Imaginary chess: if you could invent a totally new piece to chess, what it could it be?

I got one: A knight that can either move like a pawn or a knight called the foal. It can still do en passant.

My piece is called the bomb. It can move one square in any direction per move, and it can explode, taking the pieces on all the squares surrounding it. It also explodes when it’s captured. It should be worth six pawns

Jester/ handmaid: the two are the same peice, except the jester is next to the queen and the maid is next to the king, the twos goal is to protect the king, they can only move in rectangles, four by two, anyway, and can capture any peice in that range, but cannot move past half point on the board, they would be protecting/support peices as their main job (as I stated would be to protect the king)

Mounted Bishop and/or Rook. They can kill an opposing piece on a square and continue forward in the same direction and stop as desired. They can only issue one kill per move. Mounted Bishop would be 8, mounted Rook would be 10 pts. The idea is they are mounted on a horse and kill with a passing blow.

The detective: starts off as either a non royal king, knight, or bishop. Whenever it moves, it can choose to “disguise itself “ and switch to any of those pieces.
