If Knight moves, Grasshopper checks(illegal). If DxD, Elbow Rook has a pathway. Any King move is precluded by Flamingo or else Elbow Bishop. Moving Wazir or Elbow Bishop gives Dragon pathway(s) always combining both orthogonal and diagonal. To move one Scorpion lets in Dragon again, and the other Scorpion admits one Black Scorpion. Trying the White Grasshopper would hopelessly discover both Black Scorpions.
