The basic difference between the Capricorn and the Long-Nosed Goblin is the
potential promotion.

The Capricorn promotes to the Hook Mover, an orthogonal hook-move piece
and more powerful piece as it is no longer bound to a diagonal pattern.

The Long-Nosed Goblin does not promote.

The promotion potential is what often differentiates pieces of similar
initial types of moves.  This allows for particular tactics during play,
obviously making the promote-able piece more desired than the
non-promote-able.

And this applies to pieces with similar initial moves which promote to
different potential promotions.
