<[Race: Dragon (Elder)
<[Type: Chameleos
<[Nickname: Mist Dragon, Ancient Phantom, Phantom of the Deep Forest
<[World: Monster Hunter
<[Class: C-S
<[Element: Dragon Element, Water, Poison, Thunder(Lesser).
<[Weaknesses: Dragon Element, Fire, Thunder
<[Physiology: Chameleos' body is covered by a purple and white hide, and its head ends with a protruding horn at the tip of its nose. Its eyes are similar to a real life chameleon's; large and orb-like, with the ability to control eye movement individually.
The long and elastic tongue can extend to grasp and steal items from a distance. Its wings are a purple color with a grayish white membrane, and are used for flight and controlling the direction of its poison fog. Chameleos's large tail is reminiscent of a leaf and has a curled, spiraling tip.
<[Abilities: Chameleos has the ability to camouflage itself by using the electric currents running through its skin, refracting light in the mist and thus making its body invisible.
This camouflaging ability is disabled if its horn is broken, and the tail severed.
Known for using mist for protection, Chameleos's breath can create a thick fog to impair visibility as well as form dangerous toxic clouds.
The stretching tongue is adept at stealing items from hunters, though this can be prevented with the Anti-Theft skill.
It can also spit out acid blobs to reduce defense, and expel gas that inflicts stamina-lowering fatigue. Fanning its tail, it can cause High Pressure wind (much like Kushala Daora's wind barrier).
<[Behavior: Chameleos in battle, tends to have a jittery nature that makes it fairly unpredictable for hunters. During this odd behavior it will constantly try to steal items and poison unlucky hunters. Rare sightings claim it is peaceful and often avoids combat unless necessary.
<[Habitat: Chameleos is found in tropical and subtropical locations, like the Jungle and Forest and Hills. Occasionally, it has been sighted in the Swamp.
<[Extra Facts:
1. Chameleos is a bit off to real-life Chameleons since it can move very fast unlike the Chameleon's slow nature. However, when no danger is present, Chameleos tends to move slowly and cautiously while camouflaged, much like real-life Chameleons.
2. Despite its namesake, its appearance is based off of Uroplatus (leaf-tailed geckos)
3. Chameleos is very sensitive to Fire Element on the chest, front legs and tail. Dragon element is more effective on the wings, whilst everywhere else on the body takes equal damage from both Elements.
4. Cutting the tail and breaking the horn causes its camouflage effect to stop. Dragon Element is needed to break Chameleos' horn.
