I have made extensive use of the Camel in exactly the way that ARM
describes. In Bacheloe Kamil, a cross between Bachelor Chess anmd
Wildebeest Chess, th non-array compound of Knight and Camel has the same
special properties as that of Rook and Bishop. In Ecumenical Chess, a
cross between Wildebeest Chess and the Carrera-Bird-Capablanca family, I
have the two pairs of simple piece and every compound of two, including
two of the Bishop+Camel compound (called a Caliph) bound to opposite
square colours. I describe that piece as 'weak for a compound piece but
strong for a colourbound one'.

I have just submitted a new variant, Carnival of the Animals, in which
dice mutate the FIDE Knights into other leapers with coordinates of up to
5.
