*In The Flame Keepers' Circle, Chamalien snuck into a building controlled by the Flame Keepers' Circle.

==Naming and Translations==
==Etymology==
Chamalien's name is portmanteau of "chameleon", an animal capable of changing its color, which alludes to his ability to camouflage himself, and "alien", a reference to Chamalien being an extraterrestrial life form, as well as a transformation.
==Trivia==
*Chamalien speaks with a light German accent.
*When Ben first transformed into Chamalien, he named the form Overkill as a joke. In Night of the Living Nightmare, his name Chamalien was first mentioned, albeit in Albedo's nightmare, meaning his real name has never been acknowledged by Ben himself.
*When asked what kinds of features Chamalien's helmet has, Derrick J. Wyatt compared the spectrum-wide visions to those found in helmets worn by Yautja.
*Chamalien was revealed in a picture released on the Ben 10 Facebook page on April 17, 2011, as a reward for hitting 1,000,000 fans.
*Chamalien had concept art drawn by Glen Murakami. His final design was created by Glenn Wong, with color styling by Chris Hooten.
*In Universe vs. Tennyson, it was initially planned that Ben would use Chamalien to spy on Chadzmuth, but the whole scene was eventually dropped as the story was changed.
**As a result of this, Chamalien and Fasttrack are the only regular aliens introduced in Ultimate Alien who do not appear in Omniverse.
**Had Chamalien appeared in Omniverse, Derrick would have chosen Dee Bradley Baker to reprise his role.
*There were no plans to feature Chamalien in the reboot.
