12. Zip. Also referred to as Lightning, this piece can move one or two spaces orthogonally, and then continue outward with alternating diagonal and orthogonal moves, somewhat like a lame Nightrider.

This was created by request from Lev Grigoriev for his game Horizons.

(The 2.5mm rule discussed with the Hangman applies here; the joint between the lightning bolt and the base is 3mm wide. Still, the size of the bolt may make it a bit more subject to breakage, so I may rework it to make that joint stronger.)
