Giraffe (chess)
The giraffe is a fairy chess piece that moves like an elongated knight.[1] When it moves, it can jump to a square that is four squares horizontally and one square vertically, or four squares vertically and one square horizontally, regardless of intervening pieces; thus, it is a (1,4)-leaper.[1]

gollark: But not really.
