================================================================================================
Overview:
    Taking inspiration from Clan designs is nothing new.  The Rakshasa and Blackhawk KU are top
    examples.  Even the Bushwacker uses lessons learned from the Vulture.  The Hydrophobic
    Mongrel is rather pointedly based on the Rabid Coyote.

Capabilities:
    The Rabid Coyote is a good second line mech.  You never hear about them anymore.  The design
    never really caught on, and once Homeworld space was closed off there was no source for
    them.  Apparently someone in Comstar was taking notes at least.
    
    The Hydrophobic Mongrel is conceptually a direct port of the Rabid Coyote using Inner Sphere
    technology.  Same speed, giant missile rack, lasers.  To pull this off required compromises.
    The engine is the more expensive Light variety.  The Missile rack is an MRM 40,  which can
    put out damage but are notoriously inaccurate.  And the lasers are old fashioned.  The
    mitigating factor that helps bring the accuracy on par with its Clan progenitor is the
    inclusion of the C3i system.
