That predecessor belongs to a family of patterns with a certain property.
The common property is that
* the pattern is a polyplet that consists of diagonally touching one-cell-thick rectangles,
* the pattern always goes either down or to the right when you "read" it (and never goes left or up),
* by drawing diagonals of all one-cell-tick rectangles to make a single polygonal chain, the resulting chain always turns in the same direction when you "read" it.

Here are some examples (top row) and non-examples (bottom row):
