Legendary Resistance (3/Day). If the mummy lord fails a saving throw, it can choose to succeed instead.
Magic Resistance. The mummy lord has advantage on saving throws against spells and other magical effects.
Rejuvenation. A destroyed mummy lord gains a new body in 24 hours if its heart is intact, regaining all its hit points and becoming active again.
Multiattack. The mummy lord makes two attacks: one with its rotting fist and one with its channel negative energy, or two rotting fist attacks.
Rotting Fist. Melee Weapon Attack: +9 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 15 (3d6+5) bludgeoning damage plus 21 (6d6) necrotic damage, and the target must succeed on a DC 16 Constitution save or its hit point maximum is reduced by an amount equal to the necrotic damage taken.
Dreadful Glare. The mummy lord targets one creature it can see within 60 feet, forcing a DC 16 Wisdom save or the target becomes frightened and paralyzed until the spell ends.
