Let's assume you're trying to stick with the PHB concept...That should already be the end of the question. The PHB Paladin doesn't team up with evil beings. This one is a good being so it's ok. The PHB Paladin doesn't have restrictions about having undead friends.I don't understand why you worry about this at all... The paladin is not creating the mummy, neither is another PC, and the mummy is not guilty of "creating himself". Or are you worried that the paladin would refuse to play in a game with a DM that creates undead?  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61b.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":p" title="Stick out tongue    :p"  data-smilie="7"data-shortname=":p" /> Allowing the existence is stretching it too much since the mummy is good.You have to find your own answer. In our games we've never had someone "create a good undead", and the few good undead always had some reason to exist which is not "being created" by another character.By the PHB concept they shouldn't willingly work with someone who is evil, period. Spiderman certainly could never be a PHB paladin. They also don't have to smite evil at every opportunity, like blindly, if there is a reason (e.g. maybe the paladin shouldn't now waste his time with lesser evil or the greater evil will escape). But allying with lesser evil against the greater evil is certainly NO for a PHB paladin.</blockquote>
