Weird Rook strength pieces[Subject Thread] [Add Response]

Hello guys, I was thinking about obtaining other pieces of rook strength. I thought about the yafafWZ (a piece that moves at least three rook steps and may also move like a zebra) and the yafafFHC ((a piece that moves at least three bishop steps and may also move like a camel or a threeleaper). These are pieces with a steppe learning curve but I had noticed they have something to offer. Most pieces are better when centralized but these even if they lose some leaper jumps when close to they edge the gain long rays. Also, it could be argued that they don't have personality as they are leaper on one hand and a hard to use rider on the other. I am thinking about this pieces for a 12x12 game. Any thoughts?
