I've changed it to refer to acromantula

Because of its extended moves that go off in eight directions, Acromantula would be a fitting name for the piece. Aanca has the advantage of being the name used by the piece's inventor, and it might be the best known name for the piece. If we go with a different name, I'm not of the opinion that it must start with the letter A. Manticore is a fine name that pairs well with Griffin. That's why I suggested it on the Bent Riders page. I suppose I can accept any one of these three names.
