No narrative origin story for Mumudu/Mamu is preserved in the provided excerpts. Textual attestations identify Mamu as a dream-associated deity and in some sources as the daughter of the sun god Shamash/Utu; the form Mumudu appears in enumerations of the seven Šassūrātu/assuratu goddesses in Mesopotamian god lists. Surviving texts in the provided material do not record a mythic account of her birth or a fuller origin narrative.
The provided sources do not supply any description of Mumudu/Mamu's physical appearance or iconography. No anthropomorphic, symbolic, or visual depictions are cited in the available excerpts.
In the extant citations Mamu/Mumudu is explicitly identified as a deity associated with dreams and is sometimes called the 'Utu of dreams' in relation to the sun god Shamash/Utu. The sources do not provide additional specific powers, rites, or functions beyond this association. They also note that references to a male Mamu exist in some texts, which has been proposed to represent a later gender change in particular textual traditions.
