The Chameleon is the main antagonist of Kung Fu Panda 4. She was a sorceress with the ability to shapeshift into others as well as steal their spiritual chi energy to mimic their abilities.
She is voiced by Viola Davis.
Appearance[]
The Chameleon wears a long red and green gown with Chinese ornaments. She also wears a golden crown on her casque. When she shapeshifs, her clothing expands and changes into the exact clothes that others wear when shapeshifting into them, with a slightly different coloration.
Personality[]
The Chameleon is an arrogant, cunning, devious, manipulative, ambitious, intimidating, charismatic and bitterly cynical individual who craves respect and power. She generally presents herself as calm and affable, speaking softly and politely to the Juniper City crime bosses even aften they offended her. Underneath, this facade, she is utterly ruthless, cruel and vicious. She cares about no one except herself, even using her apprentice, Zhen, as a pawn in her schemes, and desires to expand her already powerful empire across the rest of the world. Notably, she giggles sadistically when she sends Po falling to his apparent death, and later, during her final battle with Po, she tries to bite him twice, showing signs of animalistic bloodlust.
The Chameleon's evil and bitter nature and obsession with power, respect and kung fu stem from her background of being mocked and underestimated by society for her small size, and rejected from every kung fu school she attempted to attend for the same reason. Because of this, she desires to become the greatest kung fu manster in history by stealing the signature moves of every kung-fu manster from the Spirit Realm.
