Zhu Bajie, also known as Trư Bát Giới, is renowned for his role in "Journey to the West." This character, humorous yet brave, was once celestial, now part-human, part-pig. He embodies resilience and unconventional tactics on the chessboard, bringing a mix of humor and heroism.
Zhu Bajie uniquely blends the movements of a knight and a bishop, moving in an L-shape or diagonally up to two squares, showcasing his versatility and comical limitations.
Zhu Bajie wields the magical Nine-Tooth Rake to 'rake' pieces in a straight line towards him, symbolizing chaos and unexpected tactical shifts. This can be used once per game.
However, Zhu Bajie's powers are diminished when adjacent to a Queen. In her presence, he loses his special abilities, reflecting his notorious weaknesses and susceptibility to temptation, a unique trait that adds a layer of strategic complexity to his use on the chessboard.
