An even stronger form of asymmetric retreat is the fairy piece the
<a href='../piececlopedia.dir/locust.html'>Locust</a> as used in
<a href='../dpieces.dir/edgehog-chess.html'>Edgehog Chess</a>. It
can only move to capture, and captures by leaping over a piece to
be captured to land on the empty square just past. Thus, while a
Grasshopper can
make a symmetrical retreat after leaping over an adjacent piece,
a Locust could only make a symmetrical retreat if a hostile piece moved
into the square it captured from.
