Shamoke (onyomi: Shamaka) was the king to a race in China –never specified as to which particular community he ruled– who allied himself with Liu Bei in 222. He faced Wu and, while suffering a crushing defeat from their fire attack, was decapitated. He is given an expanded role in the games and the novel.

Role in Games

Shamoke is a constant general for Shu at the Battle of Yiling in Dynasty Warriors. There, he will either serve at the front lines or, as in Wu's story in the eighth installment, ambush Gan Ning and kill him if the player doesn't help the latter. Dynasty Warriors 5: Xtreme Legends features him as part of Ou Xing's forces when he rebels, and participates in an attack against a village. Dynasty Warriors 6 also has him serve as an officer for Yue Ying at the Battle of Wu Zhang Plains.

In Warriors Orochi, Sha Moke sometimes serves as a replacement officer for several characters during the Shu storyline.

In Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Shamoke is given a high war stat and above-average leadership with low intelligence and politics. He often has a high infantry or pike aptitude depending on the game. He can be found at Wuling as a free officer.

Romance of the Three Kingdoms

Shamoke was the king of the Five Valleys region, commanding all of the tribes that resided there. His weapons of choice were two bows at his belt, along with two spiked iron maces from which bone pendants hung. Aside from that, he also had large blue eyes, and a blood-splotched face.

When Liu Bei, the first ruler of Shu, decided to take his revenge on Wu for the murder of his sworn brother, Guan Yu, he asked Shamoke for fifty thousand warriors for aid. Shamoke personally led his soldiers to join with Liu Bei's seven hundred thousand. In 221 AD, the massive army broke through into Wu territory, easily defeating the opposition, until they reached the plains of Yiling.

Later, scouts reported a large Wu battalion was marching towards the Shu encampment. Liu Bei led his own legion into battle with his army divided into eight parts for maximum flexibility. Very soon, the Wu army retreated and Liu Bei called for a pursuit. During the chase, Shamoke raided Gan Ning's troops. Gan Ning fled at the mere sight of Shamoke. The king fired an arrow that pierced through Gan Ning's skull, killing him.

Lu Xun, Wu's commander, launched a fire attack during the night in the woods occupied by the Shu army. The Shu forces were scattered and many of their soldiers were trampled whilst trying to escape. Shamoke was fleeing south but met Zhou Tai. After a brief bout, Shamoke was slain.
