Scameleon (Skam-mee-lee-uhn) is a Normal/Ghost-type Pokémon introduced in v1.0 of Horizon 'Mons, and Wave 2 of New Dawn. It is the evolution of Kecleon

Scameleon was first conceptualised on April 17, 2025. It was publicly released on the New Dawn Minecraft Server on May 12, 2025.

Evolving has allowed it to not only become better at camouflage, but also become nearly intangible. It pulls pranks and steals food from others for fun; it will not take from Sobble due to the fear of Inteleon being nearby.

Kecleon evolves into Scameleon at a level 39.

Scameleon resembles a Chameleon. The primary color making up Scameleon is purple, with secondary colors of yellow, red, and dark purple. It has red stripes over its body. It has a frill and a dorsal fin. As well as a tail that slowly turns translucent.

Scameleon can spawn nearby gold blocks. It is a Common spawn, and can spawn at level 40-78.

Scameleon possesses the Signature Move Shadow Swipe.

• At first, Scameleon was called “Crookleon”, the name was swapped as it didn't roll off the tongue well.
• Scameleon's purple color is a reference to the Mystery Dungeon Kecleon.
• Its tail was detachable in early iterations, and it could be used as a club. This was abandoned later on as it didn't fit the character well.
• The initial pitch for Scameleon was the idea that Inteleon had a sort of villain counterpart.
• The Jackson Chameleon was a reference early on, but later on became more inspired by the Frilled Lizard.

Scameleon is based on a Chameleon and Frilled Lizard. Its purple coloring is based on the Kecleon from Mystery Dungeon. Its black eye coverings, hands, and feet are to reflect its criminal nature, resembling a mask, gloves, and boots, respectively. Its white and translucent tail is to reflect its ghost typing. Its color change ability is based on the Chameleon's ability to camouflage.

Scameleon is a combination of the words Scam and Chameleon.
