135. Zorse. The Zorse is a simple "Hunter combo," with the front half of one piece and the back half of another, in this case moving forward like a Zebra but backward like a Knight. (fhZbhN)

"Zorse," an obvious portmanteau of the words "zebra" and "horse," is also one of many names given to a cross-breed between the two animals; the zorse, specifically, is the product of a zebra stallion and a horse mare. (Like the mule, the zorse is always sterile.)
