“	And from the ancient times, the 4 pillars that guard the castle-----Medusa, Frankenstein, Mummy and Giant Bat	„
	~ Excerpt from Akumajo Dracula: Kabuchi no Tsuisoukyoku explaining the four pillars that guard Dracula's Castle

Background

The Mummy (or Mummy Man) is a recurring enemy in the Castlevania series. Once a member of a royal family, he underwent mummification in his pursuit of eternal life.

Mummies, sometimes referred to as Mummy Men, are reanimated corpses preserved through the process of mummification. Often linked to Egyptian folklore, they made their debut as bosses in the original Castlevania. Since then, they have become recurring foes in the series, appearing both as minor enemies and formidable bosses.

A notable named mummy, Akmodan II, serves as a boss in both Super Castlevania IV and Symphony of the Night.

Powers and Techniques

Creature of the Night AbilitiesInnate Abilities

Is a Creature of the Night, which gives:

Superhuman Physical Characteristics (Even the smallest creatures of the night can destroy a bridge, one of Dracula's bats easily destroyed a stone ground block), Intimidation (Creatures of the nights appearances can cause one to have their body's cells cry out in terror), Immortality (Ageless; The biggest hindrance to humans when attempting to accomplish something is their limited lifespans, a limitation that cannot be overcome, however, dwellers of the darkness do not apply to the laws of the human world, ignoring such limitations. Immortal Metaphysical Aspect; Creatures of the Night can continue to exist even as a spirit and use their spirit form to form bodies out of inanimate material around them), Acausality (Causality Immunity; All immortal beings disrupt the flow of time according to Aeon, along with ignoring the very passage of time. With their souls being completely free from time. The biggest hindrance to humans when attempting to accomplish something is their limited lifespans, a limitation that cannot be overcome, however, dwellers of the darkness do not apply to the laws of the human world, ignoring such limitations), Free Will (Creatures of the Night do not follow the hand of God and instead choose of their own free will), Empowerment (Creatures of the night are empowered by the night, becoming stronger when it's night time), Evolution (Creatures of chaos can inherit evil natures awakening into stronger enemies with new abilities and less weaknesses), Resurrection (Self-Resurrection; Creatures of chaos can be brought back to life from the power of hate. This has also been shown with slain heads reviving as an angry wraith), Regeneration (Mid-Godly overtime; Even the castle from Castlevania is a Creature of Chaos, where they are always rebirth from Chaos with each rebirth, the creatures takes a new form, with this state being referred to as a "regeneration cycle"), Invisibility (Creatures of Chaos possess a natural aura of darkness, which makes one unable to see those with an aura of darkness by the naked eye), Time Manipulation (1-T, Passive; All immortal beings disrupt the flow of time according to Aeon), Darkness Manipulation & Subjective Reality (Creatures of chaos very existence causes dark powers to flow beyond the control of the Elgos' grimoires, due to them collecting documented information on Dracula and his castle. Causing their power to materialize in the real world in the form of monsters. With the real world and world of grimoires being considered the same or "equal", compared to the like of Brauner's painting worlds that are quantum multi-layered spaces requiring understandings of theories such as "Curse Amplification"), Text Manipulation & Plot Manipulation (Passive; Creatures of the night's dark powers allowed them to rewrite the Grimoires to strengthen their dark powers greatly. It is noted by Lucy that the "vital soul" of a monster is the cause of the grimoire chaos. Their vital souls are causing the grimoires contents to be overwritten changing history to things such as Jonathan Morris is now at a disadvantage in battle, or Charlotte fading from existence due to them messing with the history of the Grimoires, Maria starting to fade because Richter's history is being rewritten, where if the contents of the book change the creatures magic will keep growing and eventually overflow into reality, causing the grimoire to fall into chaos and even more monsters materializing into the real world. The text alterations also make the monsters stronger. With the real world and world of grimoires being considered the same or "equal", compared to the like of Brauner's painting worlds that are quantum multi-layered spaces requiring understandings of theories such as "Curse Amplification"), Law Manipulation (Creatures of Chaos can alter grimoires, which do not adhere to the laws of reality), Power Modification (Creatures of the night alterations of the Grimoire can greatly limit the powers of those far stronger than them, such as Jonathan Morris' power being limited due to the alterations. The Chaos of the Grimoire destabilized the magic of the others).

Resistance to Ice Manipulation & Absolute Zero (All enemies in Castlevania III: Dracula's curse can eventually break out of being frozen from Sypha's ice magic. Along with this to protect against ice attacks in series, one normally wears rings that help them resist against absolute zero), Time Manipulation (1-T; All immortal beings disrupt the flow of time according to Aeon, with their souls being completely free from time. With time in Castlevania being so potent that not even eternity can withstand time, along with even artificial life being subject to the laws of time. Some creatures of chaos are immune to time stop, normally being boss-level creatures), Fate Manipulation (Temporal Fate; All immortal beings disrupt the flow of time according to Aeon, with their souls being completely free from time, with fate being a truth wound by time)

Body Control (Formed itself from a series of bandages and can move around through detaching and reattaching its bandages into a different location. Can extend out his arms), Curtain Fire (Multi-Directioanl; Can shoot out multiple of his bandages at once) & Paper Manipulation (Can throw its bandages as an attack), Curtain Fire (Rapid Fire) & Fire Manipulation (Can shoot out a rapid fire of fireballs), Earth Manipulation (Can control stone to launch at the opponent and crush them with), Fragrance Manipulation & Poison Manipulation (Can shoot out a cloud of its decaying fragrance, that can induce poison if hit by it), Spike Manipulation (Can cause spikes to protrude out of the stones it controls), Heat Manipulation (Can heat up the stones he proceeds to throw at at the opponent, making them burst into flames upon impact)

Other

Standard Tactics

• Castlevania III: Dracula's Curse
  • They come from both sides of the room and pace back and forth, throwing bandages in low wave patterns.
• Castlevania NES:
  • They come from both sides of the room and pace back and forth, throwing bandages in low wave patterns.
• Super Castlevania IV
  • It teleports around the room with its bandages and either throws bandages at the opponent or shoots out a multitude of fireballs.
• Castlevania: Rondo of Blood:
  • He summons large stone blocks, attempting to crush the player.
  • He sends a barrage of flying wrappings through the room.
  • He can extend his wrappings to hit the player.
• Castlevania: Symphony of the Night
  • He extends his wrappings to hit the player.
  • He shoots out a decaying fragrance that poisons the player if they're hit.
• Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin
  • He retains his ability to control stone blocks, but now uses them to trap the player against the wall, summoning spikes to skewer them.
  • He can summon groups of five stone blocks from the background and fling them at the player.
  • These blocks can form either a horizontal formation near the top of the screen or a circle around the player, and then launch toward the player in a set pattern.
  • The blocks in the horizontal formation hurl from left to right, while the ones in the circular formation follow a clockwise pattern starting from the topmost block.
  • As blocks are removed from the background, a three-faced Egyptian mortuary mask image is revealed, though a new set of blocks will drop and block the view before it’s fully visible.

Weaknesses:

• Creature of the Night Weaknesses: Creatures of the night become weaker when exposed to the morning sun. Garlic significantly weakens creatures of the night, and causes demons to die if its placed on the ground. If a vital soul is defeated, the grimoire will revert back to its original content.
• Unique Weaknesses: They share a single life meter and will both die once half of it is depleted.

Note

• Contrary to popular belief, holy attacks and the whips in Castlevania can affect and harm people that aren't apart of the creatures of the night. Leon's doppelganger can use holy water and holy attacks against him in this fight along with the alchemy whip despite Leon being a pure and noble warrior. Simon's doppelganger can harm him with the vampire killer, despite Simon being a noble hero. Holy Water even works and harms enemies such as the "Holy Armor", a knight who has natural holy powers. Corrupted enemies such as Charlie Vincent, use holy water attacks on Carrie and Reinhardt. Characters like Jonathan Morris wear armor like the Holy Mail, an armor that reduces damage from holy attacks.

Trivia

• It's unknown who Akmodan II really was. In the Master Librarian's Enemy List from Symphony of the night, he is referred to as an "ancient Egyptian mummy". However, "Akmodan" is not a real Egyptian name, but was made up to sound like one.
  • The "II" in his name is speculated to be a nobility title, possibly being the son and successor to the first Akmodan.
  • Nevertheless, this name is likely just an original liberty taken by the localization team, as in the Japanese versions of the game, he's simply called "Mummy Man".

Codex Statistics Questions

Q: Shouldn't the characters be around tier 2 for defeating the Time Reaper who would've destroyed the very fabric of time, attempted to destroy the specific era of time, cause all beings everywhere to disappear, forever and that the age was on the verge of collapse?

A: We actually never get a direct outright method of Time Reaper's plan for doing this, from what Aeon mentions to Golem, if the Time Rift is not erased, all beings everywhere will disappear, forever, implying that it's the Time Rift causing this, this is further backed up by the fact that in Time Reaper's boss fight, there is a vortex in the background consuming everything, meaning this is an overtime feat that scales to no one physically.

Q: Shouldn't they get tier 2 for Dracula's influence destabilizing the flow of time?

A: This is a potent ability but has nothing to do with Attack Potency, there is no quantification for "destabilizing the flow of time", along with this, even if it was taken as physically, then it would be overtime as the effects are not noticeable throughout most of Curse of Darkness.

Q: Shouldn't Dracula and by proxy anyone that scales to him get tier 2 for him being able to sustain his castle?

A: This goes under our Stabilization Feats standards, which treats sustaining feats are non-combat applicable Attack Potency normally, though in Dracula's case the Castle is speficially powered by the existence of a Dark Lord, and doesn't necessarily need their strength to rise. In the Castlevania novel, the castle rose without a Dark Lord as an example. Along with this, no one scales to the collapse of the castle, in Curse of Darkness Hector would've died to the collapse of the castle if Julia didn't come save him, and Isaac died within the castle. In other cases the Castle does not collapse, but instead slowly fades away. At the end of Dawn of Sorrow Soma Cruz and Genya Arikado (aka Alucard must escape the collapsing abyss.

Q: Shouldn't Castlevania characters that scale to Death have Infinite speed due to Death being able to kill distance itself with his attacks?

A: Killing distance to attack is not a speed feat, it's a method of Spatial Manipulation by circumventing and ignoring distance, while one can say the attack spawns on you instantly, this is not really something quantifiable. Along with this, it would only scale to characters comparable to Death during post-Dawn of Sorrow, as Soma notes Death is far faster than he remembered from his fight with him in Dawn of Sorrow.
