The idea of one Cannon capturing only to light and one only to dark squares is an interesting one. It is more complex than a twice-Pawned Rook capturing only on the colour thst it happens to be on, or a Panda-style-capture Rook capturing only on the other colour. The idea can easily be further extrapolated to two other pairs. One pair would be Rooks (i.e. no intervening piece) similarly restricted. Another would be a Cannon that has to Hop a piece on a light square, and one a piecee on a dark square.

The Man and Beast series offers a way of constructing names for some of the pieces mentioned by Jeremy Lennert and George Duke, but they are spread over pages 19 and 21 as well as 16. I could make it more explicit. For example, a Rook capturing as a Knight is a Caddied Stewapacifier, and a Queen capturing as a Knight is a Caddied Ajaxrider Ferz. I will work out the rest and add them explicitly to the relevant page.
