Polypons are formed from 30°, 30°, 120° triangles. They form a subset of the polydrafters of twice the order. The pieces are confined to a triakis grid. If the pieces are allowed to break this first grid, then we can create the extended polypons, which lie within the grid of polydrafters as shown below.
