The Hippogriff is a medieval invention. I am planning to use Harpies as "Carriers". Four of them should be enough.
That's fair. (It's what I get for not reading my reference materials closely enough!)
I also need some kind of Pawns in the Water domain. Maybe, the Ships can become Boats/ Triremes, or Dolphins. I don't mind.
Fish Pawns (Standard pawn + bW) should work for Water.
Calling the Ships "Triremes" or "Transports" should appease the pedantic types.
As for the Dolphin, well, I'm not sure that's any more "mythic Greece" than a Hippogriff. (At least, not much more; I'll grant that one's a real animal and the other's an invention.)

I'm not sure what this means.
Sorry about that. The established Nereid moves like a bishop, but captures a piece by moving to the empty space beyond it.
I'm trying to simplify the game as much as possible by using the generic name "Sea Monsters" or "Sky Monsters".
What you call the pieces won't affect how simple or complex the game is. A Templar, Carpenter, Doughnut, Ouroboros, Scribe, Yar, or even Dabbaba-Knight (all names for the same piece movement) would be a better name than something as generic as "Land-Based Guy."
I neglected to suggest the Octopus earlier; that might do for the "Sea Monster."
...if you could send me a link to the Moonrider/Dayrider I may use their movments in this game if I like them.

Here are the Dayrider and Moonrider.
