Like the rest of the Mavericks in the first game, he was previously part of the Maverick Hunters, specifically serving in the 9th Special Unit (Rangers).
In the Games
Mega Man X
Sting Chameleon debuts in Mega Man X as one of the eight Mavericks on the Stage Select screen. He is a former Maverick Hunter who joined Sigma's rebellion, and serves as the boss of Forest Stage. He is difficult to keep track of in battle and requires good reflexes to overcome, as his attacks can be unpredictable. Defeating Sting Chameleon grants X the Chameleon Sting. His weakness is the Boomerang Cutter, from Boomer Kuwanger, which is useful as it can knock him down from the walls. A boss rush rematch with Sting Chameleon later occurs in Sigma Stage 3.
Mega Man Maverick Hunter X
In the remake Mega Man Maverick Hunter X, Sting Chameleon receives a redesign but plays largely the same role as in Mega Man X, being the boss of Recon Base Ruins. He is a snide villain taking advantage of Sigma's rebellion, but also makes a suspicious comment about hostages being involved. In battle, for X he is still weak to Boomerang Cutter and yields Chameleon Sting upon his defeat, while for Vile he is weak to Cutters and yields the Laser weapon system. Chameleon's boss rush rematch later occurs in Sigma Palace 3.
Mega Man X DiVE
In Mega Man X DiVE, Maverick Data of Sting Chameleon appears as the final boss of Chapter 7 in Story Mode, being fought in Area Forest 7-6. His defeat unlocks the Chip Transparency. He also reappeared as a boss in the Event Beat the Chameleon and Jakob.
A Monster Hunter Rise crossover variant of Sting Chameleon, called Chameleos Chameleon, appeared as a boss in Event Urgent! Support needed at Shrine Ruins.

Spirit Sharp-Shooter of the Haunted Forest Sting Chameleon | |
Chameleon was a highly-skilled Hunter operating with the 9th Special Unit (Rangers), but his sly, sneaky tricks and sharp tongue left him unpopular and he was never chosen for promotion to unit leader. Never one to pass up an opportunity, he has used Sigma's uprising as a means to rise through the ranks. Now, he is grimly protective of his post as a defender of a front-line base in the jungle. |
Mega Man X DiVE Description
Before boss battles in Mega Man X DiVE, a short description of the boss is briefly shown.
Sting Chameleon | |
He was a Maverick Hunter of the 9th Special Unit. He possesses a camouflage ability that allows him to blend into any environment. Cunning and skeptical, he usually uses ambushes, traps, and other combat skills. |
