What am I?

2) I have a cartoon character named after me. This character was in a 1989 Disney Movie.

3) I am great at camouflage.

4) When I first hatch I have two eyes, one on either side of my head. After a few days, I begin to lean to one side and one eye begins to migrate to the side facing upwards. Eventually I have two eyes on one side of my head only.
