156. Ibis. Of the basic leapers to the fifth perimeter, only two have been named (other than by Charles Gilman or myself): the Fiveleaper, and the Ibis. Both have, to date, appeared only in fairy chess problems (as far as I know).
The Ibis follows in the line of Knight, Camel, and Giraffe; its move is a (1,5) leap. (NX) No movement diagram is available, and for such a simple move I don't think any is really necessary.
This piece may or may not actually be useful in a game on a particularly large board. (I honestly haven't tried it out yet!)
