Chameleos
Eyewitness sightings of this elder dragon are extremely rare due to its ability to literally vanish; however, details of this are unclear. It is thought that shocking it may make it reappear, but this is unproven.
An Elder Dragon called the “Mist Dragon,” with the power to blend into its surroundings and vanish at will. Each of its movements is slow, but because it cannot be seen, even skilled hunters struggle against attacks from their blind spots.
