Designer Notes
The Mauler Ferret is not strictly speaking an "official" variant of the stubby little Northern scout. Rather, it is a strange dueling field modification that has gained a significant amount of fame and recognition on the Khayr ad-Din underground circuit. A Mauler Ferret invariably starts life in an underground "chop shop"; be it battlefield salvage or a brand new model stolen on a Northern Guard base a cycle ago, it does not matter. All weaponry and unnecessary electronic systems are first removed to save on weight, making the machine more mobile. The Gear and its actuators are then finely tuned up, boosting the Ferret's otherwise poor maneuverability into something more acceptable. Finally, the replacement of one of the Gear's manipulators by a fearsome Mauler Fist adds some spice to the design. The Fist's grinding and whirring spiked wheels are powered by their own independent motor and are quite capable of crushing armored plates between their carbide teeth.
