The Skull Worshipper is a monster in Sphinx and the Cursed Mummy.

- ―Book of Sphinx
- "A powerful ally to the forces of evil."

Traits, Appearance, and Abilities[]
Similar to the appearance of the Skull Swordsman, the Skull Worshipper wears a brown tunic over its corpse-like body. It wields a flaming staff.
Strategy for Sphinx[]

Locations[]
- Mysterious Location (Non-Respawning)
- Great Wall Entrance II
- Uruk Islands (Non-Respawning)
Trivia[]
- The Skull Worshippers are first seen at the Mysterious Location in a group of three. This fight can sometimes be tricky, requiring the player to separate the trio before striking. This difficulty, as well as the reward of a Gold Ankh, can make them a candidate to be the first boss battle.
- They do not have the ability to summon a spirit, despite what the game manual says. That power belongs to the Skull Swordsman.
