Chameleon

Chameleons can be found in plains, woodlands, basically anywhere except cold taiga, desert biomes, the nether, extreme hills, and the end. Chameleons will blend with their surroundings (be the color of the block that they are standing on). They can be tamed by feeding them apples. They can be bred the same way the they are tamed. Chameleons have 3 “stages” that you can upgrade them through. They spawn in stage 1. After you tame them, you feed them apples to stage 2 and golden apples to stage three. At stage one they do no damage. At stage two they have claws that knock one half-heart off of the target. At stage three they have poison spurs that knock off a half-heart and poison you for fifteen seconds. A tamed chameleon will follow you unless you tell them to stay, similar to a wolf.

    How I'd do chameleons is they only spawn in Jungle biomes, are attacked on site by ocelots and parrots, will attack termites or other bugs, can change color randomly or depending what they're standing on (becomes harder to detect by predators), and can be tamed (placing bug infested blocks nearby (can also clear bug infested blocks quickly and enter love mode) (when breading, they behave slimier to turtles)) and ride on your head and shoulder.  There could also be three types the Jackson's (spiky), the Veiled, and the Panther Chameleon.

    I feel like maybe you should be able to grab termites off of the termite hills and feed them to the chameleons to tame/breed them.

    The way I think chameleons should work is that they can be tamed using spider eye. Will only attack insects or arachnids. And will become the primary color of the block they are standing on. They will lay eggs in a clutch of 3-4. They would add variety to the animals in Minecraft since there are no reptiles in the game. They would have no predators and eggs would be smaller turtle eggs.

    Love this idea! Maybe you could collect chameleon shedded skin and combine them with armor pieces to make a camouflage armor set, or armor piece which helps you hide from hostile mobs. Similar to how players use turtle scutes to make a turtle helmet.

    I love this idea another feature that would be cool is that when a hostile mob is nearby it will puff up and hiss scaring the mob away a few blocks. also just likes parrots they should be able to be on you but instead of your shoulders your head. And lastly I think they should only spawn in the jungle since that’s where chameleons are usually found.

    I think a tamed chameleon should be able to go on your shoulder too, kind of like a parrot. I also think chameleons would probably be best in the jungle, instead of the plains and woodlands. They'd help add more mobs to the jungle, and they would make jungles much cooler.
