If You Could Add A New Piece To Chess, What Would It Be?

Tar-baby.

Any enemy piece that it moves adjacent to, or any enemy piece that STOPS next to it gets stuck and cannot move.

... so it can only be captured by a long-range piece (Knight, Bishop, Rook, Queen) and not by a Pawn or a King (because they would get stuck as they came adjacent).

the dragon should be able to fly and land in any vacant spot. Or maybe that can be a jumping chicken instead.

A piece called the jester that can move like the previous piece. For example if ur opponent moves his/her queen,the jester can move like a queen

A piece that can identify as any other piece with the ability of any piece at any time. You cant ever prepare for or against it because your opponent can just change their mind on a whim at any time. For example, you place a rook on a square where you think its safe from capture... BAM!... u just got ur rook captured because the last time that piece moved it moved like a bishop but now magically it's a knight. Too bad. So then u figure it would be a good idea to assume the new piece can move like a knight too. Nope, ur opponent just changed their mind again & now it just moves like a queen. Just whatever they feel like. And don't ever complain or even say anything either, u might get banned from playing chess completely. I'm not sure what to call it, maybe y'all can think of a name for it.

or....wait....think about it....hear me out...a pawn that turns into a king

MaxCheeze

Since chess seems to be medieval related, I would add a catapult, which attacks a square three moves ahead to any direction. Basically like a bishop but it only takes in the square it lands on.

I would add a minefield.It can only move one square but It can destroy everything near it
