A colorful person with the head and tail of a chameleon.

Chameleon men are animal people variants of the common chameleon who can be found in savage tropical and desert regions, spawning in groups of 1-5 individuals, and are generally content to keep to themselves. In terms of size, they are a little over half the weight of the average dwarf.

Like other savage animal people, they can join civilizations, become historical figures, appear as visitors and be playable in adventurer mode.

Some dwarves like chameleon men for their ability to change color and their eyes.

Can blend into any environment.
