camouflager
One who blends
A camouflager is someone or something that conceals by blending into surroundings.
Military camouflagers design patterns and techniques to hide troops and equipment.
In nature, certain animals are expert camouflagers: The octopus is among the ocean's most versatile camouflagers.
The word can extend to anyone who disguises or obscures: a camouflager of intentions.
