Piececlopedia: Pushme-Pullyu. Moves like a Queen, and captures by approach and withdrawal.[All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]

A Knight-Camel chimera seems a very odd choice for a Push-Me Pull-You, which neither moves like a Knight nor a Camel.

A Push-Me-Pull-You has a head on each end, which this piece is used to illustrate. Two opposing llama heads would be most accurate, but I don't think we have any llama pieces. Someone has made a Push-Me-Pull-You piece that combines two images sometimes used for the Withdrawer and the Advancer in Rococo, but no one has made an SVG version of this piece.

I was talking about SVG pieces. So far these were only used as input for rendering scripts.

That's no longer true. Game Courier can use SVGs directly.

The browser on my tablet wouldn't render them if I used them directly (as I did in one of the Comments below).

Yes, some browsers do not support SVGs, but modern browsers on up-to-date devices do. That's why Game Courier has started to allow their use.
