Appearence
Chameleo or the kameleon, is a strong builded lizard.
The flat belly and back make it a bizarre creature.
The tongue is at least just as long as the animals itself.
The Chameleo family is known for its ability to change color,
Yet Chameleo Calyptratis can adjust himself to "just" 3 colors: green, brown, and green/yellow.
But Chameleo Fucifer Pardalis can also change to yellow, red, and blue but not on command, these colors are printed and every time the same.
