I have missed a colourswitching Nightrider, true, but not from this
particular page. The description on the index specifies radial pieces.
Perhaps the introduction should reflect that description better. Its place
would be on the next page in the series. It needs naming with other
odd-only oblique pieces in mind. Would Nightswitcher, Camelswitcher,
Zebraswitcher et cetera do? In the meantime I have slimmed down the next
page ready to add whatever names consensus falls on.

Panda+Dabbabante is a less-blockable version of the Rook - and its
analogues in other directions a less-blockable Bishop, Queen, Nightrider
et cetera. I will give them some more thought - and of course welcome
ideas from others.
