In my Rose Chess XII, I used a three wheeled War Machine graphic for a piece that either moves one square orthogonally or jumps three squares orthogonally. The name and graphic might also be suitable for your 1-2-3 square leaper, the Custodian. There will always be some overlap in piece names here, in fact War Machine is more commonly used for a Wazir+Dabbabah combination.

Worth a look is Peter S. Hatch's Fantasy Grand Chess, including the Druid Army, with twenty different (mostly short range) units. There is no duplication, even for the pawn-equivalent units. One of these pieces, the Stag, is identical to my War Machine (which Greg Strong calls a Scout).
