Chameleos, or Khameleos (Chameleodraco obscurum), is one of the Elder Dragons introduced in Monster Hunter Dos. They are tricky elder dragons well-known for being master thieves. It was introduced as the protagonist in Weather Dragons: The Last Special Heritage of the Romanovs and as the deuteragonist in Worldcraft: Fairytale's Ending.
Etymology
Chameleons are a bit off compared to real-life chameleons since they can move very fast, unlike chameleons' slow nature. However, when no danger is present, chameleons tend to move slowly and cautiously while camouflaged, much like real-life chameleons. Despite its namesake, its appearance is based on Uroplatus (leaf-tailed geckos).
The English word Chameleos (/kəˈmiːliəuz/ kuh-MEEL-ee-ous) is just chameleon (/kəˈmiːliən/ kuh-MEEL-ee-un) is a simplified spelling of Latin chamaeleōn, a borrowing of the Ancient Greek χαμαιλέων (khamailéōn), a compound of χαμαί (khamaí) "on the ground" and λέων (léōn) "lion"; and -ōs, the suffix accusative masculine plural of -us.
Physical Appearance
Chameleos's 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 is 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.
When Chameleos beats its tail on the ground, it will try to steal an item immediately after finishing. The stretching tongue is adept at stealing items and now steals Spiribird buffs 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 or beating its tail can cause high-pressure wind (much like Kushala Daora's wind barrier).
Chameleos also possess an extra vocal cord paralysis poison in their upper fangs, causing them to be deaf and muting, causing the hunter to be unable to speak or chat in game, along with being unable to use music or sonic bombs.
Skills
Nowhere to See Me (Chuvash: çукпĕрре épĕ кур / Çukpĕrre érĕ kur): Chameleos enter stealth mode while camouflaging, increasing their speed and flying while camouflaging in 5 seconds.
Tongue Thievery (Russian: воровство языка / Vorovstvo yazyka): Chameleos stretches its tongue, is adept at stealing items, and now steals Spiribird buffs from hunters.
Undercover Mist (Russian: Туман под прикрытием / Tuman pod prikrytiyem): Chameleos spews fog, causing blurring vision to the enemies, as well as entering the camouflaging form while in mist and dodging percent to 56%.
For My family and Romanovs, You whore bitch! or Famine Strike (Russian: Для моей семьи и Романовых. Ты сука блять! / "Dlya moyey sem'i i Romanovykh. Ty cyka blyat!" or Chuvash: Аслă выçăлăх тухсан / "Aslă vyçălăh tuhsan"): Chameleos becomes mad and spews poison beams and two tongue shots, causing stealing items and poison. Chameleos's ultimate skill requires a mother tongue: Russian or Chuvash.
Valor Impostor (Chuvash: паттӑрлӑх шульӑкла / pattărlăh šulʹăkla): Chameleos now possess poison, vocal cord paralysis, fatigue, and blindness depending on the attacks or basic attack, and enter stealth after the skill is used. This stealth now adds 10% attack enhancement to causing moderate damage and poison.
Weaknesses
Sonic bombs or concussion scream bombs detonating near Chameleos while it is in the middle of an attack cause it to flinch and turn it completely visible for roughly one minute. There is also a chance that chameleos may drop a shiny when this happens. This can be done regardless of whether Chameleos is in Rage Mode or not.

Fog
Ecology
Chameleos are ambush hunters, waiting patiently for prey to pass by while they blend perfectly into their surroundings. Chameleos can and will eat almost anything, and they can use different tactics to take down varying sizes of prey. Should its prey be an insect such as a Vespoid, Altaroth, Bnahabra, Konchu, or other kinds, it will simply snatch it out of the air using its long, sticky tongue. If it is a supply camp, it'll steal with each opportunity it gets. Chameleos are different from other Elder Dragons, as they are not nearly as "elegant" in their appearance as other Elder Dragon species. Chameleos have a number of biological adaptations that make them extremely unique. Most notable is the Chameleos's trademark camouflage mechanism.
Each species of Chameleos has a different way of camouflaging itself. By generating a weak electric current in its skin that interacts with the mist it can breathe, the Elder Dragon can bend light around itself, rendering it effectively invisible. Some Chameleos use special ore to enable their camouflage. This illusion is not, however, perfect. If Chameleos sustains significant damage or dismemberment to its tail or horn, it can lose this ability altogether. Chameleos also lose their stealth if poisoned. Chameleos have independently moving eyeballs that protrude from the sides of their heads to create a wider field of vision. Chameleos have several nasty defenses should they ever come under attack. Its acid is incredibly potent, capable of dissolving all but rock. For hunters, this often means severe armor degradation and severely decreased stamina.
They possess an extremely strong poison, which can be released from its mouth at will and is often whipped into a thick cloud by the dragon's wings. Some Chameleos also possess extra vocal cord paralysis poison in their upper fangs, like a snake. Finally, it can exhale large amounts of mist to further hinder the vision of hunters, allowing it to either make a swift getaway or launch a surprise attack with ease. Some rare individuals have the strange ability to make floating stamina-draining bubbles come from the ground around them when angered. They appear to be more intelligent, as they will use their tongue to launch hunters into the air and form a toxic cloud aimed at the launched hunter. Their abilities to make acid globs and poison stamina-draining spray are also improved, as they can spit three globs at once and make a wider spray.
This Chameleos evolved into a Verechelen, the serpentine Elder Dragon with angelic wings and a very long horn on their nose with very bright colors, which is more poisonous and instantly kills Zmey Gorynych.
Behavior
Chameleos in battle tend 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. Chameleos are very intelligent creatures. They will wait patiently at a spot of importance, such as a water source or a natural crossroads, waiting for prey to pass by. Chameleos are well known for stealing items from hunters. Chameleos do this in order for the hunter to lose motivation for hunting them down.
Distribution and Habitat
Chameleos became extinct when the real Princess Anastasia and Sir Dimitri were killed in 1918 during the execution of the Romanov family by Horned King Arnoldus, in Chuvashia Republic by Bolsheviks and Zmey Gorynych, only lead the tragedy romance of World War II. However, Lyudmila Pavlichenko rediscovered that the Elder Dragon is not extinct on Earth; many people didn't believe it until they resolved a mystery.
Both Constantin Sănătescu and Mihai of Romania found one individual in Sawintir. In the future of the Worldcraft series, most Chameleos were found and introduced in Reinachos for unknown reasons by Louis Alphonse de Bourbon's descendants. Chameleos were found in tropical and subtropical locations, like the jungle, forest, and hills. Occasionally, it has been sighted in the swamp.
The chameleos' habitat range is restricted to tropical and subtropical environments such as swamps, jungles, primal forests, everwood, ruined ridges, forests, and hills. The beast will not venture into these temperate climates, and it doesn't appear capable of surviving in environmental extremes.

Lore
Bereshit - 11009 BCE-2024 AD
Project Pashneia, a scientific attempt by the Terran branch of Deities to construct any animals, monsters, or humans in terms of their own, produced this creature, which the Chuvash called shchelen but which the Agents of Shield called Chameleos. It was the ultimate weapon, and it was the Elder Dragon. The royal family that owns this species is also protected by the use of this biological weapon in military operations. The eggs were hidden by early Chuvash people until the Romanov family's guard or maids found them. This creature was fit for this storyline about being created by Enn, or deities, and used by humans for royal family against enemies, if only supposed to be for indigenous people and royal family only.
To avoid misunderstanding, humanity triggered the sixth mass extinction event, the Holocene extinction, which was caused by Elder Dragons and Eldritch Terrors, not the radical changes in history that Chameleos brought about. There have been numerous reports of sightings of this animal outside of the Russian Federation, including in Southeast Asia, East Asia, Western Oceania, Continental Europe, North and Western Africa, Florida, and northern South America, including Colombia, where this species first developed its own interesting legend about how Anya's pet's brother managed to survive both the Russian Revolution and the Colombian Revolution, ultimately leading to Pablo Escobar's existence. Hector of Bogota and Ivan of Chuvashia were both brothers who, by coincidence, were connected to the early 1910s and the films Encanto by Disney and Anastasia by 20th Century Studios. The most common Elder Dragon species in the universe are Kushala Daora, Teostra and Lunastra, Velkhana, and Magalas.
This animal was born as assassins and tricksters, which didn't happen before the Assassin Brotherhood and Templar Knights fought against Conservationist Hunters, the third and final known warriors of protection, according to Queen Arianna. Chameleos were brought into the Monster Hunter and Marvel Universe universes because they were created by gods and goddesses. Citizens of the Corona Kingdom and the Dark Kingdom utilized the chameleos as their third emblem and the only purple and white drawings of this species. created by Eostre.
By harnessing Nikola Tesla's dark energy, which employs the Dragon Element and can cause the Chaosblight condition, which can momentarily nullify an opponent's elemental abilities and cause cancer, Nikola Tesla betrays the Emperor of Russia and Grigori Rasputin. A nuclear-scale explosion and red and black chaotic energy could result from the destruction of one of the other Pieces of Eden, which resembles Caledfwlch and has a lot of potential energy. A similar explosion happened in the Russian region of Tunguska in 1908. Chameleos, the Elder Dragon, perished as a result of the destruction of Siberia and Chuvashia. The former Templar-turned-Ecologist Nikola Tesla fired at the Tunguska site with his wireless electric weapon in an effort to strike a blow against the Templars, Assassins, and Ecologists, appearing to shatter the Imperial Sceptre, one of the Staves of Eden. Both Hector of Bogota and Ivan of Chuvashia were siblings, and coincidentally, they were related to Disney's Encanto and 20th Century Studios' Anastasia and to the early 1910s.
In real life and on Earth responsibly, Anastasia died with the rest of her family and her husband Dimitri on July 17, 1918. She had no descendants, and her death was the most tragically famous in the universe, because all species of Chameleos on Earth were wiped out by Bolsheviks and North Koreans, as well as Japanese-made everlasting. From February 1918 to April 1920, it infected 1 billion people—about a third of the world's population at the time—in four successive waves of Spanish Flu and World War Two, from the rise of Adolf Hitler against all and all animals to genocide.
The death toll is typically estimated to have been somewhere between 20 million and 50 million, although estimates range from a conservative 17 million to a possible high of 100 million, making it one of the worst and deadliest tragedies in human and geographical history, as recorded by Aos Si. At the age of three, Lyudmila promised her she would have two years for the Princess and the Plebiscite to prevent human extinction for future generations. Currently, Chameleos have become extinct on Earth, according to Zmey Gorynych, and there are no facts for alternative fiction other than real-life events, according to Eostre. However, in Avalon and resurrected in de-extinction at Reinachos by elves and goblins.
Alias Chameleos, or in real-life Chuvash Dragon from Monster Hunter, the incredible ability to camouflage in Chuvashia Republic is widespread worldwide, ranging from tropical to subtropical environments. Breaths scattered fogs to never contact you, but you were ambushed by attacks and even killed by those who tried to destroy the royal family's life as a legacy. The main roleplay for Princess Anastasia and Dimitri (before married as Romanov Restoration) gets avoided from their tragedy, romance, and Holocene extinction called the Russian Revolution due to Horned King Grigori Rasputin.
One of the Invasive characters in the series after Kushala Daora and Velkhana are in the Titanic incident, while Wind Serpent Ibushi and Thunder Serpent Narwa are in the Greco-Buddhism era (some are Rathalos, Rathian, Beotodus, Lao Shan Lung, Giadrome, Bishaten, and Cephadrome) after Empress Anastasia and Lyudmila Pavlichenko in the Monster Hunter series. The alliance of the Weather Dragons Association for Joszef, Dorottya, Bartal, Daniel, Generosity, Leonardo, Arleigh, Penta, Emmanuel, Francisca, and others like Empress Sisi, Napoleon Bonaparte, Simon Bolivar, Manuela Saenz, Pedro Gutierrez de Valdivia, Ines Suarez, Felipe Lautaro, Alexander the Great, Lyudmila Pavlichenko, Mihai I for Eostre, and the rest of the world for Aos Si. These Chameleos evolved into a Verechelen, the serpentine Elder Dragon with angelic wings and a very long horn on their nose with very bright colors, which is more poisonous and instantly kills Zmey Gorynych.
Before Natasha Romanoff discovered her records concerning Chameleos's last remaining being the reason for its extinction and because of Grigori Rasputin, the Avengers frequently mentioned that Chameleos only existed in myths and tales. Nilan Punzalan and Estrella Soletoile blamed Daniel Cross for not only himself but also his grandfather, who was the descendant of Cain. He reveals that his grandfather abandoned Anastasia Romanov and Anna Anderson, both murdered by Bolsheviks, as well as the Chameleos in Eastern Europe that have become locally extinct for the New World Order made by Order of Assassins in Russian Federation. After Cross's death, Nilan and Estrella shouted the names of historical and fictional characters, as well as extinct species, towards the sky for justice served until Joszef Horvath and his allies used drift portals. Because Nilan and his allies didn't use these drift portals back to the past, rather than used Animus by Lucy Stillman and her family.
There are many mentions from the Avengers that Chameleos doesn't exist in myths and legends, until Natasha Romanoff found her records about Chameleos's last remaining, causing the extinction, and because of Grigori Rasputin.
The Recollections of Queen Arianna events
Alias Chameleos from the Monster Hunter universe is a member of the Invasive Characters like others. Located in Reinachos, Earth originates from Avalon. Chuvashia is the only stronghold for Chameleos, where this dragon is. Introduced in Worldcraft: Fairytale's Ending and Weather Dragons: Last Special Heritage for Romanovs. According to Queen Arianna, the mother of Rapunzel, Isabella, and Nicolette, as well as adopted Levitico and Joringel, this animal was born as assassins and tricksters, which didn't happen before the Assassin Brotherhood and Templar Knights fought against Conservationist Hunters, the third and last known warriors of protection. Chameleos was created by gods and goddesses; that's why this animal was imported into the Monster Hunter and Marvel Universe. Chameleos was used by the citizens of Corona Kingdom and Dark Kingdom as the third emblem, and only purple and white clipart of this species. Created by Eostre.
Belle manages to stand up against Isabella and Arianna at certain points. Varian is devastated that he no longer knows how to save his father and mother from Rothbart anymore, so he lashes out his anger at Isabella by controlling a giant robot, bent on still having revenge on Isabella and Lancelot. He grabs Camilo and Archie in the robot's metal hands and sadistically taunts her about his former crush on her, transforming the right hand into a sharp sword.
When Queen Arianna orders him to stop, he grabs her too and starts to crush them both. Lancelot saves both. Varian violently charges toward Isabella in enraged mode in anger, only to get his robot halved and cracked by the Chameleos, an Elder Dragon of Russia. The Romanovs are enough to fight each other. Rekoppy bites one of the wires and destroys it. Rekoppy sacrificed his life to Varian’s automaton’s explosion. Isabella and Varian sacrificed both lives to each other with small claymores, saving the rest of their lives, causing them to be gifted with magic, and ceased war. Immediately after both deaths, Belle does fear everywhere and is exposed by Marissa Villaroel and Lorenzo Villaroel to arrest her in Nueva Dunedin International City Jail as a case of treason, along with Camilo Madrigal and Varian Debussie.
Under Princess Belle from removing the penances with Camilo, Rapunzel and Varian with Kevin; the Germans, Dutch people, Flemings, Swiss people, Danes, Belgians, Italians, Russians, Papuans, Aeta, Javanese people, Pygmies, Middle-earth Elves, Hungarians, Ilocanos, French people, Spaniards, Monegasques, Romanis, Swedes, Scottish People, Cornish People, Galicians, American People, Welsh People, Hungarians, Azerbaijanis, Frisians, Romanis, Maltese people, Tainos, Black Americans, Jamaicans, Hondurans, Tamils and Indonesians join forces with animals and monsters to fight for prevention of evil magic in the deep glowing forests, the Birthjections and Bhonsalthes rose up from insurrection and join Dominic’s side. Rapunzel, Isabella, Archie, Belle, Jorinda, and others used Chameleos to kill Rothbart Illicha as Mothman, which resulted in the destruction of Hybornia and the greenhouse effect. Joringel Morrison, Isabella's adopted brother, then used Chameleos to kill Rothbart Illicha and restore the ozone layer, as well as fairytales and modern cultural traditions. Most likely, chameleos are an endangered species.
Morganna and her allies are kidnapped by Camilo Madrigal and Varian the Alchemist, including Princess Tiana and Prince Naveen, to be executed without notice. The Ugungqu-kubantwana are attacked by Gowrow with Mishipeshu, while Vergil and Maximo with Rudolfo and Bloom, along with Javanese people, Cebuanos, Hungarians, Romanis, Flemings, Swiss people, Danes, Belgians, Italians, Russians, Papuans, and Indonesians drove witches, and King Dominic, Queen Olivia, Mina, and others attacked all witches in Hordan and Hybornia. Morganna was killed by Bretxion using android strength as a sign of moving to Dominic’s side, and Bretxion was crushed to death by Usilosimapundu's foot as bad karma.
Glenda Chonslar was dueling in battle with Mina for the fight; she was knocked out by Flint on his fist. Clementelle Courageux, grandmother of Derek, was now on Dominic’s side due to a meeting with him, and he needs justice against Rothbart. She knows that Amethista was killed by Rothbart’s black Snallygaster as a sign of vengeance. Clementelle and Dominic were dueling Rothbart before he left for Mount Anastacio of Fharewalovia. The gang celebrates their victory and Lancelot and Isabella’s birthday, as well as Joringel's heroic matters from Rothbart and named Hector.
This Elder Dragon was an alliance of Isabella Morrison and Archie Buenaventura, later formed by Princess Belle to protect Princess Odette and her friends from Rothbart, and his daughter Odile brought Hybornia's confirmed plagues. This Elder Dragon was confirmed by friars to be the protector of the Romanov family (descendants of Princess Anastasia and Prince Dimitri) in the future of Earth, always guarding Zabava and Dobrynya as assets. Even the Twelve Princesses of Loniarabap and Ferasothar arrived on planet Reinachos for Berbania, Jotunheim, Sawintir, and Earth.
