In Disney's Tangled, what is the name of Rapunzel's chameleon companion?

The story behind the answer

In Disney's Tangled, Rapunzel's chameleon companion is named Pascal.

Pascal is Rapunzel's small green pet and closest companion during her years confined to the tower. Although he does not speak, his expressions, color changes, and physical reactions communicate his feelings. He acts as Rapunzel's confidant and often challenges the manipulative Mother Gothel.

Pascal's name is a reference to the pascal, a unit of pressure in the International System of Units. The character was designed to provide visual comedy and emotional support without dialogue, making his friendship with Rapunzel readable to audiences around the world.

Pascal is occasionally mixed up with other Disney animal companions. Flit is Pocahontas's hummingbird, Archimedes is Merlin's owl in The Sword in the Stone, and Meeko is Pocahontas's raccoon. None of those characters appears as Rapunzel's companion in Tangled.
