Now today seeing as you all really really this 'Who the hell' series, I wanted to do another Instalment on another obscure character of the series, the forgotten saurian, a female legacy character, Khameleon.
To really do a deep dive of Khameleons history Ill have to talk about what made her unique to It and her origin, as It does tie into long time fan favourite, Reptile.
Now Khameleon Is a cult beloved characters BUT chances are you've probably heard about her more then you've seen her, so lets give this forgotten old school female ninja of the series some love!
Lets explore her origins, her problematic yet interesting inclusions In the series and most importantly, her ties to reptile and most importantly... Chameleon (Yes with a C)
I hope you enjoy this one guys!

Not to mention, Raiden actually knows of her existence and tells Reptile that the two can bring back their race...
Yooo Reptile getting bitches
Wouldnt they be heavily inbred lol
@Snugkhan 😂
Reptile bouta have some lizussy.
Reptile: if we were the last two people on earth, who’s gonna stop me?
She should return cause she have a fleshed out story already.
That can be said about most of the characters from the 3-D era
Yeah the fact she not a main character and not that important to the stories she actually has a story that could have been expanded upon Reptile story.
@@MazeDaGr8 Despite debuting in Trilogy ._.
They just don't care bout reptile anymore he became a jobber and slave roll sad but true
Reptile should get a redemption arc like Baraka have in MK11 and both Khameleon and Chameleon should be apart of Reptile story he is not the last of his race.
I wonder if the grey or silver clad female ninja that was scene in few cutscenes of MK9 story was actually Khameleon cause who ever it was they look like Khameleon in her Mortal Kombat Trilogy attire.
Yeah it was her
I'd like to see obscure characters like Tremor & Khameleon return to the MK games
And Kaiand Chameleon and definitely Moloch and Drahmin and ooh Sektor/Cyrax that'd be cool and Smoke holy fuck I'm just now realizing how much we're missing. And of course who can forget MKs most well thought out and badass character Hsu Haooooooooo 😂
Just don't count how many times I said "and" lol. Honestly I do miss the mor dark characters that appeard in Deadly Allience like Drahmin,Moloch, that dude that was like Kabal I didn't like him but ya know kinda cool oh and Blaze
Or was Blaze Deception?
@@YearsOVDecay1 i think he means in story mode
this aged well
I love Khameleon! She has a lot of story potential especially with Reptile! Hopefully she will return one day! :D
I heard she is returning in the next mk game
No I want reptile an chameleon male mk12 no female
@@tylermatthew349there both console exclusives, so lame chameleon would be on playstation/Xbox and cool khameleon would be on Nintendo
@@CultofHappwer seriously 😒
@@tylermatthew349 yep
Aqua is the best, they should make him properly, like a cute and lethal humanoid platypus
No he is not

@@moescredriver5486 the best at what out of the ninjas or mk characters
@@XZAVIER-DAA-GOD even nicer than Hsu Hao
@@moescredriver5486 oh 100% better then that jobber
Chameleon deserves at least a backstory... He is a character that has always been there so they can literally plug him into any storyline and fit in well as he is essentially a blank slate.
Make him pure neutral though, we don’t need another evil character just for the sake of being evil.
@@gabrieltejada1697 Definitely!
His armageddon ending clarifies that he was around for all of it but chose to stay hidden to not reveal himself to shao but other than that dudes a complete mystery and an easy character to flesh out
Tbh I want him to stay mysterious
@@CamTheAutisticFag well I agree but I also wish for some of his history/lore to be revealed but not a fully fleshed out back story. The history is a mystery and I like that
With Kitana stealing everyone's weapons and movesets, maybe we should think more about the theory that Khameleon actually replaced Kitana in the new timeline.
I- ykw? I gotta think abt that
Y'know, why does that make a lil bit of sense, though? XD
Lol no
New Mortal Kombat trailer has this Character in it. That’s why I’m here lol 😂
I feel like netherrealm is really missing out on a lot of the 3D era characters even if people don't know about them they should at least put them in the newer games and the best way to do that since they've completely wiped the new timeline and the whole time line is bring them in the new timeline that way the old gamers and new gamers can experience those characters once again
Bruh they literally write the 3D characters into comics just to die lol
I agree but I think part of the problem is some people just want to see the ninjas and robots all the time. Especially in MK11 where some of them are missing.
@@AaronVira But they're non-cannon sooo....
now they finally brought some 3D era characters back
Khameleon for future matriarch of the saurian race. Could even make chameleon her twin brother. Maybe make them work like the tmnt do in injustice
I was thinking that, too. They could be twins.
Both Chameleon and Khameleon should have been in Deception cause returning characters since MK Trilogy was brought back in Deception with more story Khameleon should have been in the Konquest trying to get Reptile to turn against Shao Kahn and the male Chameleon since he's evil should have go after his female counterpart and she tries to reason with both him and Reptile to be good.
Since Khameleon the one with a story arc and is good she can be train and battle Shujinko and she puts him on a mission to look for Chameleon or Reptile and they tell Shujinko Khameleon will pay for betraying Shao Kahn or send him to find a item for her or something Chameleon and Khameleon had so much potential.
That would have been amazing. Maybe they'll do that if they end up remastering Deception.
@@gregorymerry5408 I wish, but they plan on remastering Shaolin Monks, which I'm not complaining lmao
Sad how fans can come up with more fascinating stories than the developers themselves this was such a misoppurtunity Khameleon and Chameleon should return one day.
@@nivago9267 I'm hoping for Drahmin and his partner as well as Khameleon and Chameleon too.
@@osirisjojo6876 You talking about Drahmin and Moloch.
I wasn't expecting a video on Khameleon, but I'm cool with the idea of her returning, she could've sided with the Earthrealm heroes (like Sareena did in MKX). I like her transparent design and the fact that Khameleon's the first female Saurian we've seen in the series seen thus far.
I think NRS just love keeping some of their characters under the radar, like the Khameleon/Chameleon duo.
In the OG/Pre-MK9 timeline her storyline does reveal that she does join the Special Forces/Earthrealm's side as a stealth/infiltration expert after discovering the truth about what happened Zaterra including not only Shao Kahn destroying it by merging it with Outrealm after conquering it, and the fact her own younger brother Chameleon was the one who sold their realm out to Shao Khan due to him being a treacherous scumbag, and her trying to reveal the truth about Zaterra's fate and how her little brother stabbed them, their realm, and their race the Saurians in the back to Reptile/Syzoth but failing due to Chameleon insuring Reptile/Syzoth still believes him and Shao Kahn's version of events forcing Khameleon to go into a forced exile where she links up with the Special Forces/heroes, and heroines of Earthrealm and joins their side.
Whos here after the Mk1 trailer?
Reptiles crush, that’s who
Nah not at all
@@-Devoid- I mean kinda
I can't imagine them "doing it"
@@ccelite3782 Khamelion wants to do it to restore their race
@@-Devoid- *oh no*
Khameleon should have returned in Mortal Kombat Deception I could see her sending Shujinko on tasks and he help Khameleon fight the male Chameleon and also fight Reptile.
Same here
Or given Reptile a redemption arc, concince him to join the forces of light.
Why fight the male one? Makes no sense since his story just makes him feel like someone that is pure neutral and has no affinity with anyone (based on his Armageddon ending even though it isn’t canon)
@@redmastermind4959 have Reptile eat Dvorah, would be a huge win for him.
@@gabrieltejada1697 W
Looking up cheat codes on the internet was totally a thing during the MK trilogy era
MK fan 1: “Who cares about good stories and character development? I just want to see Blood and Gory Action!”
MK fan 2: “I’m glad that the MK Franchise has been improving/evolving.”
The first fan is a kasual not an actual fan.
@@JavanRobertsMagee yeah most people who play mk just play it but dont get the story and they bad at the game too
The only game I played was Mk4. I am here for the story. So does that make me mk fan 3?😅
testingshanu
Maybe
testingshanu
You can watch cutscenes to catch up.
Khameleon and Chameleon should have been DLC in MK9 like Rain and Skarlet was I would like to see Khameleon and Chameleon return in Mortal Kombat in the future whether they playable characters in a future MK game or cameos in the games bring them back in something I even would like to see characters like Meat and Mokap somehow come back and be fleshed out more but Khameleon and Chameleon I want to see more maybe put them in the live action or animated Mortal Kombat movies that be great Khameleon the most popular of the two so we might see her more both can be a tag team in a movie.
nah they should’ve been dlc in mk11 since reptile wasn’t included
I ADORE khameleon and chameleon theyre so underrated :,)
Thank you for this- I seriously love Khameleon. She needs to come back and redeem the Saurian race!
Well I see were talking about The Underrated Twin of Chameleon but I wouldn't say forgotten though she's everywhere in MK FanArt
I need her back in the games
Yeah it's been so long but we need a male chameleon to
She back kameo not playable but no male 😒
Khameleon have a great story Reptile need a redemption story like Baraka gotten in MK11 and add Khameleon in it weird Reptile story don't mention either Khameleon or Chameleon since they are two of the last remaining Saurians besides Reptile that's still alive and Khameleon wanting to get her realm back is a great plot I can see her working with the heroes maybe she talk some senses to Reptile and she succeeds turning him good maybe have the male Chameleon just be evil and he don't care about Zaterra and Khameleon and Reptile beat some senses into him denying his heritage I can't believe Midway didn't bring Chameleon and Khameleon back and give them a bigger story which gives more backstory of Zaterra and the Saurian race and more importantly Reptile story I hope both Khameleon and Chameleon return in a MK game in the future.
We need a "who the hell is MONSTER" from MK DEC
Even as a kid I thought that was just a lazy excuse of a character lol
he’s a scrapped alt kostume for Scorpion
could be viewed as his “Elder God” form
I also want Khameleon and Chameleon needs to come back in mk12 they need redemption and you should do Hornbuckle💚💚 next
Same here
Chameleon with the K is the female.
@@soul71000 ik
Hornbuckle who?
@@kevinm657 he's like Liu Kang except his attre is green on the side of his pants
I remember putting in the code to get the Chameleon♂️ on MK Trilogy. It was fun fighting your opponent while he would randomly change so you had to be quick with the move list
You could use a similar code in Ultimate MK3 too and pretend that that's Chameleon, only thing is he could change to anyone not just the seven ninjas.
@@VOAN right
Oooh yeah, I remember that moment.
@@karnerblue7658 👑
It’s crazy how she is back in the new game!!!! Shout out 😊
Reptile,Chameleon,and Khameleon are the only known Zatteran/Saurian in the franchise that deserves to be in MK11 because the roster is missing alot of characters and they need more love,attention,and development,plus if Kobra was secretly a Zatteran/Saurian,it would make alot of sense.
There's another Zattaran/Saurian in the Mortal Kombat cartoon called Komodai, that could be another candidate for a future MK games too. Also the multiple Reptiles in MK Conquest live action show and Kiri in the show is also a Zattaran as well as her lesbian partner.
@@VOAN Well,you do have a point,but if anymore Zatteran/Saurian are going to be explore,the Reptile,Chameleon,and Khameleon have to be fully developed first.
How about the Water, Fire, and Earth gods from Sub Zero Mythologies?
should have been playable in MKX you know make that roster interesting seriously that roster was trash
The Shadow Priest and Hornbuckle should be playable first.
@@VOAN Hornbuckle himself was slated to be a shadow priest so you have double in a package their
Imo I think the fire god was the one fighting Hornbuckle at the bridge (MK2) not blaze
@@tonyinfinite5174 it was blaze,the fire god was killed by bi han in mythologies
@@SupportGamin2024 Bro Fujin ressurect from Bi Han assault in Mythologies remember MK4, 4th snake has a video on it it's not blaze it's someone else
We appreciate your passion for even the bottom of the barrel characters. Keep it up man! Love all the videos!
Edit: like boom, dude i never knew outworld merged with more than one realm.
Chameleon/Khameleon was mentioned by Reptile in one of his intro dialogue in MKX
They should revamp Khameleon because we got a female tarkatan in Mileena, we may as well have a female Saurian too.
my 2 favourite characters tbh
Khameleon could be a big player in the rebooted timeline, as some characters would go in direction that do not lead to the Tournament.
I'm loving these kinds of videos they're so interesting
What about chameleon? He is also a character just with too much mystery.
The fact that Khameleon has only been available in the Nintendo consoles gives me a small glimmer of hope that she’ll be in MK 11
gotta show support man ive been following for years and always enjoyed your vids please keep up the good work my guy
I'm glad Khameleon back in a modern Mortal Kombat game after almost 20 years.
That one character that was mainly known for being exclusive to Nintendo versions of MK games.
Sareena at one point was also considered to be exclusive to Nintendo version as well cause even though she appeared in Mythologies Bi-Han, she was only playable in Mortal Kombat Tournament Edition which was the second half of the MK Deadly Alliance version of the GBA game. She didn't became fully playable on console until Armageddon. Sareena, Sektor, and Bi-Han were only playable in the GBA versions of Deadly Alliance second half game, Tournament Edition but in doing so they removed Blaze and Mokap. Kinda odd how the GBA got better exclusives and secret characters than the console versions as Mokap and Blaze feel like joke characters instead.
As always love your vids brother , thankyou !!!!🤘🙌 😉 Awesomeness!!
Everyone seems to be becoming a "Ninja" though in the vid titles.
Khameleon / Hydro ..Ninja ?
I’m glad they keep her obscure. I still play MK trilogy just to play as Khameleon. I don’t want them to make her huge. When she happens it’s badass and always leaves you wanting to know more
Since MK1 seems to have changed the result of the war with Outworld and Edenia. Makes me think that Zatarra might be either a separate country like before or isn't a slave army country like in the original timeline. I would love to see Reptile and both chameleons (hopefully change the name of one of them to better separate them. Also I think it would be fun if they give them a different moveset. They could still copy other characters but maybe only a little bit. Plus it always seemed somewhat odd that a being from a different realm knew about Earthrealms ninja's. So maybe have them instead copy Edenian and Outworld characters instead. The rumors suggest that Khameleon is a Kameo which I hope is true
Oh! You could make a video about Hornbuckle!
I really do hope she’s a playable character in a future game! As for forgotten characters…how about that weird demon guy that was supposedly a secret character for MK4?
belok right?
He was (Belok) originally a console exclusive developed by said console so he wasn't official his concept carried over as Baphomet the elder demon he was slated for Deadly alliance however using the same name as figure despise by holymen MK devs didn't want to get into politics so he was scrapped
Why would you want a character that has a combination of other character's moves?
@LlEUCU. BEAU× I guess it depends on your idea of cool. Seems cheesy and lazy to me 🤷♂️ Shang Tsung has his own moveset tho
@LlEUCU. BEAU× yup. Scrap him too. At this point it'd only be fan service and pointless
I love to see Khameleon (or Reptile) return in Mortal Kombat 11. But seeing how predictable this game is, I highly doubt it. 🐊🐢🦎🐍
I would like to see both Khameleon and Chameleon in another game with more history with Reptile
Do a "who the hell is Hornbuckle" video
Thank u for this video!!!! Chameleon & Khameleon are so overwhelmingly under appreciated. Khameleon reminds me a Khameleon Jade, and ironically in MK11 Jade has a "Khameleon" skin
I feel like the Male counterpart, Chameleon, could of been a creation and messenger for Kronika while also studying the male ninjas fighting styles. They could change his name.
Khameleon needs to return shed be a cool character to play.
I love this type of video. So excited to see which character is next.
I always wanted Chameleon & Khameleon to return to MK.
Could you do tremor or skarlet next just because they haven’t had a lot of appearances
Armageddon Wii was probably my first MK game and it was fun as hell
How did Shao Kahn beat Onaga? Shao Kahn was always scared of him and then gets the W out of knowhere. Is there a comic or something that shows their battle?
Poison
Shao Khan poisoned Onaga
Ashra, khameleon, onaga, havoc, and ermac is who I want in the next combat pack
I'm here bc this mk1 new kameo character, i I don't even know who khameleon is. Thanks for the explanation 😅
Can you do an episode on Kai?
Chameleon was implied to be a Saurian in Mortal Kombat Trilogy but in Mortal Kombat Armageddon he was implied to be a composite being created from multiple souls, like Ermac.
I mess the khameleon 💚💚💚💚 awesome videos as always
If it were up to me I'd change them to be the same character, as in a Saurian shapeshifter called Khameleon with no uniform gender. It'd explain the lore hole of Chameleon, retain the lore of Khameleon, and make sense with regards to their changeling-esque abilities
Khameleon story is similar to Kitana story only difference is Kitana was unaware of her true origins while Khameleon does and knows what happened to her realm but both have a vendetta and sought to get vengeance on Shao Kahn for taking each of their realm I see them teaming up both have the same purpose.
Honestly I wish, that, instead of separating Reptile and Onaga after the events of Deception; but before Armageddon, Midway would've let Reptile STAY Onaga and have Chameleon take over his role in the MKA storyline. Basically Onaga just dies and Reptile trys to convince Caro to keep the portal closed to try and stop Taven's progress. It would've made more sense to give Chameleon Reptile's limited role and keep Reptile as Onaga; adding to both characters overall character development and involvement in the story. Also I think Taven should've battled Khamelion at some point in Shao Kahn's fortress or dungeon; basically thinking that Taven is interfering with her goal to get close to and eliminate Shao Kahn. Also she's NOT present at the Final battle and neither is her male counter part
A video on Saurians that have combined move sets from other characters without a mention of MK1 Reptile starting the trend?
Khamsleon was my Armageddon main
I read over 100 wikipedia's including main characters and actually more illusive characters most people havent even heard of for a comic/anime I would like to write about and I'm actually currently thinking of character designs for her.i think she is a neat character along with her Male counterpart
Next up:
Who the hell is Belokk?
I remember this guy, to bad he didn’t make it :(
Hey hey hey!!!!......I haven't watched this yet and I'm going to but I love chameleon and I would be stoked as hell if he comes in the dlc
Make one of Havik or Sareena next. Great stuff!
I never noticed that her changes to the color of the female ninja's ability she is using.
Maybe Khameleon might become a new main character/villain😲
Who knows she might be in Mortal Kombat 12 in the future one day
I like the idea that the Chameleons are true sarians and reptile is a sarian/tarkatan hybrid created by Shang Tsung
Considering how they never gave Reptile or his race much justice after MK4, She and Chameleon never really stood a chance either. Also instead of the different spellings, I wish they could gave them different names just to avoid confusions.
Yeap like Reptile, I betcha if both appeared in the reboot timeline they would have real names instead of codename just like Bi-Han, Kuai-Liang, Tomas, and Syzoch. Maybe they could called Khameleon "Mist" and other Chameleon "Phanto" since he look more like a phantom.
her pose looks awesome, if she was to come back she should have it
These videos about lesser known characters are great, thanks
yes! about time for this video
Khameleon is the only character that I haven't played as.
The reason why the N64 versions of MK Trilogy never got the male Chameleon was because of the N64 cartridge limitation. Not only that but Smoke in the N64 version was the Ultimate version whereas the PS1 port of MK Trilogy got the MK3 version of Smoke which is why when you choose Smoke in the N64 version and hold the code for Human Smoke he could still transform into Human Smoke before a match whereas in the PS1, Saturn, and PC version that Smoke can't. Because of that they use the Human Smoke code for Chameleon so if you hold the code down for one of the ninja, that ninja would revert into Chameleon and become in ninja randper mode only changing form between each ninja rather than each character. I say randper cause when you become Chameleon in MKT you had no control of who he could change into, you could only do a special move on who the ninja he randomly change into so because of that he's not really that fun of character to play as but he is a fun character to fight against as being able to change into anyone could offer such a tough challenge.
Yo love the content just bought MK11 it's dope ....Keep up the Lore videos mate !
Love your content. Keep up the good work.
Khameleon needs a bigger spotlight.
Also, Mokap deserves elaboration just for the actors behind him, Meat and Blaze have good stories behind them, maybe a little hornswaggle action too. Ever cover the deities on earth who aren't Raiden or Fujin?
Hey HBTW is it possible for you to make a video featuring Darrius or Kai?
Can't wait till they both make a comeback
these 2 should return as secret fights like in the originals
Sorry I don’t get to comment of all ur videos I be at work when watch most of em😂 love them🤍🖤
How about going over the other members of the Special Forces (other than Jax and Sonya)? We know Sonya had a partner that Kano killed, and Jax communicated with someone (I think her name was Gemini) during the Special Forces game. Malibu also had a Special Forces comic advertised at one point. Plus the official MK1 prequel comic had someone else too, I think.
Love this series you've been doing
Hey keep up the videos!👍🤘 We love em🖤💚
These types of videos are definitely interesting and it makes you wonder if they will ever be placed into official videogame debus through storymode canon instead of just being playable and/or be at least mentioned more often to an extent.
I miss the 3D fighting environments. Idk why they didn't continue using it. 2D environments are so limiting. Being able to sidestep & counter-attack was fun & realistic. Also dug the custom fighting styles
I hate that they never implemented this character as a full on character in any of the games. There have been so many stories of this character.
I think one thing that hurt Khameleon is that because was kind of hard to see and her colors would change so quick that she was hard to use.
Hey HBTW, PLZ do "Monster" (From MK Deception) next!🙏
Khameleon was also playable in the ps2 variant of armageddon, they both are actually
Honestly I love her design with the crazy white hair I wanna see her come back!!!
The idea of both male & female would introduce twins within the MK universe
So how was it fighting/playing with trueunderdawg ?
