Chess Pieces

Chess Pieces are craftable objects exclusive to Don't Starve Together, introduced in A New Reign. There are eight different variants that can be crafted at a Potter's Wheel. Most need to be unlocked by giving their respective Sketch to the Potter's Wheel, but the wheel comes with 2 sketches unlocked.
Most of these pieces are for decoration only, but the Rook, Knight, and Bishop can be used to spawn their corresponding Shadow Pieces when made from Marble or Cut Stone and hammered (not mined) during a New Moon. Other nearby chess pieces of these three types made from appropriate material will similarly spring to life when the first is hammered. Eligible pieces for this transformation will rattle and shake when the moon is right for hammering. Unlike the Marble Sculptures, they cannot be activated during the Full Moon.
Chess Pieces can be carried by players in the chest slot, just like Suspicious Marble, slowing down their movement speed and preventing them from several inventory actions, such as equipping a handheld item. Riding a Beefalo allows carrying these pieces at full speed.
==Carved Hornucopia==
The sculpture depicts a Cornucopia, a horn of plenty which can be depicted as a horn-shaped, hollow bread filled with food. The shape of the horn resembles a Beefalo Horn. The sculpture may be a reference to the fact that a Cornucopia is an over-used example of pottery.
This sculpture doesn't need the Sketch to unlock and can be built at any time.
==Bubble Pipe Carving==
The sculpture depicts a Bubble Pipe which is a toy that acts similarly to a bubble-blowing stick, except it's shaped like a tobacco pipe. The sculpture is possibly a reference to Markus Raetz's pipe sculpture which can be interpreted as either a tobacco pipe or a shapeless metal blob.
This sculpture doesn't need the Sketch to unlock and can be built at any time.
==Anchor Figure==
The sculpture depicts an anchor using to stop the boat. Its Sketch can be crafted in Seafaring Tab at Think Tank.

== Events ==
Below are Chess Pieces introduced in the Don't Starve Together Events. Their Sketches are only obtainable during corresponding Events, but once players put the Sketch into the Potter's Wheel, they can be built at any time.
== Tips ==
* These structures act as impenetrable walls except to certain bosses. This can be used in the Moon Caller's Staff event to block off the Werepigs and Hounds that spawn.
== Trivia ==
* Most Chess Pieces were added in the A Little Fixer Upper update, while the Giant Figures were introduced in an unnamed Bonus Update after the completion of A New Reign. The Bee Queen, Toadstool, Antlion, Ancient Fuelweaver, and Klaus figures were added in the May QoL update.
* Based off of character quotes, it is implied that the Kingly Figure refers to Maxwell, the Queenly figure to Charlie, and the Pawn to all the other playable characters.
*Maxwell's examination quote of the Pawn Figure lampshades the lack of a Clockwork Pawn enemy by stating that he doesn't know what a Pawn is.
* The Queenly Figure used to have speech file lines referring to it having a "struggling" state, but these were later removed or commented out.
* The Moon Shard figure type as well as the Moon Moth, Anchor, and "Moon" Figures were introduced in the Turn of Tides update.
* Knight, Bishop, and Rook Figures made from Moon Shards will not spawn Shadow Pieces if hammered during a new moon. This is intentional.https://forums.kleientertainment.com/klei-bug-tracker/dont-starve-together-return-of-them/shadow-pieces-wont-spawn-upon-destroying-respective-chess-pieces-made-of-moon-shards-at-a-new-moon-night-r20548/
