A character can join them. You could put a sknink Chief in there, for example. He would gain the skirmisher rule, but not the -1 to hit. Another problem is that you could not deploy him as a scout. He would have to run across the field to join the unit.

There no point at all putting a chief in a chamelon squad get oxytol or just use regular skirmishers, its just a waste of points otherwise.
I too thought of this idea after not wanting to pay 160 pts for Oxy but hit abilty is quite good espcialy against high elf wizards
(the information above should give enough reasoning for this)
