Is there a short name for the (colourbound) Slip Bishop (referred to here
as a component of the Slip Queen) corresponding to Panda for the Slip
Rook? If not, Bear might be suitable as bears are a similar shape to
pandas but of uniform colour (including some uniformly black and some
uniformly white).
	You appear to have misunderstood the move of the Unicorn in Grande
Acedrex. As described on the page linked to, it leaves its array cell by a
Knight's move and no other, and all subsequent moves are exactly like
Bishop moves, binding it to the opposite cell colour to that on which it
starts.
