'''Chameleo Arm''' ('''Ghameleo Arm''' in the Super NES version) is a [[boss]] that appears in ''[[Kirby Super Star]]'' and its remake, ''[[Kirby Super Star Ultra]]''. It looks like a chameleon with arms (which it uses for clinging to walls), claws on the bottom, lumps on its back, and hair. It mainly moves by rolling on the ground and leaping into the air. It has a long pink tongue, whereas its body has no set col{{o}}r, possessing a different one each time the boss is challenged. It also changes col{{o}}r when attacked using the [[Paint]] ability.
