A powerful medium scout and recon [['Mech]], the '''''Ice Ferret''''' was regarded as something of a foreign concept when it was first encountered by [[Inner Sphere]] forces. Known by the [[Inner Sphere Designation for Clan BattleMechs|code name]] '''''Fenris''''' by Inner Sphere forces, the ''Ice Ferret'' is a very capable medium scout [[OmniMech]], which is well armored and fast, and can be configured as a striker, headhunter, or as a fire-support 'Mech.<ref name=TR3050Up124f/><ref name=TR3050p22f>''Technical Readout: 3050'', pp. 22–23: "Fenris OmniMech Profile"</ref><ref name=TR3050Rp20f>''Technical Readout: 3050 Revised'', pp. 20–21: "Fenris OmniMech Profile"</ref>

Deployed extensively by [[Clan Wolf]], the ''Ice Ferret'' was actually designed to combat the pride of Clan Wolf, the ''[[Timber Wolf]]'' OmniMech. 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 (species)|ice hellion]], the [[Ice ferret (species)|ice ferret]], and altered the configurations to improve performance. The Ice Hellions maintained a large number of the "''Wolf Hunter''s" in [[Clan Ice Hellion Touman|their ''touman'']] throughout their existence.<ref name=TR3050Up124f/><ref name=TR3050p22f/><ref name=TR3050Rp20f/> However, in the early years of the [[Jihad era]], the ''Ice Ferret''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s few production facilities would end up being destroyed during the chaotic fighting in Clan Homeworlds.

*; IFR-J : ''[[MechWarrior Online]]'' Loyalty Program has a version of the J variant of the "Ice Ferret." The weapons loadout and equipment are the same. With one notable difference. The [[Supercharger]] has been switched over to a [[MASC]] Mk. II. Again, this is a non-Lore version of the current J variant.
 
 
 
*; IFR-P : Released in the August Patch as a means of compensation for purchase of the [[Clan]] Heroes Pack. The ''Ice Ferret'' P carries a complement of lasers and a missile. Three [[ER medium laser]]s and one [[ER small laser]] round out the lasers, two in the right arm and one in the left arm while the small is located in the torso. Its missile complement is a [[Streak SRM-6]] mounted next to the single ER medium laser and has two tons of ammo for reloads. An [[ECM suite]] gives this variant the means to counter other targeting systems and disrupt other ECM suites that may be present on the battlefield. As of this writing, this variant has yet to be published in any known canon.
