The Lamb (COTL)

The Lamb himself

The Lamb (Sometimes referred to as Lambert) is a small sheep with white wool, dark grey face, limbs, and ears, and tiny red horns. Their large black eyes feature horizontal pupils. On top of their head is the Red Crown, an object of great power that is black in color with two pointed prongs and a crimson eye in the center. Around the lamb's neck is a black collar with a golden bell dangling from it. By default, they wear a red cape known as their "fleece", which can come in other colors such as gold, green, purple, white, blue, and pink/gray after unlocking certain requirements. They have a cheeky yet friendly personality to their followers and friends. He is merciful to those who surrender or helpless. But he can also be merciless to those who follow the Old Faith. The lamb became the god of death after defeating the one who waits. He prefers to talk in short sentiences and he has married The One Who Waits' vessel.

The Red Crown

The crown is primarily black in color but features a glowing red eye in the center, with a slitted pupil reminiscent of a cat's. The top of the crown splits into two prongs. While under the form of a one-eyed snake, few layers of red lines can be seen streaking around the body of the crown, with its red eyes protruding at the front. The crown was originally the property of The One Who Waits and was sealed with him by the Bishops. At the start of the game when the Lamb is beheaded, The One Who Waits gives them the crown, bringing them back from the dead and bestowing powers onto them. Through the power of the Red Crown, the Lamb became immortal, returning from death if ever killed. It can transform into weapons for killing enemies such as swords, daggers, gauntlets, axes and hammers. However, it also can become tools for camp work, such as a woodaxe for cutting trees, a pickaxe for mining stone, or a broom for cleaning up feces and vomit. The crown is sentient, and can communicate with the bearer when In a serpent form, they are also loyal to the bearer only.

The Old Faith Religion

The prior dominant religion, before the Lamb started up a new cult dedicated to the One Who Waits and challenges their oligarchical rule and then betrayed The One Who Waits. It is a cruel, dark, and inhumane faith, dedicated to loyal worship to the Four Bishops and regular sacrifices of unwilling people, like all of the sheep and the Lamb were supposed to be.

The Bishops of the old faith

The leaders of the Old Faith who sealed away the One Who Waits, and each of them rules over a biome in the Lands of the Old Faith.

The One Who Waits

Narinder, as revealed by Shamura, is the true name of The One Who Waits. He was formerly one of the Bishops of the Old Faith, and is the entity that saves the life of the Lamb, demanding they form and lead a cult in his name as repayment. He is also the 3rd oldest of his siblings. Narinder has gray fur and three eyes with red sclera and black pupils. His crown has two ears and a red eye, but he does not wear this for long as he gives it to The Lamb. The Lamb agrees to be his vessel. His face is covered by a veil made of black thread, similarly to his disciples, Aym and Baal. He wears a hooded white robe with a red stripe down the center. He is wrapped in chains, and he also has shackles around his arms and two chains that seem attached to him in a similar manner. After the Lamb defeats him, he shrinks to the same size of the Lamb, though he keeps his head shape and two of his eyes while his third eye is forever closed. He wears a grey ragged shirt, the same as the other non-recruited followers. He feels entitled to his powers and the Red Crown, taking offense if the Lamb should defy his "divine right," him having given the Lamb his crown only out of necessity. When he is defeated and robbed of his powers, he continues to berate the Lamb. Should the Lamb spare Narinder's life, he will call them a coward before yelling at them not to recruit him, his ego bruised by the prospect of servitude. As a follower, he keeps a somewhat callous personality and finds ways to insult the Lamb over minor things. However, his subsequent quests show he might have a softer side Narinder is uncaring, calculating, and treacherous, as evidenced by his willingness to try to kill his own siblings and the Lamb that faithfully served him. He sees the Lamb and the cultists as nothing more than tools to meet his ends. The lamb Defeated and vesselized him out of mercy.

Bishop #1 Leshy

Leshy is one of the four Bishops of the Old Faith, the ruler of Darkwood. He is the youngest bishop and a major boss in Cult of the Lamb. Most players will encounter and defeat him first but the Bishops can be fought in any order with the only unlock requirement for each biome being the number of followers the lamb's Cult has. Leshy resembles a bagworm larva with a round head covered in thick green leaves. Several thin black branches protrude from either side of his head like horns. His eye had been gouged out by The One Who Waits, thus they are covered by a set of thick, bloodstained bandages wrapped around his head. Black ichor can be seen oozing out from beneath the bandages. Like the other bishops, Leshy wears a long black robe with golden trimmings that covers the rest of his body. His crown bears two sharp points and a green, diamond-shaped eye. Upon being transformed into a follower, his head doesn't appear any different from his initial base form head, asside from the missing crown. Due to the large bandage covering his head, his emotion can't be conveyed like other followers, and can only be determined by the emotion in his voice. His Biome is the Darkwoods.

Bishop #2 Heket

Heket is one of the four Bishops of the Old Faith. She is the second youngest bishop, the ruler of Anura, and the second major boss in Cult of the Lamb. Heket is a red frog with four eyes that have black sclera and red, cross-shaped pupils. She has several cross-like protrusions sticking out from her head, and she wears a three-pointed crown with a yellow, upside-down triangular eye. Like the other Bishops, Heket wears a long black robe with golden trimmings that covers the rest of her body. What appear to be two black hands can be seen emerging from her robe, holding it closed. Her throat is wrapped in bandages, as it was slit by The One Who Waits, with some of the bandaging hanging down her back like a scarf. Upon being defeated and transformed into a follower, she appears with two normal eyes like those of other followers, as opposed to her base form eyes. She has a similar appearance as that of the Frog Follower Form, with the exception of six crosses protruding from her head, and her throat which is still bandaged.

Bishop #3 Kalmarr

Kallamar is one of the four Bishops of the Old Faith, the ruler of of Anchordeep, and the third major boss in Cult of the Lamb. He is also the second eldest bishop and known for his coward attitude (As mentioned by various characters, and partially himself). Kallamar appears to be a cyan squid with a split open mouth filled with rows of teeth. His eyes have black sclera with red slits for pupils, and he appears to have a scar running across the skin surrounding his left eye. There are two pairs of cross-like protrusions appearing from his head, and he wears a cone-shaped crown that has a blue, circular eye. Both of his ears have been scarred by The One Who Waits and are covered by bandages.

Bishop #4 Shamura

Shamura is a purple non-binary spider who serves as the eldest of the four Bishops of the Old Faith religion. They rule the Silk Cradle biome and are the fourth major boss in Cult of the Lamb. Shamura is a purple spider with four eyes of black sclera and red slit pupils, as well as two large fangs appearing from their mouth. Two pairs of cross-like protrusions emanate from their head, and they wear a crown with a concave top and a purple, crescent-shaped eye. Shamura's skull was split by The One Who Waits and is wrapped in bandages, covering their exposed brain. When they lose their bandages, their crown appears to be reaching into their brain, using vein-like apparatuses. Like the other bishops, Shamura wears a long black robe with golden trimmings that hides the rest of their body. Upon being transformed into a follower, they appear with two eyes with black and white pupil as opposed to their base form's eyes much like every follower despite being a spider. There are four crosses above their head, and their forehead is still wrapped by bandages from their base form.

Ratau

Ratau is a brown rat that is missing his left eye and a section of his left ear. He wears a green jacket, red plaid scarf, and a paper hat with a triangle symbol that has a line horizontally through the middle. This same symbol appears on his forehead. He carries a stick staff that has two leaves growing out of it and has been bandaged a few times. Ratau used to be a vessel like the Lamb, but failed somewhere along the way. He guides the Lamb to safety after they are resurrected by The One Who Waits. After teaching them the basics of running a Cult, he retires to the Lonely Shack, where he plays Knucklebones with The Lamb, Flinky, Shrumy, and Klunko & Bop. Ratau is something of a father figure to the lamb, guiding and leading them on their journey.

(Original Creation) The Church of the Wolf God

A seemingly lost religion that was ruined by the old faith of the apocalypse. The Wolf God himself is the God of life and creation, he was always at odds with the Old Faith. The Old Faith slaughtered the majority of the Church. The Remaining church are extremely loyal and devoted, instead of barbaric sacrifices and such. The church uses rituals celebrating life to show their devotion to the wolf God, which is older than the Old Faith Brothers, he was one of the first gods before the wars between gods, which led to followers being slaughtered. The crowns of the old gods remained, leading to the Old Faith rising into power. The main Shrine of the Wolf God is in misery, a statue stands in its epicenter of the Wolf God himself. A portion the head is missing, which is a key item for the lamb. The lamb has no knowledge of the Church, but the Crown does.

After The Lamb refused to become a sacrifice, the lamb defeated Narinder and forced him into a weaker vessel of his former body, after a while, the lamb grew attached to the Immortal Vessel of his Ex-Deity and married him. Sometimes the Lamb calls Narinder pet names or "Nari"
