YMMV / Tavern of Spear

• Complete Monster: The chameleon is a cruel shapeshifter. For no reason other than their own amusement, they attempt to instigate a war between the bull and lizard tribes by kidnapping their children and framing the other for it, and depending upon Eyvind's actions, one of their villages can be wiped out and everyone in it killed. When Thane manages to track the kids down, the chameleon will attack and nearly kill him, and should Eyvind retrace his footsteps, he'll hear their cries and find them all in cages, with one skin and bones and barely hanging on. The chameleon will then approach Eyvind, disguised as Thane, to get Eyvind to drop their guard to attack him when his back is turned, at which point they'll reveal their true self and sadistically tell Eyvind that once they've killed him, they're going to do the same to all his friends while wearing his face. If he should lose to them in the ensuing battle, the chameleon will rape him, then use their blood to painfully twist his bones and contort his body into a different form before cutting out his tongue. Then, out of pure sadism, after disguising themself as him, they will kill Eyvind in front of his friends, having fooled them into believing he's a monster.
