5. Pirate. The Pirate is similar to an existing piece, the Hippopotamus, in that it moves like a Knight but never moves except to capture. What's different about the Pirate is that it's neither White nor Black; it belongs to neither side (I think of it as Grey). Either player can move it.
In an initial setup, one or two Pirates would be placed in the middle rows of the board, in symmetrical positions. If the board is large enough, they should be in places where they can reach neither player's Pawns.
