The Nao is a rarer fairy chess piece that moves like a nightrider, but when capturing has to hop over a piece. It is currently only used in some chess problems.

Diagram

The Nao can either move to squares marked with a black dot, or capture the Queen at f8 by hopping over the queen at e6. It can not capture the rook at c2.
