Description:
Physical Traits/Abilities


Eyes:
Their eyes are the most distinctive among reptiles. The upper and lower eyelids are joined, with only a pinhole large enough for the pupil to see through. They can rotate and focus separately to observe two different objects simultaneously. It in effect gives them a full 360-degree arc of vision around their body. When prey is located, both eyes can be focused in the same direction, giving sharp stereoscopic vision and depth perception. They have very good eyesight capable of allowing them see small insects from a long (5-10 cm) distance.

Tongue:
Mirahakari have very long tongues which they are capable of rapidly extending out of the mouth. The tongue extends out at half the speed of a blinking eye, at around 3 body lengths per second. The tongue of the Mirahakari is a complex arrangement of bone, muscle and sinew. At the base of the tongue there is a bone and this is shot forward giving the tongue the initial momentum it needs to reach the prey quickly. At the tip of the elastic tongue there is a muscular, club-like structure covered in thick mucus that forms a suction cup which is strong for offensive tactics. Once the tip sticks to a prey item that is no larger than a small animal (Roughly the size of a cat with width smaller than a watermlon), it is drawn quickly back into the mouth, where the Mirahakari strong jaws crush it and it is consumed.

Camouflage:
People born into the Mirahakri kekkei genkai have specialized cells, collectively called chromatophores, that lie in layers under their transparent outer skin. The cells in the upper layer, called xanthophores and erythrophores, contain yellow and red pigments respectively. Below these is another layer of cells called iridophores or guanophores, and they contain the colorless crystalline substance guanine. These reflect, among others, the blue part of incident light. If the upper layer of chromatophores appears mainly yellow, the reflected light becomes green (blue plus yellow). A layer of dark melanin contained in melanophores is situated even deeper under the reflective iridophores. The melanophores influence the 'lightness' of the reflected light. These specialized cells are full of pigment granules, which are located in their cytoplasm. Dispersion of the pigment granules in the cell grants the intensity of appropriate color. If the pigment is equally distributed in the cell, whole cell has the intensive color, which depends on the type of chromatophore cell. If the pigment is located only in the center of the cell, cell appears to be transparent. All these pigment cells can rapidly relocate their pigments, thereby influencing the color of the Mirahakari.
History:
The Khamaileon Clan originated from the deserts of Sunagakure which previously was mostly inhabited by various species of lizards and most prominently chameleons. The settlers who, who originally were miners who were sent into the deserts to mine for resources for the village, occupied themselves within the rocky terrain of the deserts began to study the chameleons abilities and anatomy. After years of research the settlers began to develop a mimicry of the chameleons abilities, allowing them to survive their harsh living conditions and eventually deforming them into a more monstrous appearance reminiscent of the chameleons. Unable to return to Sunagakure due to their strange appearances they began to construct homes and medical structures within caverns and adopted the lizards as religious figures, worshiping them and placing them as their clans crest. After generations of breeding and training the clan returned to Sunagakure after becoming capable of controlling their form and adapting a human camouflage skin. Now they are one of the most prominent and respected clans native to Sunagakure and still occupy the deserts, although they have established a clan center within the safety of Sunagakures walls.
Spoiler:
The Clan Crest (May Change)


Limitations: The clan cannot continuously use their camouflage ability without putting strain upon themselves, all their techniques use charka and need charka to be maintained. They cannot become invisible.
