We could have: F-then-R: Griffon N-then-R: Hippogriff W-then-B: Antigriff N-then-B: Monoceros There are some other possibilities with 90-degree bends: W-then-R: Ultragriff, the logical extension of the series Hippogriff -> Griffon -> Ultragriff F-then-B: Chirogriff. (Entirely new move pattern, chimera of a Bat (Chiroptera) and a Lion, with claws at the tip of its wings.) Logically the degenerate cases (which make a 0-degree bend) also belong in this class D-then-R: Ski-Rook A-then-B: Ski-Bishop
