Dihedralizing the quaternions

In this paper, we take the classic dihedral and quaternion groups and explore questions like “what if we replace $i=e^{2\pi i\mathrm{/}4}$ in $Q_8$ with a larger root of unity?” and “what if we add a reflection to $Q_8$?” The delightful answers reveal lesser-known families like the dicyclic, diquaternion, semidihedral, and semiabelian groups, which come to life with visuals such as Cayley graphs, cycle graphs, and subgroup lattices.
