Khameleon is a character in the Mortal Kombat fighting game series.About KhameleonShe has only appeared in Mortal Kombat Trilogy for the Nintendo 64. The PC, PlayStation, and Sega Saturn versions instead had Chameleon, a similar but male character. Khameleon is a palette swapped female ninja in Mortal Kombat Trilogy. She wears gray, but otherwise is physically identical to Kitana, Mileena, and Jade. She flickers in and out of full and partial invisibility whenever she appears, making her quite hard to see, even for the player controlling her. She has no moves or fatalities of her own; rather, her name in her life bar changes colors fairly rapidly. The color determines whether her moves are Jade's (green), Mileena's (purple), or Kitana's (blue). Since the lifebar is red and blue, this makes her name quite hard to see most of the time. She technically has access to all of the three ninjas' moves and fatalities, though the timing is quite difficult. She even copies combos, thus making it appear that she can pull their weapons out of thin air.StorylineUnlike Chameleon, Khameleon has a storyline. For many, this makes up for her weak gameplay performance. Though the outcome given in her game ending has been disproven by later games, much of the backstory has held to be true in games like , which applied some of it to Reptile.Khameleon's bio describes her as the last female of her race, as Reptile is the last male. It reveals that her race, the Saurians, or Raptors, were originally from Earth, but a great war drove some of them out of that realm and killed the rest (Raiden seems to mention this in the introduction to Mortal Kombat Gold, though not by name).

They found a new home in another realm, which they called Zaterra, for "New Earth." However, Shao Kahn eventually found it, and drove the Raptors to extinction and merged Zaterra with Outworld. He kept only one alive – Reptile. Khameleon was hidden away at the time. In the second part of her ending, it is stated that she spent an indefinite amount of time trying to find Reptile in an attempt to restore their race; however, he remained unaware of her, focusing on serving Shao Kahn. Khameleon finally catches up to Reptile, and tells him the truth of how Kahn was responsible for the extinction of their race. She then assists him as he turns against and kills Shao Kahn. The two of them then return to Zaterra to repopulate their race. Since Reptile only continues his descent into madness and despair in Mortal Kombat 4/Gold, this second part, at least, can be assumed to have never occurred, or at least not yet. It is unknown at the current time if Khameleon will return in , but possible, since Meat has been hinted at making an appearance in the game (and many consider him a more minor character than Khameleon as he had no story), and Armageddon plans to have almost every past Mortal Kombat character that has ever thrown a punch. Amongst the lesser known MK characters, there is a considerable fan demand for her return (recent footage of the game in production shows a fan-created female character bearing reptilian characteristics, for example).
