Need examples of invertible operators on real finite-dimensional vector space without squareroots

As per the title, having trouble googling for such examples, I know from my textbook that the operator of multiplication by $-1$ on $R^n$ Has no squares roots, just wanted more examples to have an intuition or see if theres any sort of pattern of invertible operators on real finite-dimensional vectors spaces without square roots.
