Geravalon chameleon

These chameleons were native to the planet Geravalon.

BIOLOGY

The chameleons resembled Terran chameleons but larger. They generally had green skin and their heads had human characteristics. Much like normal chameleons, they could change their skin colour to camouflage into their surroundings. However, absorption of DNA of other organisms could cause a chameleon to become a member of that species. (DWS: Kiss of Life)

HISTORY

When one chameleon drank the blood of a human prince, Rodrique, she became a human called Sastra. She was mistaken for a slave girl by local man Padros, and later fell in love with Rodrique. When her body began to mutate and change, the Doctor realised that she was in fact a chameleon native to the planet. To keep her alive, she would require a dayly transference of human DNA, which Rodrique agreed to provide with a kiss, transferring DNA genetic information to her body through his saliva.
