Viper and 111. Cobra. This is a pair of pieces I found in H. G. Muller's Minjiku Shogi, and of course I loved them as soon as I saw them. The Viper slides diagonally like a Bishop, but also can rifle-capture to an adjacent orthoganal space. Similarly, the Cobra slides orthogonally like a Rook, but also can rifle-capture to an adjacent diagonal space. I only hope that the piece designs here do them justice at some level.
