Proselyte looks a good idea - and the initial P of Panda is a useful
mnemonic. Now what analogous name could there be for the 120° and 60° hex
ones, the 90° Crooked Bear (alternating between Angel subsets of two
Gryphon moves) and the 120° and 60° cubic ones of that, and the 90°
compound?

If you use your browser's search facility to find EMD and Anchorite on
this page you will see that EMD is Even Move Direction - the direct
direction to a normal Crooked piece's alternate destinations - and
Anchorite is a piece name devised to sound similar to Aanca but without
duplicate the meaning of Gryphon. You will also find the Angel of this
comment's first paragraph - a Gryphon restricted to colourbound moves.
