Random Baconman

Hello everyone. I just wanted to know, if anyone else noticed, and/or can explain this.
I started a new game of Tomb Raider I yesterday, and near the end of "Tomb of Qualopec" when you go into the room to get the scion piece off the pedastle, I had my guns out and they pointed to a Streaky Bacon man - a mummified one it seemed. So, I shot at it for a bit, and it just fell over and moaned. The other one, Lara didn't even point at. It didn't moan or anything, and of course, Qualopec was his usual silent self.
I've played this part and noticed the baconmummy every time, but just got to posting it. Has anyone got an explaination, or noticed this also?

Yes, the mummy on the left side you can shoot. I guess he was meant to move when you pick up the scion piece, but they messed up the coding or something.

Ah, that makes sense. I thought for a minute maybe it was just telling you "these are bad. shoot them when they move"

I don't think this was a coding error. I've always thought that mummy was a perfectly intentional 'fake' mummy intended to be a kind of switch you have to shoot instead of press.

LOL Scott. Well I've never considered that.
