- Lion move: The furious fiend can move as a lion anywhere within a two-square distance, including jumps, double capture, igui, and passing a turn.
- Limited range: It can move (but not jump) up to three free squares along one of the eight diagonals or orthogonals. (Q3NADaK)
- This is also the move of the furious fiend in dai dai shogi, and is consistent with the Edo-era sources' description of the furious fiend as "lion plus lion dog" if the lion dog is interpreted as a limited-range piece.

Japanese Wikipedia
- Lion move/triple capture: The lion dog can make a three-step lion move along any one of the eight orthogonal or diagonal directions. That is, unlike the lion itself, but like the soaring eagle and horned falcon, it is restricted to moving along a straight line and cannot move to the in-between squares. This lion power includes jumping, igui, and skipping a turn.
- A piece may be captured on all three steps.
- The lion dog may capture a piece on the first and second square, and then retreat to the first square. Or it may snatch a piece off the first square as in normal igui. (Note however that it may not then continue in the opposite direction: it is restricted to one orthogonal or diagonal.)
- It may jump to the second square, and then continue to the third square, capturing up to two pieces. Or it may jump directly to the third square.
- It is not required to take all three steps. (KavKafavK)
- This description makes the teaching king's move (lion dog plus queen) no longer pleonastic, as it is with the Western interpretation of the lion dog.
