151. Little Elephant. and 152. Little Tiger. These two pieces first appeared (without the word "little") in Greg Strong's game Cataclysm, and subsequently borrowed for my own Short Sliders (and the Leapers Who Love Them) (again, as just Elephant and Tiger). I added the word "little" for purposes of my piece list because other pieces exist by the same name with more powerful moves, but it's really only needed if the same game has another type of piece by that name. (Alternatively, they can be the Strong Elephant and Strong Tiger.)
The Little Elephant moves up to four spaces diagonally, or one orthogonally. (B4W)
The Little Tiger does the opposite: it moves up to four spaces orthogonally, or one diagonally. (R4F)
I can see many cases where these two pieces can be fun to have around; they're versatile, but not overly powerful.
