==History==
===Kinyonga's spy mission===
When Thurston overheard an invisible Kinyonga speaking to him, he believed her to be a talking rock and screamed in fright. Upon arriving at the scene and hearing Thurston's claims, the Lion Guard expressed their doubts. However, Twiga reported a similar phenomenon with a tree that had talked to her, and they resolved to investigate the situation.
In examining Thurston's and Twiga's claims, the Lion Guard encountered Kinyonga the chameleon. Though at first fearful of the Lion Guard, Kinyonga eventually revealed herself to them and explained her camouflage abilities. Kion warned her to be careful with her camouflage, as she was frightening other animals, and she promised to do her best not to scare anyone else.
As the Lion Guard walked away, they discussed Ono's failed attempt to spy on the Army of Scar, and Kinyonga volunteered to use her abilities to spy for them. Kion was hesitant to put Kinyonga in danger, but she pointed out that she had ventured unnoticed into the Outlands before. This, at last, convinced him to accept her offer.
Alone and camouflaged, Kinyonga snuck into the Outlands and overheard Scar ordering Janja, Cheezi, and Chungu to block up the river at Hakuna Matata Falls. At that moment, Shupavu spotted Kinyonga's shadow, and Ushari ordered the skinks to apprehend her. Ono happened to spot the skinks chasing Kinyonga, and the Lion Guard raced into the Outlands to save her.
After the rescue, Kinyonga informed the Lion Guard of Scar's plot, and they hastened to Hakuna Matata Falls to prevent Janja, Cheezi, and Chungu from blocking up the river. As the Lion Guard chased the hyenas out of the Pride Lands, a camouflaged Kinyonga suddenly appeared in front of the hyenas and scared them into falling into the river. Ashamed, she fled the scene.
Later, the Lion Guard noticed Thurston talking to a rock and deduced that it must be Kinyonga. They approached her and asked why she had disappeared at Hakuna Matata Falls, to which she explained that she had broken her promise to not scare any more animals. She then vowed to never scare anyone ever again. Just then, Thurston noticed Kinyonga without her camouflage and fled in terror. As the Lion Guard chased after him to calm him down, Kinyonga once more became invisible and walked away.
