The King- Lose the King and you are done for. Cannot move and nothing can block it.

Worst? Confined to the context of chess, the worst possible piece (for the player of its own color) would be one which causes immediate loss automatically. Not confined to 'worst' in a chess sense, it would probably be a piece made of antimatter.*
Most useless? A piece with literally no utility, negative or positive... call it the DITG (for Dragon In The Garage). It's invisible, inaudible, incorporeal, etc. Heck, it's even unfalsifiable, as you can't prove or disprove its existence! Who knows, you could be playing with it every game (although the probability of that is quite low).
*My physics knowledge is not up to par, so correct me if I'm wrong. Is there a more destructive possibility? A piece dense enough to create a singularity, perhaps?
the rock, sits there, cannot be captrued.

The tax collector. it remains on e4 square and makes you pay 9.99$ per turn if you occupy this square with one of your pieces
The Puny. Can't move either, just sits there and is so small you can't even locate it.

The MGleason. Whenever a tense position is on the board, it is put into a room and the door is locked forever.
A piece looking like R2D2, is only allowed to move when the king is getting checked and then only diagonal in a L-Shape
The Quing. This piece combines the movements of the queen and the king, but cannot move any number of spaces, nor one square in any direction; it must move the same number of squares as the opponent made on his last move if it has any legal moves; if it has no legal moves, you must pass your turn and say the word, "Quing!"

The ilikewindmills. It just sits in one place and spins its arms around.
The MacPherson as a queen replacement.
Looks gorgeous and can move in any direction but limited to only one field of moving.

Reminds me of how the mime works in the game final fantasy tactics.

The Priest. Moves like a King. Replacing the c-Bishop, it converts selected adjacent piece into a Priest whenever it moves.
The Preet. Refuses to be sacrificed.
How about the invisible piece. It changes its position after each move but the thing is no one knows where it is because it is not visible. It cannot be seen, it cannot capture other pieces and you can place your own pieces on its square and your opponent can also place his pieces on its square. I call it "The Invisible Man."
