Precious few sightings of this elder dragon have been recorded, leading to claims it can vanish into its environment like a chameleonー hence its name. Witnesses reportthat, when enraged, it can spew a fog-like breath, which seems to come out of nowhere, and enhance its strength by licking the pollen from Petalaces. |

Higher numbers indicate higher potential damage to the monster.
Chameleos have a meddlesome tendency to vanish suddenly, but by watching their attacks just before they do, you can somewhat predict where they'll reappear. Furthermore, there are eye-witness reports of a Chameleos not being able to vanish after its horn on the tip of its nose had been broken.

Chameleos inflicts Venom, a more potent version of poison. This can quickly deplete your health so do not forget to bring poison healing items like Antidotes and Herbal Medicines.
Each of the new Elder Dragon armors are designed to combat other Elder Dragons.
The Kaiser armor set from Teostra comes with the special skill Teostra Blessing which at level 3 prevents both Poison and Venom and at level 4 also negates theft.
▲ Chameleos is affected by Thunderblight so it glows while invisible.
Elemental Blights can now affect monsters and it is denoted by a faint glow around its body. Use this to your advantage as you can see Chameleos' silhouette better when affected by elemental blights!
Breaking Chameleos' horn deprives it of the ability to fully cloak itself. Focus on breaking this in the early stages of the hunt so you can fight Chameleos more efficiently.
Taking advantage of Chameleos' downed state after a body slam is a great way to sustain head damage.
Whenever you see yourself inside Chameleos' Poison Ring, Wiredash upwards and avoid the ring! Learn more about the different Wirebug moves you can do by clicking our button linked below!
Target Camera can help immensely in dealing with Chameleos' cloaking mechanic. Just take note of the following steps:
This gives you a split second to react against its incoming decloak attacks!
