Chameloidedit
From Memory Alpha, the free Star Trek reference
Chameloids were a species of shapeshifters that some believed to be mythical. Unlike the shape shifters of the Gamma Quadrant, chameloids seem only be able to assume humanoid forms.
Starfleet officers James T. Kirk and Leonard McCoy met a chameloid named Martia during their imprisonment on the penal colony Rura Penthe in 2293. (Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country)

A non-canon source, Peter David's novel Imzadi, has a chameloid character serving aboard a future version of the starship USS Enterprise. The character is described as tall and fur-covered possibly resembling the "brute" form taken by Martia in The Undiscovered Country.
