The myth

The Reaper of the Lost Tombs is a MYTHENOR creation, but the crime it punishes is historical. Deir el-Medina was home to the workers who built the royal tombs, and World History Encyclopedia notes that some of them ended up robbing the very tombs they had helped build and protect. A mason named Amenpanufer confessed to breaking into the tomb of Pharaoh Sobekemsaf II with colleagues, stealing amulets and gold. For the Egyptians, robbing a tomb threatened the very eternal life of the dead.

Why it has this power

A common level 4 Undead of Fire, the torches it takes from robbers, with 1300 ATK and 900 DEF. Sun beats Moon and Scarab beats Leviathan. With the Embalmer's Bandages, which give Undead +700, it reaches 2000 ATK and 1600 DEF.
