The character's name is Butch and they're a chemeleon - a mutated chameleon.They’re the antagonist in the short thesis film I was planning for my Master’s. (I never finished Nukeland/got my MA degree and at this point I don't think I will, for many reasons. Mainly because I don’t see the point.)You can read more about the project here, there's a very basic animatic too. 

Thank you! Hope you had a nice day!

Gotta put out the Pocohantus ghoul shirt tho

Holy shit, dude! You remember some old stuff! :O Fluffy and his flowing hair cowl...

As promised, a species guide for the CHEMeleon, as seen (or more like “to be seen”) in my animated short, Nukeland. (Props to cameronaugust for the awesome species name!) Chemeleons are a post-apocalyptic race of mutant chameleons grown to the size of a hippo (at max) with the level of intelligence similar to dogs’. They’re mainly carnivores that like to prey on the less fortunate creatures of the wasteland. Their cunning and formidability makes them the perfect hunter. When two Chemeleons meet to reproduce, they decide which one gets to lay and hatch eggs by dueling and showing dominance. The egg laying parent then chases away the weaker partner and raises 1-6 hatchlings. Separation happens from one day to another, as the "mother” quickly loses sense of parenthood and chases off its own offsprings. Chemeleons are solitary creatures who seek out each other for mating/duels only.

Rules:

you don’t have to ask me if you can make one, go ahead and do it! I would LOVE to see what you come up with! :)

if you do make one, please give credit to me for the species

Sweet! I'm sure you already know that deathclaws are FEV mutated Jackson's Chameleons? This guy here is almost scarier than a deathclaw, mostly because I can't quite see what it is or what exactly it's doing.

Yepper, Deathclaws were the main reason why I chose a chameleon as the antagonist for Nukeland. I find it a bit ridiculous that something so different from humans ended up being so anthropomorphic in the end, I mean... come on, 6-pack and fuckin’ ripped arms? (Same with Mirelurk kings tbh) I wanted a character that’s a nod to something I love but can also be interpreted in a silly way. Chameleons are pretty dang stupid looking so it was the perfect choice!
