I have completed the list of Amphibian pieces out to the third perimeteer on a cubic board. I am still interested to know of any beyond that. They are as follows. Blanks indicate a cpompound that is still bound.
1 in 9 squares
1 in 27 cubes
3:0:0 Trebuchet
1 in 18 squares
1 in 54 cubes
3:3:0 Tripper
1 in 27 squares
1 in 81 cubes
3:3:3 Zombie
1 in 2 cells
1:1:0 FerzFrogPaddick
2:1:1 SextonSenetoadSeecillian
3:1:0 CamelCanetoadCaecillian
3:2:1 FortnightFonetoadFoecillian
1 in 4 cubes
1:1:1 ViceroyBullfrogNatterjack
3:1:1 ElfLeiopelmaLeptodactyl
3:3:1 UnderscoreNuiopelmaNuptodactyl
1 in 4 squares or subset

2:0:0 DabbabaToad
2:2:0 ElephantNewt
2:2:2 EunuchEft
Extending to the 4th perimeter requires adding those pieces replacing:
Ferz/Sexton/Camel/Fortnight with Nimel/Arbez/Effarig - names derived e.g. Nimel+Trebuchet=Ninetoad;
Dabbaba/Elephant/Eunuch with Cobbler/Charolais/Srene/Commuter/Nhirolais/Corpse, as yet unnamed (unless you know better).

Extending to the 5th perimeter requires adding those pieces replacing:
Ferz/Sexton/Camel/Fortnight with Zemel/Monk/Gimel/Sustainer/Votary/Epoletna names derived e.g. Zemel+Trebuchet=Zenetoad;
Viceroy/Elf/Underscore with Exorcist/Oddfellow/Fieldmouse/Feaster/Broadwayman names derived e.g. Exorcist+Trebuchet=Xeiopelma;
Trebuchet/Tripper/Zombie with Quibbler/Quitter/Skeleton., as yet unnamed (unless you know better).

Trebuchet+Quibbler, Tripper+Quibbler, Zombie+Quibbler, Trebuchet+Quitter, Zombie+Quitter, Trebuchet+Skeleton, Tripper+Skeleton are also amphibious and also as yet unnamed (unless you know better).
