My previous comment needs clarification. When I said that the Gnu 'can lose the move, unlike its components', I had a square 2d board in mind. On a 3d board the Camel itself can lose the move, though no faster than the Bison. The Knight cannot even lose the move in 3d, nor can any root-odd elemental leaper, but root-even ones can if their leap does not pass through the centre of a cell of the other Bishop colour, e.g. Ferz and Alfil but not Dabbaba. Note that Unicorn colourbinding is irrelevant as a cell on a 3d board is orthogonally adjacent to cells of all three other Unicorn colours.
