Overview: So far observed only in Ghost Bear garrison Clusters, the Grizzly is a multirole heavy 'Mech that shares design concepts with Clan Ghost Bear's two favorite Omnis, the Mad Dog and the Executioner. Though slower than other 'Mechs in its class, the Grizzly makes up for its lack of speed with jump jets and effective long-range weapons. Though the Grizzly is a unit with many potential uses, it has thus far failed to find a niche among the Ghost Bear forces, in part because it lacks the focus of its parent designs on a single combat role.

Capabilities: Ghost Bear Provisional Garrison Cluster commanders use the Grizzly for roles that other Clans tend to fill with Summoners and Hellbringers. The 'Mech's heavier armor and standard engine give it a much higher survival rate than the Summoner and Hellbringer models, which is fortunate because it is difficult to repair. The Grizzly has layers of sloped armor that tend to lodge in place when damaged, and its bulky leg actuators are apparently unique and hard to obtain.
The Grizzly is jump-capable and mounts a deadly array of weapons, featuring a massive Gauss Rifle in the right arm. The 'Mech's left arm sports a trio of Pulse Lasers similar to but smaller than the array featured in Configuration D of the Executioner. The 'Mech's long-range firepower is supplemented by a ten-pack of Long-Range Missiles in the right torso.

Deployment: Though the Grizzly has been in service for more than a hundred years, it apparently has never been a popular design. Hundreds of these 'Mechs are still on active duty in Ghost Bear PGCS, even though the Grizzly has not been manufactured since 3013. These numbers are a strong testament to the Grizzly's excellent survivability rate in combat. Grizzlys are scattered throughout the Ghost Bear occupation zone.
