Phasmophobia Ghost Concept: Mummy

[BlazingMammoth]

Journal Entry: “Mummies are ancient spirits that have strayed from their physical remains where they were buried.”

Strengths: “Mummies have great endurance, and are able to hunt for much longer intervals of time than other ghosts.”

Weaknesses: “The dried body of a Mummy is susceptible to salt, and it will become inactive for a short period of time after stepping in it.”

Evidence:
-Freezing Temperatures
-Fingerprints
-D.O.T.S. Projector

Again, not a bad concept... but it has one kind of big flaw.

This time though, it's simply the ghost type you chose. Mummies, IMHO, don't really jump out at me as something that can ever be a ghost to begin with... given they are almost always depicted as lumbering about in an actual physical form.

As for everything else... most of it seems okay? About the only thing I'm not too sure on is if it should have Wraiths old salt based weakness. Rest of it would have to come down to it's stats, such as hunting speed.

Looks interesting, but as WolfLink said, the mummy being susceptible to salt seems... strange? Something really dry wouldn't really get dryer just by touching salt. I'd see that in a swamp- or water based ghost more than a mummy.

I did some digging and found that a revenant technically isn’t a ghost either, more like a zombie, I think generally undead creatures could still work

Eh, on the one hand salt makes sense in the real world as it damages nearly everything. Straight up eats through steel. It's even worse than rust in that scenario, though with fabrics and, well, biological materials, it's a bit more dangerous depending on the concentrations.

On the other hand, there's a bigger issue: The mythos is that salt protects the living and the dead. At least if we're going with the Egyptian lore and not movie lore or something else. There's also an issue with salt being a preservative and if we're talking about the real world, mummies were covered in salt to dry them out; Natron (Na2CO3·10H2O) to be more specific to Egyptian mummies. It's more or less used as soap, water softener, and so on these days. As in, it's pretty much harmless to both the fabrics and biological materials mentioned before.

To put it simple: They're already covered in salt anyway.

Edit: I like the idea of mummies. Please don't get the comment crossed, though I'm not sure how it'd be worked into the game so much.
