combination leapers


I know the bucaphale is a root-25 leaper, combining the leaper abilities 3,4 and 5,0. Is there a list of other known leaper combination pieces?

Amazon: Queen+knight
Dolphin: Grasshopper+Kangaroo
Elephant: Queen+Nightrider
Gral: Alfil+rookhopper
Marguerite: Grasshopper+Sparrow+Moose+Hamster+Eagle
Princess: Rook+Knight
Root-50-leaper: (7,1)+(5,5)-leaper
Sting: King+royal Grasshopper
Zebu: Camel+(1,4)-leaper [which probably has a name, but I can't remember it at the moment]

And there are several unnamed ad-hoc combination pieces, used in only one composition.

Wouldn't an elephant be a rider rather than a leaper?

Also maybe here are some more:

Root 50, Zebu are the combination leapers. Others are combination hoppers or riders.

Winchloe can do that! Popeye can't... at present!

Do you mean it can test any piece given the combination it has?

I would like to add to Joost De Heer,s list of lepers, the S+Locust combination. ( Sebastien Luce) has shown me a few problems using that piece (C+)

Yes, It can! There are some 10 "user-defined" pieces. The user can choose any combination of the other defined pieces for the "new" piece. Plus, there are some other options like "non-capturing", "must-capture", etc. which I haven't explored yet.
