==Description==
The '''Carnivore''' Assault Tank is a [[Dark Age|post-Jihad]] design produced by [[Clan Wolf]] as part of their efforts to rebuild [[Clan Wolf Touman|their ''touman'']].  Produced [[3082]] on [[Weingarten]], the Carnivore was designed to provide ranged fire support for Clan Wolf troops.  When it was designed, the Clan's leadership specified the vehicle must use existing production parts used in other Clan vehicle and 'Mech production to ease cost and construction.  After its introduction, it would be traded to neighboring Clans and even Inner Sphere powers for additional supplies and equipment.<ref name="TRO:3085p140+"/>

The Carnivore was designed with lessons learned from turbulent realities of the modern battlefield after the Jihad.  Clan scientists included a [[Guardian ECM Suite]] as part of the tank means to handle the Inner Sphere's usage of advanced electronic equipment. The Tank uses 15.5 tons of Advanced/3 [[standard armor]] to protect its [[XL fusion engine]] and other vital equipment.  The vehicle's ammunition is also protected with [[CASE]].<ref name="TRO:3085p140+"/>
