* A storybook by Leo Lionni was also about a chameleon that can change colour this way. He angsts over it because he feels this means he doesn't have an identity of his own. Until he meets a lady chameleon, who explains that "we can be all different colours ''together''". D'aww.
* The protagonist of the picture book ''Chameleon Was a Spy'' by Diane Redfield Massie is capable of matching backgrounds and reproducing complicated patterns; it's a plot point that he's even capable of manipulating his pigment to form ''writing''.
* Exaggerated in ''[[Xanth|A Spell For Chameleon]]''

Line 65:
