Moose Pawn in problemist language is a pawn that promotes to Moose.

Shield Archer icon is used in Man and Beast 06: The Heavy Brigade.

Magnifier is mentioned in Man and Beast 17: Hex Heavies.

Carronade is Bishop from Spacious Cannoneers.

Winged Cardinal appeared in Complete Permutation Chess as piece that moves like Bishop+Knight+Falcon. Though in problemist language Winged Cardinal is a piece moving like a Queen until it reaches an occupied square (the hurdle). Then, from that square, it moves like a Bishop which can rebound (only once) like a billiard ball when it reaches a square on the edge of the board.

There are a lot of Hydras, Hydra that's mentioned in Man and Beast 20: Far From Square, Hydra in Mutatis Mutandis which moves like any Crooked Nightrider, Hydra in Full house hexagonal chess which is Oneleaper+Threeleaper+√3-leaper+√7-leaper, Hydra in this.
