Espio the Chameleon.

Espio the Chameleon is a character in the Sonic the Hedgehog series, and a member of Team Chaotix. He made his debut in Knuckles' Chaotix, for the Sega 32X, but his first Nintendo game appearance was Sonic Heroes for the Nintendo GameCube. His leader is Vector the Crocodile, and the entire group will try to earn money any legit way they can. Espio is a trained Ninja, and the most disciplined member of Team Chaotix. However, his goof-off friends end up humiliating him, no matter what they do. Espio is also a referee in Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games.

Spoiler warning: The following information contains spoilers. Please read at your own risk.

Sonic Heroes

In Sonic Heroes, Espio, Charmy, and Vector appear for the first time since their debut in 1995. Espio appears as the speed player on the team, tieing himself with Sonic, Shadow and Amy. Their gameplay as pretty much the same as other Teams, but they usually have more complicated missions to carry out, like collecting objects, or defeating all of a certain group of enemies in that level.

Shadow the Hedgehog

In Shadow the Hedgehog, Espio acts as one of the assisting characters in the game, and appears to help Shadow in Mad Matrix. Later on, he and Team Chaotix appear at the end of the game, accidentally setting off a video that gives Shadow the Hedgehog the rest of his memories from the Space Colony Arc back, giving him the confidence to defeat Black Doom. So, in a way, Team Chaotix saved the world in Shadow the Hedgehog.

Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games

In Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games, Espio appears as a referee character, along with Charmy Bee. His leader, Vector, is a playable character in the game, however. This is a big change from the larger roles he had in previous Sonic the Hedgehog Series games.
