Shamura is one of the four Bishops of the Old Faith, the ruler of of the Silk Cradle, and the fourth major boss in Cult of the Lamb.

Shamura appears to be a purple spider with four eyes of black sclera and red slit pupils. Two pairs of cross-like protrusions emanate from their head, and they wear a crown with a concaved top and a purple, crescent-shaped eye. A pair of prominent fangs protrude from their mouth. Shamura's skull was split by The One Who Waits and is wrapped in bandages, covering their exposed brain. Like the other bishops, Shamura wears a long black robe with golden trimmings that hides the rest of their body.

After being transformed by a ritual, Shamura's body grows a large, bandaged abdomen like that of a spider's, ending in a sharp, red stinger. Three sets of long spider legs appear from Shamura's body, and two arms ending in blades protrude from their robe, which still hangs from their neck.

Shamura embodies the concept of "Think No Evil" as their head is wrapped in bandages and their brain becomes exposed during their boss fight. They also represent the 2nd Horseman of War as they will summon and mind control The Lamb's Followers and compel them to fight their leader. Shamura's followers pray to them for knowledge and answers.

Shamura is genderless or gender nonbinary as they are never referred to by male or female pronouns.
