It's difficult to believe nowadays, but fictional Egyptian mummies haven't always been the dusty, bandage-covered zombie analogues they are now. The first stories about reanimated mummies, written in the early 20th century, involved mostly female mummies, and they were portrayed as mysterious, sensual and seductive, taking on the forms of the beautiful women they were in mortal life, and sometimes playing the part of Femme Fatale. Moreover, unlike vampires, succubi and other undead/demonic creatures who usually took on human forms and employed their seductive powers just to drain mortals of their life energy, mummies were much more human, being capable of love and other feelings, sometimes even good-natured and involved in genuine romantic relationships with human males. Since only people of high status could afford to be mummified in ancient Egypt, expect overlap with The Beautiful Elite. Most commonly, sensual female mummies were princesses when they were alive. The fact that the historical figure most associated with Egypt, Cleopatra VII, is often portrayed as a beautiful seductress also helped foster the idea of the beautiful Egyptian mummy. The trope has been largely forgotten for the most of the 20th century due to the emergence of the classic "monster mummy" type, pioneered by Boris Karloff in the famous 1932 movie; however, it seems to be somewhat growing in popularity again nowadays, in part thanks to the resurgence of popularity Cute Monster Girls have experienced recently. Subtrope to both Mummy and Boy Meets Ghoul; Sister Trope to Attractive Zombie and Cute Ghost Girl. Sub-Trope to Egypt Is Still Ancient. Not related to an attractive female parent. For more examples of this trope, check out a thematic category on The Other Wiki. Examples |

The Mummy (1999): Imhotep is at first a rotten, disgusting monster when first resurrected, but over the course of the film his original fit, peak condition body is restored thanks to Liquid Assets. Inverted with Anck-su-namun, who was a Ms. Fanservice while alive, but looks as decrepit and horrid as you'd expect a mummy to look like. |

In The Mummy (2017), when Ahmanet is first resurrected she starts out as a desiccated walking corpse, but after devouring enough lifeforce from her victims to restore her body she becomes a Cute Monster Girl. She also tries to seduce the hero by sending him visions in which she appears as her once-human self. | |

Xombie has Nephthys, who is the resident Ms. Fanservice in the show and a Variant zombie like Dirge. She is also a subversion in that while she aesthetically matches the trope, she is not an actual mummy. She even points out that if she were a mummy, the Egyptians would have removed her brain during mummification, and she wouldn't have reanimated in the first place. | |

Monster Musume: Being a Cute Monster Girl series, the MonMusu Collection endcard for episode 8 of the anime describes mummies as a zombie subspecies whose native environment keeps their bodies intact and protects them from decay, resulting in them looking like attractive humans with parts of their body in bandages. The downside is that their environment robs their skin of its moisture, so they need to take long baths to replenish it, supplementing it with the placebo measure of sucking the life-force out of young men. | |

Subverted in Myth Fortune. Skeeve meets a mummy girl who looks like the standard preserved corpse, but she's so sweet and nice that he ends up asking her out on a date regardless of her appearance. This is to showcase his Character Growth after he'd spent most of the book interested in a girl who was very good looking but was a self-centered manipulator. | |

Queen's Blade: Antagonist character Menace is based on this trope, and emphasizes the "Seductive" aspect so much that you can easily be ignorant that she's supposed to be a mummy at all unless you paid attention when her backstory came up. She forgoes any semblance of bandages, sexy or otherwise, and just looks like a voluptuous bronze-skinned beauty running around in jewelry-based Vapor Wear. Her backstory is that she's the last ruler of an Egypt-themed fallen nation called Amara, which was overrun by invaders because Menace was too preoccupied with the pleasures of her lesbian harem to pay attention to ruling, something she deeply regretted when she was captured and thrown into her palace's slave pits to be beaten and raped to death. Brought back from the dead by the Swamp Witch, she's determined to rebuild her fallen nation and her harem, in roughly that order. | |

Don't Tell Mummy, one of the books in the Graveyard School series, has the main character, Park, meeting a mysterious and sarcastic girl called Morton, who turns out to be a living mummy. Nevertheless, they become friends by the end of the novel, and there may be subtle hints at this trope (especially given that Park chose to pursue the career of an archaeologist due to his encounter with her). | |
