@Bob for the Rooks: it's quite different. In chess, Rooks indeed cannot develop in the early phases, but this is part of the game, the game is not as long as a giant chess and castling is releaving this issue. In this giant chess, it is really more pleasant to have Ships and Snakes developping quickly because the board is very large and those are sliding pieces, not leaping ones with a short range, so they can attack very quickly.

@Bob for the Sabertooth: thanks. I pay a lot of attention in the homogeneity of my set, the relative sizes, and also the manufacturability. Your piece would not fit as is, but I could be interested by the head only, isolated, to make a try. That being said, I regret a bit the name I gave to this piece because with the Lion and the Cheetah I have already two felines. For sake of clarity and playability, a monster Wolf is preferable.
