Board and Pieces (a compendium of abstract board games compiled by James J. Bonda, a bookaholic librarian from Richmond, Indiana, United States) says that Camel is a (1,3) hippogonal leaper which suggests that hippogonal isn't limited to (2,1) Nightrider-line. I like both names. What if the one that can jump is called Zurafa, but the darter one is called Hippogriff?
