The Gazelle is a pretty standard name for the knight/zebra compound.
There are many pieces not mentioned in Piececlopedia.
If you have Zillions of Games, download my game 'Piece Promotion Games 2', it has the Gnu, Bison and Gazelle in it's variants. Zillions rates these pieces as follows ..
Gnu 16,338
Gazelle 15,245
Bison 14,316.
Also you can see the Buffalo (knight/camel/zebra) and Squirrel (knight/dabbaba/alfil) in this game.
