ChamAlien is a new alien that appeared in the episode Prisoner Number 775 Is Missing.
Appearance
His slim body resembles that of a large purple lizard with darker purple camo-esque spots all over his body,
and with a short tail. He has three triangular eyes: the left is blue, the right is red, and the top is green, but the red and blue eyes are the only ones that blink, while the green triangle doesn't move. The top of his head is black, with a spike-shaped fin on the back of his head. He has four-fingered hands and three toes on his frog-like feet. He also has a wide mouth with sharp teeth, and speaks in a high-pitched German accent.
Powers and Abilities
As his name suggests, ChamAlien can change the pigmentation of his skin to appear invisible. In addition, he's also very agile, quick, flexible, and slippery, making him very difficult to catch. ChamAlien can scale walls and ceilings with ease. Also, he has a long, retractable black barb that can come out of the tip of his tail.
Weaknesses
His shadow will remain visible even if he isn't, so very observant people may be able to spot him. He can also be detected by his scent, as well as his mana.

Trivia
- ChamAlien's name comes from "Chameleon," which is a type of lizard, and Alien.
- ChamAlien's image was released on the Ben 10 official Facebook page as a reward for hitting 1,000,000 fans.
- ChamAlien's eye scheme of green, blue and red is a reference to the 1953 movie "The War of the Worlds" in which the slug like aliens had the same colors as "eyes." They could also be a reference to the three primary colors of light.
- When Ben transform into ChamAlien he calls it "Overkill" instead. This was a joke because when he used Swampfire to light a fire Gwen said that it was overkill and Ben said he didn't have an alien named Overkill or he would've shouted "Overkill!"
- His appearance is similar to that of the Randall Boggs from "Monsters, Inc." and the Cheshire Cat from "Alice in Wonderland" (referring to his smile).
- The way his shadow remains visible when ChamAlien is similar to the Great Mask of Concealment from Bionicle, which has the same effect.
- ChamAlien eye colors (red and blue) are that way because of the RGB color model[[1]] which are added together in various ways to reproduce a broad array of colors. This makes sense seeing as his primary power is to blend in with his background.
- Ben scanned ChamAlien's DNA from Prisoner 775.
- ChamAlien is one of Ben's alien forms who is not in the line up of aliens in the Ultimate Intro, the others are New Alien and Ultimate Wildmutt and Clockwork. Although this is due to its existence not being known until just recently.
- It was originally speculated that ChamAlien was going to be one of the new aliens unlocked by Ben 10,000 recently, but this was proven incorrect.
