| rdfs:comment | - The Calrissian chameleon was a reptile native to Calrissia. In 2164, a Calrissian chameleon was among the pets tended to, and owned by, Doctor Phlox aboard the Federation starship USS Endeavour. On March 24th, Phlox was feeding the chameleon when Commander Aranthanien ch'Revash entered sickbay to lunch with the doctor. (ENT - Rise of the Federation novel: Tower of Babel)
- Doctor Phlox kept a female Calrissian chameleon among his menagerie aboard the Enterprise until 2152, when he needed to use its pituitary gland to save the captain's pet, Porthos. Phlox joked that after the surgery, Porthos would be able to blend in with his environment. (ENT: "A Night in Sickbay") In the final draft script of "A Night in Sickbay", the only physically description of the Calrissian chameleon was that it be a foot long.
- The Calrissian Chameleon is a small reptilianoid creature whose external appearance is virtually identical to that of an Earth chameleon. It also shares the Earth chameleons' ability of changing colors to match the environment. A Calrissian Chameleon's pituitary gland is similar enough to that of a Beagle to allow for medical transplants between the two. It secretes a rare toxin that is very useful for treating respiratory infections.
