 A mummy itself is not anything living. It's the result of a process of embalming.

1. (in voodoo) a. the body of a dead person given the semblance of life, but mute and will-less, by a supernatural force, usually for some evil purpose. 

 A zombie is the 'reanimated' corpse of something or someone. They are just terms used in different cultures that people confuse to be the same thing.
 

Regina Terra:
I got the idea from watching Return Of the Mummy the other day.

Kadesh:
 You got the idea from Hollywood? The same Hollywood who says that Vamps are the walking dead?

Regina Terra:
No just Hollywood, they only brought the idea up to the surface. I originally got the idea from a book where a necromancer arose a mummy to kill his enemies cuz it wouldn't rot & fall apart like ordinary zombies would.
