In his 12x12 variant GANYMEDE CHESS, Mark E Hedden calls the camel+bishop piece a 'Flying Dragon'. He considers it to be 'worth a bit less then a rook' and the griffon to be 'worth almost as much as a queen'. That surprised me, until I remembered that rooks and queens promote to stronger pieces in his game, which increases their value.
