Cutty Camels

This army for Chess with Different Armies is based around the moves of the Camel.

Setup

The pieces other than King & pawns are replaced with other pieces. In place of the Rooks there are two Camel-Ferz compounds named Wizard. In place of the Knights, there are two Fibciws, in place of the Bishops are the Charging Camels, & in place of the Queen is the Button Mushroom, the compund piece of Mushroom and Rook.

Pieces

Wizard (LF) The Wizard moves as a Camel or as a Ferz. Fibliw (fbLW) The Fibciw moves as a narrow Camel or as a Wazir. Charging Camel (fhCbsWbF) The Charging Camel moves as a forward half Camel or as a backward half sideway King. Button Mushroom (RfbNfsLbF) The Button Mushroom moves as a Mushroom or as a Rook.

Rules

Castling: -Cutty Camels can castle as long the King doesn't move into or out of Check. -When the Cutty Camels castle Queen-side, O-O-O, their CF moves from a1 to c1 and their K moves from e1 to b1. Against Clobberers: -The Clobberers must use their alternate setup when playing against the Avians, else they suffer from their undefended a7/h7.
