“It is I, the Cham-ah-lee-on! Oh, drat! I mean, the Chameleon!”
—The Chameleon, Doom-mates
The Chameleon is one of the three main antagonists of T.U.F.F. Puppy (alongside Snaptrap and Bird Brain) who is a hitman and was hired by Verminious Snaptrap to get revenge on Kitty for putting him in jail (reasons unknown). He can disguise himself as any person or object using his transformation suit.
Abilities[]
Like the Spider-Man villain he shares his name with, the Chameleon is a master of disguise, and like Zartan from the G.I. Joe comics and movies, he has the power to shape-shift because he possesses a Molecular Transformation Suit that allows him to shape-shift. However, his power isn't what freaks his enemies out. It's the fact that his eyes never stay in the same place twice. His voice is a parody of Hungarian-born actor Peter Lorre. He has the ability to change his color to blend into his surroundings at will, much like most chameleons, making him invisible. The Chameleon has a constant attention of making friends with anyone, being always rejected and left alone.
The Chameleon also has reptilian abilities, he can stick to and climb walls like a Gecko, and he can also use his long tongue as a weapon, to grab objects or trap people.
Personality[]
In his initial debut, Keswick described The Chameleon as a criminal genius and master of disguise. He was shown to be vengeful, bitter, intelligent, vain, crafty, malicious, and overall a lot more of a threat then Snaptrap or any other villain introduced up until that point. He was even shown to be able to go toe-to-toe with Kitty Katswell, one of T.U.F.F.s' most competent field agent.

The Chameleon is diabolic...
Despite being a villain, he's pretty friendly if not a bit eccentric. When he's around other people, he considers or is hoping to be his friend he's usually over joyed to have the company and tries his best to accommodate them. Even to his enemies, he's pretty friendly at times as he willing let Dudley go and gave him a juice box when he noticed Dudley was crying in Sob Story and felt genuinely betrayed when he found out Dudley was lying. He's possibly the most optimistic villain on the show, choosing to always look on the brighter side of a poor situation or crime gone bad and is mostly law abiding until he feels like he's been wronged in someway and will go for revenge.

...but, is also very lonely
He is also portrayed as very lonely as his only reason for wanting revenge on D.O.O.M. in Share-A-Lair is that they neglected to invite him to their ice cream social, In Dead or a Lie, his only motivation to break out of jail was to hang out with Snaptrap and Bird Brain, in Happy Howl-O-Ween, when he had the entire city ready to meet his demands, all he wanted was 10 thousand friend on face-beak and in a A Doomed Christmas he was eccentric to spend Christmas with the other criminals in jail or not. He is shown to constantly trying to gain the friendship of fellow villains, namely Bird Brain and Snaptrap, but it never works out for him as both Bird Brain and Snaptrap have admitted that they think the chameleon is a loser and usually keep him out of activities that aren't related to any scheme. It was also reveled in Dead or a Lie That the cops and T.U.F.F. agents usually forget to confiscate his suit and that he could just brake out whenever he wanted but simply doesn't because it usually the only way the other criminals will hang out with him, as all he really wants is a friend.

Remind you of anyone?
Appearance[]
The Chameleon is a tall, and lanky chameleon with bright green with grayish-green lips. His eyes are yellow with red irises. His face has green dots. He wears the Molecular Transformation Suit which is black with green circuits. He's one of the taller character's on the show, and seems to be about Kitty's height (if not a bit shorter) but is taller than Dudley.
Relationships with Other Characters (Alphabetically)[]
Bird Brain[]
The Chameleon has worked with Bird Brain on several occasions. He seems to get along with him better than he does with Snaptrap, though Bird Brain has been shown to get annoyed by The Chameleons constant attempts at making friends with him and bluntly said he considered The Chameleon a loser in Dead or a Lie.
Camille (sister)[]
The Chameleon has only once spoken about his sister, who apparently turned into a blender to avoid talking to him. This isn't yet proven since it's not truly known if she actually turned into a blender or just ran away from his obsessive talking, but either way it can be assumed that their relationship wasn't the best.
Charmaine (girlfriend)[]
According to the only episode she appears in Time Waits for No Mutt, she is only in it for his money and doesn't seem to actually care for him or his well being.
Dudley Puppy[]

Kitty Katswell[]
Being the one who originally threw him in jail for the first time, The Chameleon despises Kitty. As such, she was the first person he went after as soon as he was released from prison in Doom-mates, and nearly defeated her had it not been for Dudley. After that episode, he seems to target T.U.F.F. in general. However, the two of them are shown to have a sort of rivalry with each other, as he can be seen taunting her during some of their encounters. Though, he may have seemingly gotten over the grudge against her or simply forgotten as he seemed willing to befriend Kitty in Guard Dog.
Verminious Snaptrap[]
The Chameleon doesn't always get along with Snaptrap, but is often just as happy to have his (or any) company. In Mission: Really Big Mission, he does everything to try to help Snaptrap, but Snaptrap just uses The Chameleon for his own needs. Snaptrap even said in A Doomed Christmas that he thinks The Chameleon is a loser. He seems to get annoyed at his attempts to make friends and even told him that he needs to find some self esteem in Happy Howl-O-Ween, implying that he finds The Chameleon's lack of self confidence sad and pitiful, and then blatantly told him that they're not friends and only invited The Chameleon so he could pay for gas, which he happily does. Snaptrap also had no issue with trying to put an end to The Chameleon when he came fourth as a witness to one of Snaptrap's crime in Guard Dog, but just as well The Chameleon had no issue with having an innocent Snaptrap locked up, just to get rid of his criminal competition, and in Share-A-Lair had no issue with risking Snaptrap and his fellow members at D.O.O.M. life's to get revenge at T.U.F.F.
