The living Mummy is the result of magical processes. It is about the African tribal and warrior chief N'Kantu, transformed into a mummy. Reaching a size close to 2.30 m for a mass of about 300 kg, perfectly preserved thanks to a mystical embalming process, he became an eternal living dead. She no longer needs to feed, breathe or sleep. Thanks to the preservation fluid that keeps her alive, she can resist the effects of diseases, drugs and time. She possesses superhuman strength and endurance, and she can detect magic as well as certain forms of energy.
