Does a giant chameleon animal companion get grab or a tongue attack?
If not, how exactly is its pull ability supposed to function?
Also, what is its reach?
Cannot find a Paizo source. What is your source?
That said, the internet says:
Special Attacks pull (tongue, 5 ft.), tongue. Tongue (Ex); A giant chameleon can grab a foe with its tongue and draw the victim to its mouth. This tongue attack has a reach of 15 feet. The attack does no damage, but allows the creature to grab. A giant chameleon does not gain the grappled condition while using its tongue in this manner.
Which seems fair to me.

At 4th level the giant chameleon companion gains both the pull and tongue special abilities. I don't believe "tongue" is a fully described universal monster ability so it would work as listed in the creature's Bestiary entry.
It seems to be a Large (long) creature, so as an animal companion, it probably doesn't have 10' reach as this is not specifically granted in its companion stats.

Too late to edit: I believe the Tongue special attack also grants it the grab ability as it "allows the creature to grab", as quoted by Avianfoo.
I was hoping that might be the case. I think it's reach IS 10 feet, assuming it's meant to be the same as the normal giant chameleon.
I'd probably rule the tongue ability has 15 ft-reach.
This is consistent with the description of the tongue ability of the giant chameleon (a creature who's normal reach should be 5-ft as Large(long)).
On top of this, it is consistent with the tongue ability of the giant frog (a medium creature).
Yes, 10 foot standard reach and 15 foot reach with the tongue. Is there anything that may dispute this interpretation?
