| '''Chameleon''' is an adult male [[RainWings|RainWing]], who was introduced in ''[[Escaping Peril]]''. Because of a snout deformity that prevented him from sleeping for more than one hour at a time, Chameleon was unable to change the color of his scales and was fixed with a plain lime green color. Many of the other RainWings viewed Chameleon as strange and unsettling, and he was eventually banished from the Rainforest Kingdom.
| |
|
| |
|
| Sometime after his banishment, Chameleon found [[Darkstalker's Scroll|Darkstalker's scroll]] and after learning how to read and write, he figured out how the talisman worked. Using the scroll's magic, Chameleon created new physical forms: Bog the [[MudWings|MudWing]], Cirrus the [[IceWings|IceWing]], Shapeshifter the [[NightWings|NightWing]], and Soar the [[SkyWings|SkyWing]]. He possesses a different shape for almost each dragon species of Pyrrhia.{{Ref|EP|208}}
| |
|
| |
| <nowiki> </nowiki>After the events of ''Escaping Peril'', Chameleon no longer owns Darkstalker's Scroll, although he still possesses the scraps of parchment that allow him to transform into his other forms. His current location is unknown.
| |
|
| |
| == Appearance ==
| |
| His scales are "the color of limes and jungle parakeets, a sort of nondescript yellowish-green", and he is also noted to have narrow shoulders.{{Ref|EP|152}} His scales cannot change colors as normal RainWing scales can. This is sometimes attributed to his inability to sleep for long periods of time, or vice versa. He is also mentioned by [[Bullfrog]], a RainWing healer, that he had a snout deformity, causing his sleeping to halt after an hour or less.

| |content = At an unknown point in time before the series, Chameleon was banished from the Rainforest Kingdom because of his inability to change the color of his scales, which made the other RainWings 'uncomfortable'. This was because of a snout deformity that stopped him from sleeping for more than an hour. The lack of sleep made it so that he couldn't change the color of his scales, and had also affected his personality. This lead to many of the RainWings thinking he was creepy, different, and weird. Sometime after that, he found Darkstalker's Scroll and got someone to teach him to read. By reading some of what was written on the scroll, Chameleon figured out what it could do and then learned how to write. Using the scroll, Chameleon created many shapes for himself, including Soar the SkyWing. He moved into the [[Sky Kingdom]] and helped Queen Scarlet spy on the [[Talons of Peace]] as Cirrus. While he served Scarlet, he made a [[Pyrite]] mask to hide [[Prince Hailstorm]] for Scarlet. As a SkyWing, he fathered Peril and her twin with Kestrel in the breeding program, but Scarlet told him that both of his dragonets were dead, and so Chameleon didn't know that Peril was his daughter until the eighth book, ''[[Escaping Peril]]''.

A RainWing who couldn't sleep because of a snout deformity or change their scale color was mentioned by one of the RainWing healers when Winter was visiting Glory. He was also said to have watched other RainWings in their sleep. This was the description of Chameleon.
| |
|
| |
| In his IceWing form of Cirrus, Chameleon appeared in the Talons of Peace camp when the dragonets were looking for a SkyWing. He seemed to be possessive of Pyrite, most likely because he was guarding her for Queen Scarlet.
| |
|
| |
| Wearing his NightWing mask (Shapeshifter), Chameleon was overheard by [[Moonwatcher]], [[Ex-Prince Winter|Winter]], and [[Qibli]] talking to Scarlet. He later went to the dragonets' camp to retrieve Pyrite and attacked [[Kinkajou]], smashing her into a tree and leaving her in a coma. It is mentioned in Escaping Peril that he did this because of his grudge against the RainWings. He failed to capture Pyrite (Hailstorm) and leaves with his eyes burned and frozen by Moon and Winter, although it healed when he changed 'faces'.

When [[Avalanche]] mentioned Kestrel in a speech she gave about how she wanted to kill Peril when she was a dragonet, Cirrus asked questions about Kestrel and found out that Peril was Kestrel's daughter.
| |
|
| |
| Later Turtle saw a dragon, most likely Chameleon, diving into the forest behind him and Peril. The next morning, Turtle found talonprints that didn't belong to him or Peril beside their sleeping spot. They likely belonged to Chameleon. When Peril and Turtle flew away, Peril spotted Chameleon in his NightWing form staring at her.
| |
|
| |
| As Peril perched on the sandstone formation outside of [[Possibility]], a large SkyWing came flying towards her but was distracted by Winter and [[Hope (Foeslayer)|Foeslayer's]] arrival. After Winter and Peril's fight, Peril flew away from the scene, and the SkyWing started flying with her. He told her his name was Soar and then revealed that he was her father. They were joined by ex-Queen Scarlet, and the SkyWing informed Peril that he was, in fact, a RainWing named Chameleon. He offered her a gift of a strange necklace that he claimed would cancel the effects of her firescales. Peril accepted the gift, but unknown to her, it was also rigged with a loyalty enchantment to Scarlet, and it made her forget Clay.

They blamed Chameleon for always messing with royal politics and hurting Kinkajou. Chameleon claimed that he met Vulture in Possibility and couldn't possibly say no to treasure. Chameleon stopped the fight by threatening to bite off the scavenger's head and then Qibli and Winter let him leave knowing that if they followed him, he would lead them straight to Vulture.

Qibli convinced Chameleon to put on the enchanted earring, saying it was an apology gift from Peril, turning him back to a RainWing while Kinkajou stole all his remaining pieces of Darkstalker's scroll. After that, Chameleon most likely fled back to the Rainforest and his whereabouts are unknown.

|
| |
| == Trivia ==
| |
| *Chameleon's name is very ironic as an actual chameleon can change the color of its scales, but Chameleon, the dragon, cannot.
| |
| *Chameleon is the first major RainWing antagonist to appear in the series, though the [[Dragon Queens#RainWings|ex-queens]] served as minor antagonists in ''[[The Hidden Kingdom (Book)|The Hidden Kingdom]]''.
| |
| *Whenever he changes into a different form, it "resets"; i.e. when he puts on the Soar mask, all traces of previous battles or other activities from when he was previously Soar would disappear. This would be consistent with Peril's noticing he had no scars.
| |
| *In ''Escaping Peril'', he said he has a form for every tribe, but the SeaWing and the SandWing forms have never appeared.
| |
| *Tui hinted on the Scholastic forum that she may bring back Chameleon in ''Darkness of Dragons'', which has shown to be true.
| |
| *He is also the first RainWing besides [[Queen Glory|Glory]] to know how to read and spell but he does not reveal who taught him how to read.
| |
| **Kinkajou is mentioned in the last chapter of ''Darkness of Dragons'' to have been "the first RainWing in a century to learn to write". However, both Chameleon and Glory can read and write. Thus, Kinkajou would not be the first RainWing in a century to learn to write, Chameleon would. This is most likely an error in the series, or perhaps Qibli's knowledge as to what RainWings could write.
| |
| ***However, he also notices the "dark jagged scrawl of Peril's father's handwriting", thus indicating he knew what Chameleon's handwriting looked like. If anything, this is most likely either a plot hole or an error in the series.
| |
| *He is shown to be practically obsessed with treasure.
| |
| * He is technically the first RainWing to join the Talons of Peace.
| |
| *Tui has stated that a RainWing's base color is lime, like Chameleon's.
| |
| *It is possible that he made a RainWing form that ''could'' change scales, but that is not confirmed.

| '''Bog''' is a male [[MudWings|MudWing]], and one of the forms of Chameleon, who appears in ''[[Darkness of Dragons]]''. He worked alongside the [[Talons of Power (Organization)|Talons of Power]] and [[Vulture]] as a false hostage, lying about how the MudWings were attacking the oases. [[Qibli]] thought he looked suspicious and ridiculous in all his jewelry, which Vulture gave him for spreading his "story."
| |
|
| |
| ==Appearance==
| |
| Bog has mud-brown scales and wears several accessories: a gold tail band shaped to look like dragon claws clutching every inch of his tail, each claw tipped with a sapphire; silver chain mail studded with sapphires on his chest; golden silk veils wreathing his wings; giant bejeweled rings; and gold chain necklaces dangling from a ruby-encrusted headpiece that clashes with the silver, emerald, and topaz earrings in each ear. Qibli thought it was strange that he wore a tail band, as they went out of style because they made it harder for dragons to fly. He also wears a brown leather pouch neatly tucked under his wing where he keeps his pieces of [[Darkstalker's Talisman]], the same pieces that were later used to transform [[King Darkstalker|Darkstalker]] into [[King Darkstalker|Peacemaker]], the [[NightWings|NightWing]]-[[RainWings|RainWing]] hybrid. It took Qibli "a minute to find out what tribe he was from". After seeing Bog, [[Winter]] looked like "his eyes might never recover," implying that the large amount of jewelry on him didn't look very stylish.

| |content = Bog/Chameleon first appeared as a false hostage in Vulture's lair, attempting to throw Qibli and Winter off of the recent explosions in the [[Scorpion Den]], saying that the MudWings led by [[Queen Moorhen]] were causing the explosions, but, according to Qibli, it was easy to tell that he was lying about the whole thing.
| |
|
| |
| Later, when Qibli and Winter (along with Cobra and Ostrich who were elsewhere at the time) were trying to escape Vulture's compound, they ran into him as Winter was attempting to free Vulture's scavenger prisoners. He asked what they were doing and recognized them from his time as Shapeshifter. Qibli and Winter tried to fight him, but he threatened to kill the scavenger if they didn't let him go. Winter did not continue fighting after that. Qibli and Winter then managed to get back to Cobra and Ostrich.
| |
|
| |
| Bog later appeared in the [[Night Kingdom]], and [[Kinkajou]], who was investigating the area, started to "stealthily" follow him. Bog walked into a room and closed the door, later coming out as Chameleon's superpowered NightWing form, Shapeshifter. Kinkajou relayed this information to Qibli, who quickly realized that the two dragons were Chameleon, and most likely arrived with Vulture. Qibli and Kinkajou devised a plan to steal Chameleon's pieces of Darkstalker's Talisman. Qibli walked up and acted as a distraction, while Kinkajou grabbed Chameleon's earring, which had the pieces of talisman in it. Chameleon was quickly told off by Kinkajou and Qibli, and most likely returned to the [[Rainforest Kingdom]]. The pieces of the scroll were then used to give Darkstalker a new life as Peacemaker.

| ==Trivia==
| |
| *In ''Escaping Peril'', Chameleon commented on wanting a MudWing form to avoid persecution. This is shown to come true in ''Darkness of Dragons'', where he assumes the form of Bog while working with Vulture.

Chameleon chose to join the Talons of Peace wearing an IceWing mask when he infiltrated them because of how few IceWings joined, therefore no one would find out he knew nothing about the Ice Kingdom. [[Prince Hailstorm/Pyrite|Pyrite]]'s insistence of staying with him every moment is most likely part of the enchantment that Chameleon placed on the mask, so as to keep an eye on her or possibly to keep [[Prince Hailstorm]]'s repressed IceWing instincts from kicking in. He first appears in the prologue of ''[[The Lost Heir]]'' and might be briefly seen at a camp in ''[[The Brightest Night]]''. Cirrus also appears in ''[[Winter Turning]]'' and ''[[Escaping Peril]]''.

A hint of darker purple contrasts the silver scales as it runs along his thorny spikes and is a light purple but darker purple on his horns and it stretches on the broad top of his head, and tints lightly against his claws and tail spike. He is quite a bit bigger than [[Ex-Prince Winter|Winter]] and fiercely thin with unusually sharp claws even for an IceWing. He also has a voice that sounds like icicles dripping.

Cirrus asks why they had anything to do with the SkyWings, and Webs simply said that they followed [[Princess Tsunami|Tsunami]] and [[Clay]] back to the opening of the cave. Cirrus was enraged because he knew they wouldn't be able to survive ex-Queen Scarlet's arena. When Webs suggested that the Talons attack the SkyWings, Cirrus hinted that there are only about forty members of the Talons of Peace, while there were countless SkyWings. Nautilus mentioned his backup plan and said that Webs would be a problem, in which Cirrus pinned him down, stating that Webs had failed them. He was instructed to kill Webs because of the SeaWing's lack of knowledge of the Talons of Peace's backup plan and allowing the dragonets to escape, and he also seemed to take morbid pleasure in the idea of killing the confused [[SeaWings|SeaWing]], stating that he would feed Webs' heart to the fish. However, both he and Nautilus were thwarted and knocked out when [[Crocodile]] tackled them, which allowed Webs to escape the execution attempt.

Upon their arrival, they found a dragon named Pyrite, a nervous and twitchy SkyWing who sported a nose ring, but Cirrus did not want them to take her. Winter pondered about it and thought maybe because she was an 'animus' he wanted to put the magical genetics back into the IceWing bloodline, but forgot the idea when he noted that Cirrus showed no sign of returning to the Ice Kingdom. Winter was confused because being royalty, he should have recognized Cirrus, and vice-versa (which means Cirrus should've recognized Winter), but neither did. Winter asked if Cirrus knew his parents, [[Prince Narwhal|Narwhal]] and [[Tundra]], Cirrus said he might, but he was lying, as Chameleon said he had never been to the Ice Kingdom.

When Peril introduced herself as the daughter of [[Kestrel]], he said, "That can't be right. Kestrel never had any dragonets". He was questioned briefly for his knowledge about Kestrel, whom he couldn't have met since he joined the Talons after Kestrel went into hiding with the dragonets.
| |
|
| |
| He was later revealed as the IceWing form of Peril's father, Chameleon the RainWing, and working for ex-Queen Scarlet. He never knew she was his daughter before, as he was told by Scarlet that both of Kestrel's dragonets were dead and that Kestrel had gone to join the Talons of Peace, so he was elated when he learned Peril was alive and well.

| ==Personality==
| |
| Cirrus is shown to take an almost sadistic pleasure in killing others, appearing more than eager to kill Webs, and even explaining that he intended to rip Webs's heart out and "feed it to the fish". He is very obedient and docile towards Nautilus, and willingly follows his orders when he tells him to kill Webs. In ''Winter Turning'', he is shown to be mildly protective of Pyrite, and most likely doesn't want to let her out of his sight for fear of being executed by Queen Scarlet as Chameleon. He is a spy for Queen Scarlet in the Talons of Peace and seems not to care who is suspicious of him. Chameleon stated that he tried to make Cirrus seem cold and calculating, like a menacing character.

|
| |
| ==Trivia==
| |
| * Winter described him as acting like an aristocrat, but he could not possibly be one as he did not recognize Winter as the IceWing prince.
| |
| * Cirrus is the first IceWing described with purple scales. This may be a result of Chameleon's enchantment.
| |
| * Soar mentions Cirrus as his 'friend with the Talons of Peace,' when explaining to Peril how he found out about her.
| |
| * Cirrus is the only artificial form of Chameleon that doesn't wear accessories.

| '''Soar''' is a "mask", taking the form of a male [[SkyWings|SkyWing]], and one of the four known forms that Chameleon can become. When [[Ex-Queen Scarlet|Scarlet]] caught him shapeshifting, she gave him the choice to either tell her how he did it or work for her in exchange for treasure. He chose the second option, afraid that if he revealed the scroll he used, she would take it from him. He is the "father" of [[Peril]] and [[Sky]], and his former mate was [[Kestrel]]. Since Chameleon was in the form of Soar when he had Peril and Sky with Kestrel, Peril is fully SkyWing, and not any part [[RainWings|RainWing]]. This makes Peril and Sky half an artificial SkyWing.
| |
|
| |
| == Appearance ==
| |
| Soar is described as big{{Ref|EP|121}} with amber eyes{{Ref|EP|140}}, warm orange scales{{Ref|EP|140}}, rippling muscles, and huge powerful orange wings{{Ref|EP|187}}. He doesn't bear any scars, which is observed by Peril to be unusual for a dragon under Scarlet's reign (his forms, when switched, lose their injuries, and therefore he has no scars). He is said to be strong-looking and has a deeper, stronger voice than Chameleon. He has long horns with golden markings. He is adorned with gold rings on three of his claws, a black necklace with gold spikes studded on, and a snake-like armband with rubies where the snake's eyes would be. He also has a black metal sheath fit across his chest with a padlock, which was revealed to hold [[Darkstalker's Scroll]] scraps in them to shapeshift.

| |content = Chameleon's SkyWing shape first appeared in Escaping Peril. When Peril waited out by [[Possibility]] while [[Turtle]] and the rest of his group checked on the injured [[Kinkajou]]. Peril saw Soar flying to her from a distance, but he abruptly fled when he saw [[Ex-Prince Winter|Winter]] and [[Hope (Foeslayer)|Foeslayer]] arrived. After the fight with Winter, Peril ran away and ran into Soar. Soar confirmed to her that she was his daughter, and then lead Peril to ex-Queen Scarlet. Scarlet then ripped off his necklace holding the piece of Darkstalker's Scroll inside and he transformed back into his normal RainWing self.
| |
|
| |
| After Peril was brainwashed into obeying Scarlet, Chameleon used his Soar shape again so the three of them could get into [[Queen Ruby's Palace]] without any confusion. Soar, Scarlet, and Peril waited in the throne room for Ruby to arrive and spent the night there. After she came, Scarlet imprisoned her and ordered her son, [[Prince Cliff]], on the highest tower in the palace with Soar and Peril guarding them. There, Soar and Peril have an emotional conversation about themselves, and Soar lets her in on the secret about the scroll. After Cliff escaped, Peril and Soar flew after him. Soar witnesses the whole scene where Ruby escaped the prison, Peril takes off her necklace and was no longer brainwashed, and Ruby challenging Scarlet to the throne of the SkyWings.
| |
|
| |
| Chameleon stayed in his SkyWing shape for the entire [[Royal Challenges|Royal Challenge]]. He confessed to Peril after being threatened that Ruby was enchanted to be a weaker, least stronger SkyWing daughter than she originally was, and she couldn't win the fight. This fact saved Ruby's life and killed Queen Scarlet. After Scarlet's death, Soar gave up his scroll to Ruby and was imprisoned. He then transformed into Shapeshifter and stole it back.

| == Relationships ==
| |
| === [[Peril]] ===
| |
| Though Peril is his daughter, it is unknown if Soar actually holds any fatherly affection for her. Though Soar offered to take away Peril's firescales, he appeared to have only done this on Scarlet's orders and betrayed her by hiding a mind-affecting spell within the firescales spell. However, when he ran away, he asked Peril to come with him. In ''Darkness of Dragons'', while in his Shapeshifter form, he was furious with her for stealing his scroll but decides to accept an earring from [[Qibli]], who claims it is a making-up present from Peril.
| |
|
| |
| === [[Ex-Queen Scarlet]] ===
| |
| Soar, as Chameleon (and various other forms), worked as ex-Queen Scarlet's minion. He doesn't particularly like her, only the fact that she pays him well.
| |
|
| |
| === [[Kestrel]] ===
| |
| Kestrel was Soar's mate, and together, they had one egg that contained twin dragonets, one of which was later thought to be killed by Kestrel. He claimed he was not around when Kestrel tried to escape with their dragonets and had thought that Peril was dead. It is implied that Soar used his position under Scarlet to arrange for Kestrel to be his mate without her knowing.

| '''Shapeshifter''' is the male [[NightWings|NightWing]] "mask"/enchantment created by [[Chameleon]], first appearing in the ''[[Moon Rising]] ''epilogue. This form has scales strong enough to withstand frostbreath, as well as firescales, and the strength of ten [[dragons]]. He is said to be Chameleon's favorite form, probably because of his power and super strength. During this cameo, Chameleon, under the disguise of Shapeshifter, was in possession of [[Darkstalker's Scroll]], an [[Animus Dragons|animus]]-touched scroll. It was implied that he was working for — or at the very least providing some form of aid — to [[Ex-Queen Scarlet|ex-Queen Scarlet]], before her premature death in ''[[Escaping Peril]]''. Though his motives aren't immediately apparent, over the course of the second arc it is gradually revealed that he was performing enchantments for the former [[SkyWings|SkyWing]] [[Dragon Queens|queen]] for exuberant sums of treasure and the safety of his morphologic abilities. It is later revealed that he isn't a true NightWing, but one of the forms of Chameleon.

| |
| |content = During the prologue, the "[[Prince Hailstorm/Pyrite|Pyrite]]-mask" was put on [[Prince Hailstorm]], [[Ex-Prince Winter|Winter]]'s brother. The necklace was put on by a dragon who had previously been wearing it. This dragon may have been Shapeshifter (most likely) or one of the other masks.
| |
|
| |
| When [[Moonwatcher]], Winter, and [[Qibli]] were spying on them, Scarlet was heard yelling at him. He then flew off to grab Pyrite for her. The companion went to the group and immediately attacked [[Kinkajou]], throwing her into a tree, and injuring her badly. Moon attacked him in retaliation, breathing fire on his face. Then, Winter used his frostbreath, as well. Between Moon's fire and Winter's frost breath, he was blinded. During the fight, Winter noticed that he was wearing "a mess of dark jewelry", which felt like iron boxes on chains. This was because of Darkstalker's scroll.
| |
|
| |
| Later, after [[Mayfly]], a [[MudWings|MudWing]] doctor in [[Possibility]], examined Kinkajou, she asked what "really" happened. Moon told her that the [[RainWings|RainWing]] had been thrown into a tree by a dragon, to which Mayfly muttered, "With superdragon strength?" This showed he may have extraordinary power, perhaps wished upon himself by Darkstalker's talisman, which he possessed.

She found out later that he was actually Chameleon, the dragon the RainWing healers mentioned couldn't sleep (for more than an hour at a time) or change color, as well as being Peril's father. Chameleon could also become Soar the SkyWing and Cirrus the [[IceWings|IceWing]]. He was forced to give up the scroll at the end of the book to Peril and her friends while using his Shapeshifter morph.

| |
| * He is noted for being the dragon appearing in the epilogue of ''Moon Rising'', along with Ex-Queen Scarlet.
| |
| * Mayfly does not initially believe the Jade Winglet about him attacking Kinkajou, as Shapeshifter has supernatural strength. The only other dragons who have this strength were NightWings given enchantments by Darkstalker.
