Appearance

What You See

Based on certain assumptions, a living being loses up to 80% of its body weight in the process of drying out.

The aforementioned assumptions are based on very cursory research on Google:

  • Blood accounts for about 7% of a person’s body weight
  • Internal organs total about 12% of a person’s body weight
  • Approximately 60% of human body weight is water

Ancient mummification involved removal of the internal organs, with some amount of dehydration occurring over time depending on the technology and skill involved in the mummification process.

Result: an average human female mummy might weigh anywhere from 25 to 95 lbs depending on age and circumstances. An average human male mummy would range from 35 to 130 lbs in the same circumstances.

Variations

Ghouls are related to ghasts, and in fact resemble them so closely as to be almost indistinguishable… until you smell them. Ghouls are also related to lacedons, and are the basis for the ghoulish creature template. Nehwon ghoul and Kleshite ghoul are not apparently related.
