Mummy

A mummy is a preserved corpse. Some are reanimated, becoming shambling monsters. When Gabriel Knight travels to Benin and opens the inner circle of the Snake Mound, they come alive and shamble towards him. They cannot be injured by weapons, and if Gabriel is caught, they will rip out his heart and consume him. His only defense in running past them and closing the inner chamber door, rendering them inanimate.

Later, Wolfgang Ritter suggests taking out one of their hearts to use on the sacrificial alter, although this is only a ploy to keep him distracted while he himself makes the ultimate sacrifice.
