A person who can adapt and fit in to any group or situation and make it work to their advantage. Be it defensive, predatory, or for camaraderie.
Alpha's hate these dude, as they basically do whatever they want and completely get away with it.

Kaiser Soze was a chameleon.

Changing your personality to fit the people you're around. Can be seen as a defense mechanism or just a way to adjust to or enjoy different people.

A chameleon is a middle-sized reptile that can change colors.
They are rather bizarre-looking, because their eyes can point in different directions.
They are famous for their ability to change their color to match their surroundings, hence the nickname, "Chameleon" given to anyone who changes with what's "Popular".

me: no, I mean the reptile

A person who adjusts themselves to fit into whatever happens to be cool at the moment. Includes their appearance, their interests, their opinions, their personalities. often reffered to as 'scenesters' 'try-too-hards' or 'idiots'.
In lieu of the new emo fad, the chameleon bought a pink shirt, tight ball-squeezing jeans, cut his hair emo style, and parted it over the side, covering exactly 1/3 of his face.

A person, male or female, who has identity problems, causing them to focus on the identity of others (i.e. schoolmates, co-workers, "friends," or other persons somehow involved in said chameleon's life). The focus eventually cues a temporary transformation that leads to the person mimicking another's style, habits, and even vocal patterns.
This is a most frustrating behavior to any true individual, as nothing about one's personality or style can feel "sacred" once a chameleon begins transforming to be just like them.

Similar to a survivalist, but with several important differences. Chameleons prepare themselves for scenarios in which failure would result in a large loss of life or societal collapse as opposed to survivalists who simply wish to prepare for an apocalypse. They dress in a paramilitary style or are nondescript. Their preparation for emergency situations often makes them the civilians who first respond to medical situations or accidents. Most are concentrated in urban areas where their skills are most likely to be useful.
Before the paramedics arrived, we saw a couple perform CPR on the victim. They both had large backpacks filled with medical supplies and took control of the situation. I think they were Chameleons.
