I recently came across a record album for a group called Zebra. I didn't like the music, but it had great cover art of a Zebra Chess piece. Here is the image:
The Zebra actually exists as the SAHNG (Elephant) in Changgi (Korean Chess). Korean Chess greatly resembles Xiangqi (Chinese Chess) except in two basic ways. One of these concerns the move of the Elephant. Chinese Elephant - moves like an Alfil (but without the jumping power) - and cannot cross the river. Korean Elephant - moves like the Zebra described on this page - except that it is not a leaper : there must be an unobstructed path from the origin to the destination. Also, unlike its Chinese cousin, it is not barred from crossing the river - as there is no river.
