With this unusual cell type, cheadle are capable of camouflage, a defense mechanism usually reserved for animals. These cells place the cheadle in the catergory of zooplantae, with features of both plant and animal. The cheadle can change color rapidly, much like the chameleon does by translocating pigment molecules among cells and by changing the orientation of reflective plates in the chromatophores.
