chameleon-like
Quick to transform
Chameleon-like describes the ability to change or adapt to different circumstances, like the lizard that shifts color to match its surroundings.
The word often carries a note of suspicion—someone chameleon-like may seem calculating or untrustworthy: His chameleon-like political positions made voters uneasy.
It can also simply mean versatile: a chameleon-like actor who disappears into every role.
