Here are some ideas for enlarged-move Squirrels. Some cover more ground over square cells, others use boards with different cells. <blockquote> Beaver (larger rodent of same sub-order): 3:0, 3:1, 3:2, and 3:3 combined leaper. </blockquote><blockquote> Hexirrel (Hex piece like Squirrel): Dabbaba combined with root 7 and root 12 leapers, on a hex board. </blockquote><blockquote> Cubirrel (Cubic extn. of Squirrel): Squirrel+Sexton(2:1:1)+Ninja(2:2:1)+Eunuch(2:2:2) on cubic-cell board. </blockquote><blockquote> Frairrel (Frame-only form of Cubirrel): Elephant+Ninja+Eunuch only on cubic-cell board. </blockquote>
