It occurred to me to think about the distinction between the compound of two monsters (to continue my proposed usage) and the monster of two compounds. The compound of the Cannon and Arrow is a familiar enough piece, but the full Grasshopper-Queen monster is a distinct piece which can also turn 45° on the cell after the Hopped piece. The Queen-Contragrasshopper monster is yet another piece, which cannot make that turning but can make one on the cell before the Hopped piece.
