Why this is the answer (spoilers)

Goatle day 26 contains Pacific Neighbors, Body in Three Letters, and Quick-Change Artists. The archive supplies 13, 16, and 15 accepted entries respectively. Each round needs five answers, so the full lists give alternatives when a familiar name is difficult to recall. Their displayed order is an archive order rather than a ranking of answer quality.

For the geography round, Canada, United States, Mexico, Guatemala, and El Salvador form an accepted set. Keep to the Americas rather than naming Pacific countries on other continents. Arm, Leg, Eye, Ear, and Lip meet the three-letter requirement in round two. The final list accepts Chameleon, Octopus, Cuttlefish, Squid, and Arctic fox among its choices. Its category includes seasonal changes as well as faster colour changes, so use the game’s acceptance set instead of imposing one biological mechanism on every entry. Check spelling and length before spending a guess.
