What’s the name of this structure?

Move 9 for white after castle. It’s like the hippo but the teeth are on the inside instead of being fianchettoed. I’m calling it the beaver until I hear otherwise.

Every now and then, it makes sense not to aim for the full Hippo setup - this is referred to as a "semi-Hippo".
