157. Snail. When I started here, I "invented" a piece called Snail; I later found that someone else had it, and with a move pattern better than what I'd come up with. That pattern is a normal move one space diagonally; a non-capturing move sliding two spaces diagonally; or a capture-only move sliding two spaces orthogonally.
I just wish I could remember where I found the older Snail.
At least the piece sculpture came out surprisingly well. The antennae may break if it's dropped, but it's still pretty good if I do say so myself.
