What is the collective noun for Chameleon?

Answer 1

There is no specific collective noun for chameleons. The collective noun for lizards is 'a lounge of lizards', which could be used for 'a lounge of chameleons'. If that doesn't suit the situation, any suitable noun can serve as the collective noun.

By looking at collective nouns for other species such as "A Lounge of Lizards" and "A Mess of Iguanas", one finds that these particular nouns do not categorize the species on any scientific basis, rather they make generic connections based on observed behavioral patterns. Therefore logical extrapolation of this would lead to a collective noun based on the Chameleons ability to change the coloration of its skin cells. Nouns such as concealment, camouflage, illusion or ambuscade could be used when describing a collection of Chameleons. For Example: "A camouflage of Chameleons" or "An Illusion of Chameleons" would be perfectly acceptable.
