* The '''''Corgi''''' is the third [[BattleMech]] design introduced by and so-far exclusive to ''[[MechWarrior Online]]'' (as opposed to designs taken from established [[Canon]] for the [[BattleTech]] universe).
 +
* As expected of an April Fool's product (barring two other exceptions), the ''Corgi'' by default should be considered Not-Canon. However, it may be considered by some to be "Canon" to the in-universe broadcast '''''[[The Adventures of Clan Spaniel]].'''''
 +
* Should the ''Corgi'' somehow become Canon in its existing Prime configuration, it would be subject to the Illegal Design [[Design Quirks|quirk]] due to being close to 20 tons overweight.

Weighing in at 10 tons, the [[BattleMech#Ultralight|ultralight]] ''Corgi'' makes use of all weight-saving technology available to the Clans, mounting a 100-rated [[extralight fusion engine]] which propels it to 162.0 km/h, while an [[endo steel]] frame saves weight for ten standard [[heat sink]]s. The design's defensive coverage is suitably impressive, being equal to 19 tons despite its dramatically lower weight.<ref name=MWO-C-Store>''MechWarrior Online Corgi'' Store Page</ref>

The ''Corgi''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s offensive loadout is also fearsome given the 'Mech's light weight, carrying an [[ATM-3]] in each arm in support of an [[LB 20-X AC]] in each side torso. Six tons of ATM reloads and three of LB-X rounds provide amazing endurance in the field.<ref name=MWO-C-Store/>

*; CRG-CA ''Cardigan'' : Piloted by [[MechWarrior (pilot)|MechWarrior]] Pembroke, ''Cardigan'' includes a number of unique features - the first mix-tech MWO 'Mech and the first MWO 'Mech to include non-canon weaponry. Armed with a trio of [[micro pulse laser]]s in each arm, the ''Cardigan'' also mounts an [[Inner Sphere]]-grade [[Beagle active probe]] in the left torso, a [[Watchdog Combined Electronic Warfare System]] in the center torso, and IS-grade [[Bloodhound active probe]] in the right torso. A [[Target Acquisition Gear|TAG]] in each side-torso allows the ''Cardigan'' to spot for missiles and assist in countering two or more ECM suites. The ''Cardigan''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s most unique feature, however, is its head-mounted [[Sonic Cannon]]; this so-far non-canon cannon takes up no tonnage or hardpoints and is integrated exclusively into this [[Hero 'Mech]]. This new weapon does zero damage, but its bark rate of 1.33 omnidirectional barks per second causes severe annoyance in enemy pilots. Built around the same engine and endo steel frame as the standard CRG-1, a swap to [[ferro-fibrous]] armor is intended to save weight for this unique loadout.<ref name=MWO-C-Lore>''MechWarrior Online'' Who's a Good Boy? - ''Corgi'' Announcment and Lore</ref> <ref name=MWO-C-Store/>

* MechWarrior Pembroke - One of the youngest members of Clan Spaniel, Pembroke has a reputation as a brash and scrappy warrior, taken to chasing retreating [[Great Houses|Five Evil Monkey Tribe]] 'Mechs and herd them back to face honorable combat. To aid her in her task, her ''Corgi'', the ''Cardigan'', has been extensively modified, including mounting Five Monkey active probes to allow her to showcase the superiority of Clan technology on a single chassis. Though she hopes to prove she has what it takes to one day be a [[Khan]], her tactics have definitely attracted the attention of the Five Monkey Tribes, who often send swarms of ''[[Flea]]''s to attack her.<ref name=MWO-C-Lore/>
