The Stick Bug
Written rules text (BGG item description):
May move either by rotating (pivoting keeping one end in place) OR By moving the whole unit so one of its edges would have touched itself in its previous position Can not land on units, but can land in confined spaces with half (or more) of itself inside Can pick it up with rotating or moving (so fit through is not an issue, but can't unlink the hive)
