===Grinner AKA the Wolfhound IIC===
[[File:Wolfhound IIC (Grinner) BTL.jpg|thumb|That toothy grin has seen both sides of the war between the Inner Sphere and the Clans, and killed a good amount of both as well.]]
A Wolfhound named Grinner was the personal 'Mech of Phelan Kell during the [[Clan Invasion]], and got violently disassembled on first contact with the Clans, where it famously misnamed the [[Timber Wolf]] due to thinking it was a [[Marauder (BattleTech)|Marauder]]/[[Catapult]] fusion (hence the 'Mad Cat' codename) before exploding. Kell was captured by Clan Wolf, and used his secret powers of [[Mary Sue|Protagonist-Fu]] (or more accurately the Clans' willingness for captured Mechwarrior Bondsmen to join them as per Clan tradition) to become a Mechwarrior for the Clans, resulting in the Grinner getting rebuilt with Clan-tech and becoming the sole Wolfhound IIC.

This unique 'Mech still weighs in at 35 tons, but is now built on an Endo-Steel chassis and powered by a 210-rated XL engine. Its protection is similarly improved to be 6 and a half tons of Ferro-Fibrous armor, while the number of double heat sinks is increased to 14. Its comms and targeting/tracking systems are unknown, but we do know it has an ECM suite for electronic warfare. 

Weapons-wise, its main weapon is a Series 7K ER large laser mounted on the right arm - pretty standard Wolfhound stuff, but the boosts from it being Clantech cannot be ignored. Where the Clan stuff really shines, though, is in the fact its forward torso weapons are now three Kolibri Omega Series Medium Pulse Lasers, providing a significant accuracy and range boost on those. The rear spot is still covered by a Series 2b ER medium laser. As one would expect from an IIC custom, this is essentially a straight upgrade, and served Phelan Kell well for the time he used it. Eventually though he'd swap for a Clan-original [[Executioner (BattleTech)|Executioner]] instead, around the time he became Khan of Clan Wolf-in-Exile.
