42. Piglet Pawn. The Piglet Pawn moves, with or without capture, one space diagonally forward; or may move without capture diagonally or directly backward (it's timid, but not as bad as the Chicken Pawn from earlier). For an opening move, it may leap forward diagonally two spaces (fFmbFmbWifA)

This is the first time I've named a piece after a specific character: Piglet, from A. A. Milne's Winnie-the-Pooh books. It is, in fact, intended for Hundred Acre Chess, a variant inspired by those stories (I'd provide a link, but it's still currently under construction), and is the only piece in that game specifically built for it. (All the others either existed already, or were designed around some other feature.)
