The Pillbug in Hive moves one space at a time like many other pieces, but it also has a special ability that can be used instead of its regular movement. This special ability allows the Pillbug to move an adjacent piece—whether friendly or enemy—by lifting it two spaces: first, up onto itself, and then down into another empty space adjacent to the Pillbug. This unique ability can be used strategically to reposition key pieces or disrupt your opponent's plans, making the Pillbug a versatile and powerful piece in the game.
