not chameleon.
蜴 is in fact used in other words, but has no specific meaning.
"shorty (contemptuous term for short person)" would give the impression that the editor is very familiar with this char being used colloquially; likely it is a complete misinterpretation of sth like:
蜥 xī: 蜥蜴 [lizard]。... 比喻人格卑鄙的小人 (that is, 蜥蜴 does)

Editor: That one qualifies as a howler.
Diff:
- 蜥 蜥 [xi1] /see 蜥蜴[xi1 yi4], lizard/shorty (contemptuous term for short person)/chameleon/Eumeces latiscutatus/
+ 蜥 蜥 [xi1] /see 蜥蜴[xi1 yi4]/
- 蜴 蜴 [yi4] /see 蜥蜴[xi1 yi4], lizard/chameleon/Eumeces latiscutatus/
+ 蜴 蜴 [yi4] /see 蜥蜴[xi1 yi4]/
