Memory:Rehetep

An ancient, long dead, dried out husk of a being, the bandages that surround it yellowed and rotted with age. It has survived in the pyramid built for it over many ages, with its mind still mostly intact, empowered by the golden ankh amulet it wears. It seeks to replace its wrappings with the skin of a hero, and you qualify... These undead were wrapped and buried with the highest ceremonial expense, their now-dry cloths once of expensive materials, with offerings and preservatives of extreme expense. They have great physical strength and more power than they ever could have in their natural life. An ancient king of his race, he refused to pass into the realm of the dead but obstinately stayed in this world. Though his desiccated body has been treated with preserving substances, decay has finally touched him after many eons, and if he can't refresh his exhausted substance with the blood, flesh and skin of a living soul, he will soon crumble to dust.
