Yes, I am variant_25. As far as I understand the pieces, the Bizarre Bijections move the following way:

The Bizzarook moves as a Dabbabarider. In addition, it can change its colour by moving off the board and returning to the other side (e.g. from A7 to A2). It can continue as a Dabbabarider afterwards. This ability can be used on the rank and the file.

The Butterfly Knight moves as a cylindrical Knight, but cannot cross the vertical midline (between the D and E files).

The Lazy Alice Bishop moves as a Bishop unless it moves on the E or D files. If it moves through these files, it can move as a vertical Wazir and contiue as a Bishop towards the edge of the board in the same direction. This piece is restricted to one side of the board.

The Butterfly Queen moves as a cylindrical Queen, but cannot cross the vertical midline.
