Chameleon

Chameleons were lizards famous for their ability to change their skin color to match their surroundings.

Reputation
The elven trickster god Erevan Ilesere went by the title "The Chameleon".

The color-changing power of the chameleon inspired the name of certain magical items, for example, the rings of chameleon power said to be worn by Akim al-Kalaas, leader of the Unclean; Nabilanasa, a famed elven ranger of the Zakharan desert; and even avatars of the goddess Eilistraee.

Despite the name, chameleon leather, a color-changing armor, was crafted from ophidians, not chameleons.

Uses
In Maztica, the skin of a chameleon was required for the proper casting of the disguise spell.
