Today we do have an interesting spin of things, as whilst I have preciously strictly focused on touching on a characters origins, today I will also be tapping Into why she’s been such an illusive character throughout the franchise, as chances are many of you have only ever heard of Khameleon In passing, yet you ever rarely see her or do possible haver her confused with her other Chameleon counterpart!
We’ll be analysing Khameleons own history throughout the series, her Impact on the overall greater narrative, and the somewhat exclusivity that has been tied to the character ever since her debut!

I just LOVE her design and abilities, i really wished they made her an actual fighter instead of a Kameo.
Well maybe if we asked netherealm nicely, she might be a dlc character
I'll say
I don’t mind Khameleon being a Kameo Fighter.
@@BlazerK1914Personally it's not that i hate Kameos, but there are so many characters who i would love to see updates to their stories, gameplay, interactions etc. In my ideal world certain characters would be on the main roster and all of them could be a kameo if selected as such.
@@anthonykolb8083It's obviously time to stop asking nicely and just kick their door down and command them to make a full game whether they want to or not. I'm fed up with these half assing companies wasting our money. I basically stopped playing video games in 2021 because of it
Khameleon design in Armageddon will always be her best look I hope she comes back as a playable character in the future I'm bummed she's just a Kameo in Mortal Kombat 1 but I'm glad she's no longer forgotten.
I'm so happy to see Khameleon again I would really love to see a interaction between Khameleon and reptile
It interesting with Khameleon being in the game that they choose to ship Syzoth with Ashrah instead of the other shape shifting member of his kind.
@@darryljack6612 I think it makes sense, as their relationship was based on both her and Syzoth being the last of her kind. That's not the case anymore so they don't have the responsability of... umm.. repopulate haha
@@darryljack6612they what
@@rayhayes7701 Syzoth/Reptile and Ashrah are a confirmed couple in the MK1 timeline
@@shadowslime3640 Didn’t see that coming
Khameleon could have formed a anti Shao Kahn alliance with Kitana, Sindel, Jade and Nitara from the original timeline lol.
But in the New Era Timeline Khameleon teams up with Kitana and Mileena and Tanya and possibly Jade as well. Scarlet she most definitely got similar powers to her as well.
I'd love to see this new take on Khamaleon as a fully playable character in the future
Like Sareena, it’s nice to see Khameleon to return in some way or another.
The implications from MK1’s story all but implies that she’s a member of the Umgadi (a Zaterran one at that).
It's cool to see Khameleon back in action
Yes it is and more Mk fans now see her too and that’s also cool too.
Yeah
John Tobias confirmed Chameleon with a C is a Saurian and from the same realm as Khameleon and Reptile it wasn't added to his story due to time constraints but it's obvious he's a Saurian.
Been really loving her design and it's so cool that these characters are now getting revamped!
i would like to see syzoth meet her in mk1. i dont want them to be romantically involved, because i personally am very happy with him being with ashrah. but i want to see him be excited about meeting someone like him. it could be interesting to see, especially if shes so disconnected from her heritage as you theorize, because it could be a lot of syzoth reintroducing her to what it means to be a zaterran and her realizing she didnt even know she wanted to meet someone who was like her until he appeared. i think they could be good friends, i would like to see them interact
They possibly wouldn’t be connected as she could have been rebooted as another edenian, Umgadi are priestesses which mean they have some sort of mystical abilities, hers could just be the shape shifting
@@jbrookflores nah tanya quite literally tells syzoth that he should meet khameleon after he asks if zaterrans can be umgadi
@@fs0598 Khameleon being Umgadi kind of nips the whole romance angle in the bud, assuming Tanya/Mileena is an exception instead of something common, so, no worries.
@@CoralCopperHead yeah i view it from that perspective too!
I'll never get over how funny the beginning of Armageddon is with everyone stopping to look and then it starts with Stryker sucker punching Mileena and running towards the other group.
Same
Actually, in MK9, Khameleon is visible in background cutscenes. She looks like Kitana’s MK3 ninja suit but it’s grey.
Khameleon have be playable again some point in the future.
Yes she will indeed
She not you both forget she kameo not playable idiots 😒
Im so happy to see Khameleon even if she is just a cameo
Reptile don't even know Khameleon exist she definitely have a reptilian form like Syzorth we have yet to see also we need to know where is Chameleon in this timeline hopefully he returns in the future.
In one of interviews before relase of MK1, Ed Boon was asked if Chameleon will be playable - and he answers "very likely".
So just wait for new DLC, maybe story expansion involving Zatteran race.
@@Camel-from-Arabiahe not coming back an be kombat pack 2 dlc he dead moron how you people not get or know that 😒
@@Camel-from-Arabiano he was supposed to make an confirm mk12 but we got mk1 instead chameleon not gotta come back man jeez you people got you want 😒
Khameleon should have been in MK9 or MKX a lot as well as her male counterpart they could have very well been in the story have chapters or just have cameos and be in the background like Skarlet in MK9 before we were introduce to her but Khameleon could have been DLC both Midway and NetherRealm Studios mishandled her and Chameleon then.
I really hope she is on the main roster of the next MK, maybe even a DLC character in the future if enough people ask for her. Think about how unique her combos would with her abilities, just having a female zatteran on the roster alone would be dope. If Frost can exist so can she.
A minor, yet, cool character finally makes a return to MK1.
Love her! Would've appreciated some voice lines for her in Story Mode like Sareena, Goro, and Kano had.
However I think it is worth mentioning that she did appear in the MK9 Story Mode as a background character with her Klassic Ultimate Ninja Skin from MK3! 💚🤍
I do love her new design in MK1 but i still love her old designs from previous games as well.. All that is left is the Male Chameleon hopefully Syzoth get an interaction towards Chameleon that i would love to see..
In Reptile’s mk2 bio and ending, there were other Saurians who we never seen.
I’m non-Canon there were others:
Kiri& Ankha
Komodai
I remember Komodai from the Defenders of the Realm cartoon
Reptile in a relationship with Ashrah but he should be in a relationship with Khameleon but I don't think he's aware of her existence despite fighting against her in his MK1 story chapter but I don't think he knew she's a Saurian.
"should" is a strong word. It's never implied that the two have ever had any sort of romantic connection. While I guess it's reasonable to expect them to be together just because their both Saurians, Reptile and Ashrah wouldn't be the first characters not to date another species.
@@JuanitoEsBonitoKhameleon MK Trilogy ending have her and Reptile become a couple and have children and rebuild Zaterra though it's possible they did hooked up in other timelines due to Kronika but currently in MK1 they are unaware of each other well Reptile seem to be unaware of her at least.
we need khameleon as an playable character not just a kameo in my opinion
It to late man you really seen trailer she not playable in roster man 😒
She should have had Skarlet's moves too! Especailly MK9 Skarlet
And Tanya's as well, since she had her fireball in MKA
@@damientaylor7480 and frost as well
@@blood-reaper I get what you mean but for me Frost was always separate from the female assassins, even though she is one, AND she doesn't have her own colour, she shares hers with Kitana. She also has a completely different design, she was never designed like Kitana, Mileena, Jade, Khameleon, Tanya (although maskless) and Skarlet, she was more like a female version of a male ninja. Even in MK1 she has a feminized MKII costume, not an MKII or MK3 female assassin costume. So I can see why you'd want that but to me Frost is separate and more unique than they are.
@@damientaylor7480 Tanya isn’t a ninja and Ed Boon has confirmed that! Skarlet on the other hand is the very definition of a ninja especially in MK9!
@@lordronn472 Ed Boon doesn't know what a Demigod is, he's a focking (deliberate misspelling) idiot who forgot his OWN LORE. Also in several concepts Tanya wears a mask, even in Mileena's MK1 ending. If she wasn't one, Khameleon wouldn't have had her fireball in MKA, debate over.
I love that she’s using jades moves 😍😍😍
Damn it! Where's Jade?
I had the Wii version of Armageddon and loved her. I think they are such a creative way to go about the mimic character in fighting games. You have a few frame to do an input for a certain character based on the color of their outfit. It is so impressive
They announced a DLC story for God of war Ragnarok last night at the game awards just saying
I wish they would bring back Chameleon and Khameleon and also Motaro (even bipedal) as playable characters. They’re some of the most unique in the whole franchise yet they get wasted as side characters
When you gonna do the updated one for the male Kamilion?
Still wish they renamed her to Khamelea so we can have Chameleon added as well without name overlap.
Wtf? Lmfao.....
I will say while unconfirmed, during MK9 the does appear to be standing in the background of the beginning scenes of the tournament as a cameo.
I have never heard of Khameleon, but dang I would love to play as her in the future!!
Khameleon was in the MK reboot she just had 2 seconds of screen time and no dialogue.
Hope to see a fully playable (male) Chameleon on MK1!
He won’t be confirmed mk1 man he’s fake an not real ninja like others 😒
Awesome
I really, REALLY hope we get Chameleon too
Yes I definitely want to see him again as well.
We’re not getting male chameleon mk1 he not gotta come back 😒
The Umgadi are priestesses, which means they all have magic abilities, she could just have been rebooted as another edenian who is in the Umgadi, and her abilities is to shapeshift
I feel like the kameo mechanic will evolve into being able to mash two fighters together in a multiverse style game. Like Johnny cage utilizing chryomancy or Jax using soul magic.
I know that's off topic, just thought it'd be interesting
I have never heard of her, like you said she was more of a rumor character. After seeing this though, I can see why individuals are so excited.
I think she's a cool Kameo, but I don't want her in the game when we are missing people like Jade and Sonya; it would just piss people off. I hope she changes colors still when she comes out, I liked using male Chameleon in Armageddon because of how he looked. Also fun fact: chameleons don't change color to blend in to their environment, its more for absorbing sunlight and communicating; but some octopus do change color and shape as camouflage though.
We’ve literally gotten jade and Sonya throughout countless games… they can sit khameleon is a way more interesting and cooler character than jade and Sonya altogether and she deserves a proper storyline and shine….
Khameleon isn't a cooler or more interesting character, which is why she's barely in the games.@@amariw7587
@@amariw7587 if she was all that cool & better she would been playable calm down. Popular characters don’t need to take a backseat in order for lesser obscure characters to get shine. to which Jade is coming as dlc anyway so..
I love that her entire kit is just “Anything you can do, I can do better”😂
Her and sareena have always been my favorites im happy there playable even if in just a kameo form
hello everyone

I was a chameleon main in Armageddon
The biggest missed opportunity of the MK9 reboot story is not bringing both K/Chameleons back as siblings but changing the males name to Komodo. Have him eventually become the vessel for Onaga (Komodo DRAGON, anyone?) so Reptile & Khameleon can breed to create a Saurian for the next generation. A name for said child: 'Gekko'
Hey bro can u do some doa (dead or alive) characters? Good content on mk characters
Since she was a Nintendo exclusive character I didn’t get to see or play her growing up and because I used to own Trilogy before it cracked I really missed out. So Khameleon being a Kameo is definitely great nah sayers can boo until the cows come home who cares let people enjoy stuff
I love her man
She hella fine too! ❤ if only they gave her more shine...
She should be fully playable
We don't even know that she is Zaterran in this timeline. Why is she not a reptilian creature or why is Reptiles skin not white.
Anyway I'm glad she's there but her only purpose is so they don't need to make 3 separate Kameo versions of Kitana Mileena and Jade. They had a chance to make her unique and have her own moves, but lazy NRS went the expected Bland way.
This might be a stretch, but the only time I’ve ever heard of khameleon until now was her male incarnation, spelled WITH a K, in MK9 when he was, I believe, a mod.
I've only ever seen the Male Chameleon, this is the first im even hearing of her
How can she/he copy other ninjas moves?
Can you do a HBTW remake for Shang tsung Mk1 edition please
I’ve always heard of her but I’ve never seen her in a game but as a kameo
She was and is STILL High Tech and Timeless….
Karma, karma, karma, karma, karma khameleon
You come and go, you come and go
jade were is jade 😭i want jade
We all want Jade. But something tells me that NRS is not interested to bring her back in MK1.
Khameleon won't ever transform in to a lizard form. Reptile himself says in the new MK1 story mode that he is the only one of his kind that has the lizard form/transformation and is seen like a freak among his own kind.
I hate that she isn’t being released alongside Quan Chi. It just feels underwhelming to have to wait a month for a character we can’t even play as.
Imagine playing MK on the Wii of all things lol
4:59 wait why did he do that??? lol
It’s different in MK Conquest. It’s a whole race of reptiles. Shao Khan conquered the realm and just work for him now
Netherealm had a chance to do one of the funniest shit ever, made Khameleon a kameo only for the switch version
I swear she's in the background of mk9's ch1 w/ cage-
Pretty sure Khameleon was in the background of a cutscene in MK9.
i love Khameleon and chameleon
I feel like Khameleon is different from Reptile the same way Neanderthals were different from Homosapiens. They're similar but different evolutionarily. Khameleon seems more evovled than Reptile, like she doesn't have a reptilian form and her powers are better. Reptile can't mimic others powers. She doesn't seem, act or resemble a Saurian. We've never even seen her in a reptilian form. Until I see her in a lizard form I'm gonna see her this way.
Glad shes here technically jade is here thru her
I'm partial to Scarlett myself.
Is it khameleon in the invasion season 6 ending?
Khameleon is pretty cute and l love her too 😍❤️
First
Now when you say Chameleon, I would assume that he is Khameleon's brother. Hence the similar name.
PlayStation had the male Chameleon and N64 had the female Chameleon. I prefer the male version with abilities from scorpion, sub-zero, reptile, smoke, and rain.
N64? Wii? Khameleon is officially a Nintendo character lol
What about the male version of chameleon?
She should've been in smash instead of piranha plant
Friendly FYI, it's "remnant" not "remmenant"
I hate how greyscale they made her. They shouldn't have made her hair and skin basically the same color.
Her Design Is Cool , She Is Very Pretty .
Love her gameplay in MK1, hate her design
It was the opposite for me I knew about female Khamelion never heard of the male one lol
She bad asf
She looks so cute.
So she's Nintendo's Kombatant
I created the original Khameleon character.
Is there a lore reason for all the k spellings?
I have to ask; are you planning to do any “History of…” videos with any Tekken characters, now that Tekken 8 is around the corner?
I dont care for the kameo system at all...like why not make them playable characters 🤦...i love they brought back khameleon but her interaction with reptile would have been great.
No! Because she does not have any of Tanya's moves.
Kameos was the worst thing they added to the series
Original Superior M Chameleon > Gender Swapped Inferior F Chameleon
I don't agree
Console exclusivity is a horrible and dumb practice.
Just give a character white hair and I'll be all over them
I always seen it to chameleons as joke characters or just a little gift or surprise incentive to get the game. I hate that they made them actual characters.
why would they add this lesser Chameleon, when they could add the original Male chameleon. it had the powers of Scorp, Sub, Rep, Smoke, Ermac, Rain, Noob all together. better than just kitana mileena jade. but of course its Woke-NRS so they always force fem chars to the roster hahah :D
Because then he would be just too much like Shang Tsung from MK11, in a perfect world i would love and option for both and have them both be Main Roster fighters. But i think Female Khameleon works better here.
Theres quite literally 27 male characters in base mk1 roster including kameos and only 9 female characters including kameos. What are you going on about you incel
What are you even saying ? There’s literally only 7 playable women and 3 kameos…
And the first kombat pack doesn’t even have a single one
Damn could you back from the sausage fest a bit ntm khameleons whole purpose of appearing is so that the female ninjas themselves don’t have to as kameos
Fem detected = opinion rejected hahah :D
NRS : We will completely change Khameleons look and costume Ed Boon: Do you think they won't see the difference NRS: People are idiots 🙄 they won't make the difference. Ed Boon : Are you saying that we can just come up with any garbage characters we want and the idiot player won't see the difference as long as we call the character "Khameleon" NRS : you are a genius. Exactly, people will believe anything. The idiots in the comments: Yuppie Khameleon is coming, she looks so fkn cool 😎 😍 👌
