Storyline

Concept art of Khameleon in Trilogy

Khameleon's biography and endings screens in Mortal Kombat Troligy describe her as the last female of her race, as Reptile is the last male.^[1] They reveal that her race, the Saurians, or Raptors, were originally from Earthrealm, but a great war drove some of them out of that realm and killed the rest.^[2] Raiden mentions this in the introduction FMV to the home versions of Mortal Kombat 4 and also Mortal Kombat Gold, though not by name.^[3][4] Image File history File links Khameleon. ...

They found a new home in another realm, which they called Zaterra or "New Earth." However, Shao Kahn eventually found it, drove the Raptors to near extinction, and then merged Zaterra with Outworld. It is thought that he forced those remaining into slavery.^[2] It is unknown if Reptile survived or was even born yet. Khameleon was hidden away at the time. In the Mortal Kombat universe, Zaterra is a realm occupied by the Saurian race (also known as Raptors). ... Shao Kahn is a boss and recurring playable character from the Mortal Kombat fighting game series. ...

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, although 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 the emperor. The two of them then return to Zaterra to repopulate their race.^[2] Much of her backstory has held to be true in games like Mortal Kombat: Deception. However, since Reptile only continues his descent into madness and despair in Mortal Kombat 4/Gold, this second part can be assumed to have never occurred. Mortal Kombat: Deception is the latest game in the controversial and bloody Mortal Kombat video game series by Midway. ...

In Mortal Kombat: Armageddon, her ending states that after absorbing Blaze's power, Khameleon turned Shao Kahn and his allies into Raptors. However, she lost control of her new found power and mistakenly mutated the Forces of Light as well, having an army of powerful Raptor warriors at her command. Zaterra was now reborn.^[5] Blaze is a fictional character in the Mortal Kombat fighting game series. ...

Appearance

Khameleon first appeared as a grey palette swapped female ninja in Trilogy. During gameplay, she flickers in and out of full and partial invisibility. She does not wear anything other than her usual shade of gray when fighting herself; rather, one of the Khameleons will have a darker skin tone (identical to Jade's). In Armageddon, she wears clothes that is similar to the classic female ninja attire in Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 and Trilogy, and the color of her clothes also change in the same manner as Chameleon. She is now shown to wear turquoise by default, although she is also able to turn grey in the color of her outfit.^[6] Her skin is also changed to a clear white similar to Chameleon's.^[6] A red Koopa Troopa from Super Mario Bros. ...

Character development

Khameleon was a secret character in Trilogy and was playable by activation of a secret code. In the first surfaces of Armageddon, she (along with Chameleon, Motaro and many other minor characters) was hoped to appear in the game as none of them had yet been confirmed. In the September 2006 issue of Official Xbox Magazine, an article about Mortal Kombat: Armageddon mentioned that Khameleon would appear in 3D for the first time. However, in an interview with Midway producer Shaun Himmerick at the Games Convention in August 2006, he said that she does not appear in Armageddon.^[7] Later, Cinder, an administrator at the Midway Forums, posted that she would not appear in Armageddon for the PlayStation 2 and Xbox consoles. The Wii version of the game, which would be released at a later date, was not mentioned. This appeared to leave the possibility that she could appear in that version. However, Cinder later removed the console references from his post, thus seeming to imply that she wouldn't be in any version. Later, Cinder specified that she would not appear in the Wii version either,^[7] making her the only main character in the franchise who was not included in Armageddon.^[6] Midway later stated that they had wished to include her, but time constraints prevented them from doing so.^[8] As a result of a great number of complaints from the fans,^[6] Ed Boon and Shaun Himmerick finally confirmed that Khameleon would be a playable character in the Wii version at the 2007 Winter Gamers Day event.^[9] Motaro is a character in the Mortal Kombat fighting game series. ...

Game information

In Trilogy, her ability to turn somewhat partly invisible made her quite hard to see, even for the player controlling her. She had no moves or fatalities of her own; rather, her name in her life bar changed color, determining whether her moves are Jade's (green), Mileena's (purple), or Kitana's (blue). Since the lifebar is blue, this made her name quite hard to see most of the time. She technically had access to all of the three ninjas' moves and fatalities, though the timing is quite difficult. She may be fought in a one-player battle in a manner similar to Smoke's appearance in Mortal Kombat II. First, a battle must be fought on "The Star Bridge" (a level exclusive to the Nintendo 64 version of Mortal Kombat Trilogy). Then, when Dan Forden appears to say "Toasty!", if the player presses Down and Start together, that player will be taken to the "Living Forest" level to fight Khameleon. She also can be fought by enabling the secret endurance ladders. If done, Khameleon will appear towards the bottom of the highest-level ladder, still fighting in the Living Forest arena.

Reptile's trading card in Deception, referencing Khameleon

Prior to her return as a playable character in Armageddon, Khameleon was referenced in next-gen MK games. In Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance, upon failing an objective for one of Nitara's Konquest mode chapters, the failure message reads: "You must successfully learn the Kama. Khameleon would have mastered it with ease had her culture not been clubbed by Shao Kahn ages ago." (A reference to the 80's song Karma Chameleon by the group Culture Club).^[10] In Mortal Kombat: Deception, she is listed in Reptile's Character Card as one of his allies, acknowledging their ties together.

In Reptile's ending story in Mortal Kombat: Armageddon, he discovers a female Zaterran inside a sarcophagus. When the female awoke, Reptile was restored to his original humanoid form, and soon their race would prosper again.^[11] This unnamed character was initially thought to be a reference to Khameleon, but in an online chat event held in November 2006, John Vogel stated that she is most likely a new, unrelated character.^[8]
