José Francisco García Cruz (born August 12, 1993) is a Mexican luchador, or professional wrestler, who works under the ring name Chamuel. He works for the Mexican Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL) promotion where he portrays a heel (known as a rudo in lucha libre, the antagonists of professional wrestling). He is one of the competitors in CMLL's Micro-Estrella ("Micro-Star") division where he competes with and against other wrestlers with dwarfism. His ring name is based on Camael, the archangel of strength, courage, and war from Christian and Jewish mythology.
From his début in 2012 until 2017, he worked primarily on the Mexican independent circuit as a mascota and with occasional tag team partner Henry, portraying an "evil doll" in the style of Chucky. In 2017 he joined CMLL and in 2019, as part of the CMLL 86th Anniversary Show, he lost his mask to Microman. He is the first holder of the CMLL World Micro-Estrella Championship.
