Publication History
The mummy was included in earliest Dungeons and Dragons boxed games as well as the original Monster Manual written by Gary Gygax and published in 1977. Since then, the mummy has remained a fixture of the Dungeons & Dragons universe and has been represented in each subsequent edition.
Later versions of the game have presented mummy templates which can be applied to various creatures so that a Dungeon Master can easily create, for example goblin mummies, hydra mummies, drider mummies, or whatever.
