Mummy

From TARDIS Index File, the free Doctor Who reference.

A mummy is a corpse whose skin and dried flesh have been preserved. Many cultures, especially the Egyptians, deliberately preserved bodies of important persons as mummies.

Circa 2650 BC, the Doctor wrapped up the Monk as a mummy to get him out of the way. (DW: The Daleks' Master Plan)

Osirian service robots resembled Egyptian mummies. (DW: Pyramids of Mars)

Centuries in the future on New Jupiter, walking mummies were part of the Egyptian section of EarthWorld. (EDA: EarthWorld)
