Shamuru is a member of the Barako Tribe in Savage Empire. When Shamuru first met the Avatar after his fight with the giant Pterosaurias, the bright light of recognition immediately flickered across his face. Unfortunately, they were separated after the Avatar's battle with Darden. The Avatar later met Shamuru with the Barako tribe, where he explained that he showed up in Eodon recently, but had no memories of his previous life. He told the Avatar that the Barako had adopted him, but he felt more comfortable in the deep jungle than in the Barako's mountainous terrain.
