caster with the ability to cast maze can create a minotaur mummy using the create greater undead spell. Preparing the corpse that will become the minotaur mummy involves the same embalming process used to prepare an ordinary mummy.

Guardian Mummy (CR +1) A guardian mummy has the advanced simple template and the ability to use guards and wards (CL 12th) as a spell-like ability once per day.
