With thanks to the amazing but always sleeping Garust.
You can change the variant of your pet using your character level and the region your camp is in.
For example: If you tame a Deathclaw when your character is between level 71 and 80 and your camp is in the Savage Divide, Mire, or Cranberry Bog region, it will turn into a Chameleon Deathclaw.
How the process works:
When your camp loads into the server and sees that you have a pet attached to your camp, it will do a player check. It will read the level of the closest player to your camp (Ideally your character) and then it will do a region check. The game uses the numbers from these checks and then changes your pet variance accordingly.
Things to remember:
You can only change your pet copy, you can not change your original pet. It doesn't matter what region your camp is in or what level you are, the original pet you tamed will not change variant.
If another player is in the same cell as your camp when it loads in, then it will do the player check on them which can change the variant of your pet again.
Regions have level caps which can affect the variant types your pet can change into. For example, if you are level 200 and your camp is in the forest, then your pet will stay at the lowest variance because there is a region cap of level 10 in the forest.
If your pet does not turn into the variant you want immediately (but it fits the variant criteria and is a pet copy), do not panic. Make sure you are in your camp and then server-hop a few times and it will change. You must always be at your camp when you load your pet copy in or it will not change.
If you move your camp to a different region or you level up your character to be higher than the level brackets below, your pet will change to the next variant.
Once your camp and pet have spawned in, your pet variant will not change, regardless of what level players are in and around your camp. Your pet can only potentially change every time you reload into a server.
How to use this guide:
Pick the pet and variant you want and look for the player level next to it.
Use that level range to check against the region list to determine what region you will need to move or build your camp in.
Level up your character until it is in the bracket of the player-level range.
Find and tame the pet that you want. I have written a pet-taming guide that might help.
Once your pet has successfully arrived at your camp, make a copy of your pet using the Pet Taming guide mentioned above and I have also included a quick run down below.
Make sure that your character is standing next to where your camp module box will spawn, leave the server, and then come back.
Congratulations, you now have the pet variant of your choosing.
Here is a brief rundown of how to make a pet copy but I highly suggest taking the time to go over to my pet-taming guide and having a read through it for a more detailed explanation.
How to make a pet copy:
You will need two or more camp slots. You can not have any other pets assigned to those camp slots.

Hi, I'm Kat or Duchess
​
I'm an Australian data miner who writes farming, event, and food buff guides for Fallout 76.
​
I believe that all knowledge and information should be free, which is why my guides will never be locked behind a paywall. However, running a website and photo and video editing software does not come cheaply.
​​
So, If you found my guides helpful, please consider buying me a ko-fi (coffee) using the link below.
​​
All monies go towards the tools for writing my guides and maybe for an actual cup of coffee or 3 ;)
​
Alternatively, share my guides with your fellow vault dwellers and help them to survive the wasteland.
