• Curse: Mummy Rot: A mummys touch inflicts a dreadful curse called mummy rot. A cursed creature can't regain hit points, and its hit point maximum decreases by an amount equal to the creatures total number of Hit Dice for every 24 hours that elapse. If this curse reduces the targets hit point maximum to 0, the target dies and crumbles to dust. Remove curse and similar magic ends the curse.
• Flammable: After taking fire damage, the mummy lord catches fire and takes 11 (2d10) ongoing fire damage if it isnt already suffering ongoing fire damage. A creature can use an action or legendary action to extinguish this fire.
• Legendary Resistance (1/Day): If the mummy lord fails a saving throw while wearing its scarab amulet, it can choose to succeed instead. When it does so, the scarab amulet shatters. The mummy lord can create a new amulet when it finishes a long rest.
• Magic Resistance: The mummy lord has advantage on saving throws against spells and magical effects.
• Rejuvenation: If its heart is intact, a destroyed mummy lord gains a new body in 1d4 days, regaining all its hit points. The new body forms within 10 feet of the heart.

Actions

• Multiattack: The mummy lord uses Dreadful Glare and then attacks with its rotting fist.
• Dreadful Glare (Gaze): The mummy lord targets a creature within 60 feet. The target makes a DC 16 Wisdom saving throw. On a failure it is magically frightened until the end of the mummy lords next turn. If the target fails the save by 5 or more it is paralyzed for the same duration. A target that succeeds on the saving throw is immune to the Dreadful Glare of mummies and mummy lords for 24 hours.
• Rotting Fist: Melee Weapon Attack: +9 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 14 (3d6 + 4) bludgeoning damage plus 21 (6d6) necrotic damage. If the target is a creature it makes a DC 17 Constitution saving throw. On a failure it is cursed with Mummy Rot.
• Dispel Magic (3rd-Level; V, S): The mummy lord scours the magic from one creature object or magical effect it can see within 120 feet. A spell ends if it was cast with a 3rd-level or lower spell slot. For spells using a 4th-level or higher spell slot the mummy lord makes a Wisdom ability check (DC 10 + the spells level) for each one ending the effect on a success.
• Guardian of Faith (4th-Level; V): A Large indistinct spectral guardian appears within an unoccupied space within 30 feet and remains for 8 hours. Creatures of the mummy lords choice that move to a space within 10 feet of the guardian for the first time on a turn make a DC 17 Dexterity saving throw taking 20 radiant or necrotic damage (mummy lords choice) on a failed save or half damage on a success. The spell ends when the guardian has dealt 60 total damage.
• Contagion (5th-Level; V, S): Melee Spell Attack: +9 to hit, reach 5 ft., one creature. Hit: The target contracts a flesh-rotting disease. It has disadvantage on Charisma ability checks and becomes vulnerable to all damage. The target makes a DC 17 Constitution saving throw at the end of each of its turns. After 3 failures the target stops making saving throws and the disease lasts for 7 days. After 3 successes the effect ends.
• Harm (6th-Level; V, S): The mummy lord targets a creature within 60 feet. The target makes a DC 17 Constitution saving throw. On a failure the creature is diseased taking 49 (14d6) necrotic damage. Its hit point maximum is reduced by the same amount for 1 hour or until the effect is removed with a spell that removes diseases. On a successful save the creature takes half the damage. The spells damage can't reduce a target to less than 1 hit point.

Reactions

• Blasphemous Counterspell: When the mummy lord is targeted by a spell using a 4th-level or lower spell slot, the attacker makes a DC 16 Constitution saving throw. On a failure, the spell is wasted, and the caster takes 3 (1d6) necrotic damage per level of the spell slot.
