Kamelion

A silver android shapeshifter designed by the Master from Xeriphas technology, Kamelion can perfectly mimic voices, faces, and forms with seamless fluidity. Its metallic exterior gleams under torchlight in the King’s Chamber as it contorts between the Doctor and the Master, demonstrating its ability to rewrite identities in an instant. The android’s presence carries the cold precision of a weapon, its movements precise and controlled, betraying no trace of independent will when obeying the Master’s psychokinetic commands.
