Falcon, Immobilizer, Jester?

As Jocly currently does not support Immobilizers or Jesters, it is pointless to create an opportunity for selecting those more easily...

The question is not "Do you know a piecename that starts with ...?". The question is: "which piece with a move that is supported by the standard version of Jocly (so that no custom code is needed to handle it) and no side effects (for which Jocly never has standard support) would occur in variants so often that it pays to define a shortcut for including it?".

That excludes Immobilizers (side effect), Jesters (no fixed move), Grasshoppers & Korean Cannons (non-capture hopping is not supported), Falcons (virtually never used in any variant).

The Centaur is a good suggestion. Perhaps the Steward (omni-directional Pawn).
