3. Anteater. I did come up with something to go with Aurelian Florea's comment yesterday, to be a DNY to go with the Gerbil's AFX. Mashing together "antelope" with "dababah" gives us "antebabah," and "anteater" is the closest thing I could come to that.

As with the Gerbil, Charles Gilman does have an Anteater in his list, but it's specific to hex boards.

And the piece is done in the same style (and with the same height & base diameter) as the Gerbil.

And, as with the Gerbil, I wouldn't try to use this on a board smaller than 10x10.
