Mummy

Source Monster Core pg. 234
While many cultures practice mummification for benign reasons, undead mummies are created through grueling rituals, typically to provide eternally vigilant guardians. Much more rarely, a body mummified without those special rites can rise again due to its hatred of the living.

Few faiths support mummification as a means of creating the undead. Certain Iroransects practice self-mummification, for example, and worshippers of the ancient Osirian god Set left behind many mummies in that empire's lands. Urgathoa'sfaith, however, wholeheartedly embraces the mummification of the willing and unwilling alike, producing most of the mummies in modern times.

Undead mummies stand in a mockery of preserving bodies after death, trapping souls in their static husks rather than allowing them to enter the Great Beyond. Followers of Pharasma consider them an affront to their goddess on many levels, with some even refusing to perform the traditional rites their goddess supports.
