I haven't seen the film itself, but I have heard that there are some creatures that are very similar to the undead fetish. I need to come up with a few egyptian themed monsters for a mod, and if I can use those graphics for it that would be great. Just wondering what more anyone might know about these creatures: what are they, what are they called, anything else the movie might reveal about them. I wonder if this is based on some egyptian/pre-arab middle-eastern mythology, would be even better if I could identify that. (Or is hollywood just mixing mythology of different cultures?)

If anyone knows some basic resources on egyptian mythology and their pantheon, or just some suggestions for egyptian-themed monsters for D2, I'm also open to them

I believe the fetish type creatures were called pygmies. I could be wrong about that since I only saw the film once. I don't know if they are egyptian related or not, but I'm sure a web search on egyptian mythology will help out.

They were very similar to the fetishes though. They were in a jungle, and they attacked in massive waves. Some of them also used blowguns.

As to other creatures, pretty much all of act 2 would count. The mummies and beetles in particular. I think the mummy type monsters from D2 were called something like Anubis. If I remember correctly, egyptian mythology also had some creatures similar to the claw vipers.
