80. BWND. Just as yesterday's piece was the rotary companion of a previously-listed piece, so is today's. As a companion of the NARF, the proper pronunciation of this pieces name is "booned," though thanks to Ben Reniger it can also be pronounced "bwained," especially if the NARF is on the board.
True to its name, the BWND combines the moves of the Bishop, Wazir, Knight, and Dabbabah: it can slide diagonally any distance, move to an adjacent orthogonal space, or leap two spaces orthogonally or like a Knight. (BWND)
Both are powerful pieces on an 8x8 board, though on a larger board their influence approaches those of the Dragon Horse and Dragon King.
For its appearance, I do think I need to work on the forehead so it looks more like a bulging forehead and less like a pompadour.
