Originally named the '''''Wolf Hunter''''', the ''Ice Ferret'' was first produced in the mid-2900s by [[Clan Ice Hellion]], but performed poorly due to lack-luster weapon configurations. Annoyed by the constant Hellion harassment, but appreciating the potential of the new OmniMech, Clan Wolf warriors eventually began challenging for the OmniMech, and eventually won the production facility for the design. The Wolves renamed the design after the only natural predator of the Ice Hellion, the Ice Ferret, and altered the configurations to improve performance. The Ice Hellions would maintain a large number of the "''Wolf Hunter''s" in their touman during their existence.<ref name=TRO/><ref name=TRO3050/><ref name=TRO3050R/> However, in the early years of the [[Jihad era]], the ''Ice Ferret'''s few production facilities would end up being destroyed during the chaotic fighting in Clan Homeworlds.
