Species Name: Chameleon

Type: Amorphic

Physical Traits: Chameleons are shape shifters with no true shape. They have the amazing ability to form themselves into a variety of things, from a mouse to a horse to a suitcase. They can form their body into any shape, size, texture, and colour with very few limits. However, they cannot separate and form two parts, they must stay all together. Secondly, they must rest in their natural state for several hours out of the day, shapeshifting is taxing on them and they must rest from it.

Height: 4-7 ft

Weight: 80 lbs

Mobility: Legs

Sensory Organs: Visual

Communication: Vocal

Reproduction: They are asexual, and have children through a sort of Mitosis, once every 50 years a Chameleon has 1 day where he (or she) is capable of producing offspring. At this time a small portion of their liquid breaks off of them and begins to develop into a changeling. This development process takes approximately 1 year, and at this time they will be sentient and capable of being linked to. During the development process, the changelings parent will keep it in a safe, secluded, and preferably warm place.

INT: 3D6, WIS: 3D6, STR: 3D6, DEX: 3D6, CON: 3D6, CHA: 3D6, MR: 3D6, HPs: CON +D8

Orbit/Climate: 1 AU. Extremely erratic, retrograde, elliptical orbit, unpredictable, harsh and violent temperature changes.

Atmosphere: Exotic and corrosive plethora of toxic trace metals and gases.

Oceans: 10%

Gravity: 100%

Feeding Habits: Chameleons do not need to eat or drink, but they do need oxygen to retain memory. Prolonged oxygen deprivation will cause them to enter a form of hibernation and when awoken they will have no memories whatsoever, and must be taught all over again. To suffocate a Chameleon, one must cover the whole body, as they have no special organs to breath from, the oxygen just diffuses. In their natural state, the Chameleons have no vocal cords, and cannot talk to species through audio communications, they must be taught to form vocal cords in order to speak with humans. Also, they can absorb liquid such as blood, water, etc. and hold it in their bodies, and release it on cue (making blood screening ineffective of them).

Lifespan: 110 years

Technology: 9

Culture: Xenophobic, fearful of others, harsh but still some redeeming features. Chameleon society is unique in the fact that they have a pseudo-collective hive mind where they can receive the memories and knowledge of all other Chameleons. They can however maintain anonymity, and can attempt to withhold information from the link.

Government: Oligarchy

Population: 2.7 billion
