The quantum shade was a being that took the form of a raven. It killed people by diving inside there chests. It could chase someone across the universe.  It was owned by Mayor Me who used it to execute people in the Trap Street It was instructed to kill anyone with a chronolock (a tatto counting down the minutes until somone dies) . Mayor Me instructed the shade to kill [[Rigsy]] (after falsely accusing him of murdering Anah) and then wiped his memory so Rigsy would call on the Doctor who would then visit Trap Street. Mayor Me revealed she never intended to kill Rigsy and that it was to lure The Doctor into giving over his confession dial, and that she wasn't behind it all and that an Unknown Force had blackmailed her into doing this. The force also wanted The Doctor to be teleported away to a yet unknown region. As the Mayor attempted to remove Rigsy's chronolock she discovered that Clara Oswald took it. She said the Shade would not cancel the deal to kill Clara since it had been instructed to kill Rigsy and the instruction could only be halted while Rigsy had the chronolock. The Shade then killed Clara Oswald.

You may be looking for Elemental Shade.

Quantum Shades were beings that could kill specific people regardless of their location in space and time. They seem to desire it, with Me explaining that she "promised" her Quantum Shade ally "a soul". Their victims would be marked with a chronolock, a tattoo-like brand on their neck, counting down the minutes to their death. They could appear as billowing clouds of smoke or "compact" themselves into innocuous physical forms. Deaths caused by Quantum Shades were automatically fixed. (TV: Face the Raven)

25 October marked the flocking of the Quantum Shades. (PROSE: Time Traveller's Diary)

As Mayor of the Trap Street, Me made a contract with a Quantum Shade known to the Street's residents as "the Raven", as it often took the form of a large black raven except when it went "hunting" for the victims Me offered it. She used the threat of the Raven to keep a ruthless order in the Street, allowing it to function as an alien refugee camp that would accept even the likes of Sontarans and Cybermen. Though Me had not intended it, Clara Oswald eventually became a victim of the Raven, (TV: Face the Raven) although the Twelfth Doctor later managed to extract her from her time-stream just before death, allowing her to live out an arbitrarily long life without ageing until she eventually chose to be returned to her appointed death. Although Clara did seem to intend to fulfil this obligation eventually, (TV: Hell Bent) the Doctor later came to suspect that, given this infinite time, she found a way to bypass this death entirely, although she eventually died in unrelated circumstances, with her mind later becoming part of the Testimony Foundation. (PROSE: Twice Upon a Time)
