The Elite seemed like any other in terms of its
size and physical makeup, but was made more imposing by the sleek, custom armor that covered its entire body, including a full-faced helmet with a cycloptic visor port wrapping from right to left. There was also an odd shifting in the armor's col-
oring, as if it were analyzing and adapting to its environment, the base color of the armor adjusting, changing to blend with the background, making it hard to focus on the alien's movements.

While not as effective as active-camouflage, this new chameleonlike feature definitely provided a strategic advantage.-Chpt.7 pg.186
