Risen Chameleos is an Elder Dragon and Risen variant of Chameleos first introduced in Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak.

Physiology

Risen Chameleos' appearance is noticeably different from a standard Chameleos, now being mostly gray and black with some areas (such as its head, feet, wingarms, and tail) still being slightly purple. Its body is covered in wounds resembling burns, which have a bright orange glow upon entering its Risen state.

Behavior and Abilities

This version of Chameleos has overcome being afflicted by the Qurio and has become more powerful as a result. Its physical abilities are heightened and its poison becomes more volatile, allowing it to perform multiple new poison attacks that cover a wider area, and utilize its poison to cause massive toxic explosions. It is also considerably more aggressive with its physical attacks, such as its usage of its tongue to grab and pin hunters, and can notably turn invisible and perform attacks simultaneously.

Monster Hunter Rise

Risen Chameleos is unlocked at MR 110.

Upon entering the Risen State, Risen Chameleos will release a secondary mist that covers the area with a violetish tint.

Risen Chameleos has two ultimate attacks. The first starts with it raising its mouth to launch several poison balls onto the ground, follow by two consecutive beams of poison, and finally a wave of poison to launch forward. The second starts with it using its poison beam on the ground, before turning and using its tail slam attack to cause an explosion.

The "Hazard" Risen Chameleos found in its Anomaly Research quest and high-level Anomaly Investigations has an altered moveset:

• Its poison ball spit attack now fires two arcing poison blobs before firing one directly at the target.
• When using its strongest poison explosion attack, the explosion also sends out a ring of poison balls.
• Its body slam can now used twice in succession.
• In the Risen State, its double poison blast will be used three times instead of two.
