Shami-Amourae debuted in ''[[Dungeon]]'' #5 in the adventure "The Stolen Power" (1987), where she had the power of a demigoddess. Nothing more was mentioned of her until 2006, in ''[[Fiendish Codex I: Hordes of the Abyss]]'', where it is revealed that she was imprisoned in the Wells of Darkness as a result of her war with Malcanthet. Shami-Amourae's statistics were considerably powered down for her third edition debut in 2007's ''Dungeon'' #148, in the adventure "The Wells of Darkness." Her ultimate release from her prison is the goal of the adventure. | Shami-Amourae debuted in ''[[Dungeon]]'' #5 in the adventure "The Stolen Power" (1987), where she had the power of a demigoddess.
