==Description==
 
==Description==
The '''''Horned Owl''''', or ''Peregrine'' as the [[Inner Sphere]] [[Inner Sphere Designation for Clan BattleMechs|designated]] it, is a [[BattleMech#Light|light]], fast second-line [[BattleMech]] capable of highly accurate fire. It was designed by [[Clan Goliath Scorpion]] as a rugged submersible construction ’Mech and was later rebuilt for combat<ref name=rg11p6>''Recognition Guide: ilClan, vol. 11'', p. 6</ref>. A harassing platform, the ''Horned Owl'' is also a capable dueling 'Mech. Five tons of [[ferro-fibrous]] armor provide adequate protection for the light 'Mech.

The '''''Horned Owl''''' (or ''Peregrine'', as the [[Inner Sphere]] knows it) is a light, fast second-line [[BattleMech]] capable of highly accurate fire. A harassing platform, the ''Horned Owl'' is also a capable dueling 'Mech. Five tons of [[Ferro-Fibrous]] armor provide adequate protection for the light 'Mech.
 
 
Due to its streamlined non-threatening appearance the Horned Owl is well suited for guard duties in civilian areas. This feature is also the reason why this mech is sometimes mistaken for lightweight security mech despite being fully capable military tool.<ref>''Technical Readout: 3055'', p. 118, Peregrine</ref>

*; ''Horned Owl'' 2 : This variant trades in its lasers for six [[LRM-5]]s and four tons of ammunition. Though it is entirely ammunition-dependent, this model can provide light Stars with sustained support, as it will not build up heat under normal circumstances. BV (1.0) = 1,232<ref name=CO/>, BV (2.0) = 1,191<ref>''Record Sheets: 3055 Upgrades Unabridged'', p. 183</ref><ref>''Recognition Guide: ilClan, vol. 11'', p. 26</ref>

*; ''Horned Owl'' 3 : Unlike the 2, this variant returns to a design similar to the original. In place of the [[large pulse laser]] there is an [[ER PPC]] tied to a [[targeting computer]], allowing this variant to snipe efficiently. In place of the [[medium pulse laser]]s are two trios of [[light machine gun]]s, allowing the design to deal with infantry should it need to. BV (1.0) = ?, BV (2.0)=1,545<ref>''Record Sheets: 3055 Upgrades Unabridged'', p. 184</ref><ref>''Recognition Guide: ilClan, vol. 11'', p. 27</ref>
 
 
 
*; ''Horned Owl'' 4 : Almost a complete redesign, the ''Horned Owl'' was redone by [[Clan Goliath Scorpion]] after they took over the Abysmal continent on [[Huntress]]. The 'Mech is no longer so neatly rounded, but it makes up for that with four [[ATM-3]]s and an [[ER medium laser]]. Three tons of ammunition allow the pilot access to all of the ATM's modes of fire, and it runs cool. BV (1.0) = 1,241, BV (2.0)=1,198<ref>''Record Sheets: 3055 Upgrades Unabridged'', p. 185</ref>
 
 
 
*; ''Horned Owl'' 5 : Ironically, the Scorpion's first attempt at redesigning the ''Horned Owl'' was not well received by their Warrior caste, but an all-energy version is ideal for their Seekers. Armed with an [[ER large laser]] in each arm and a center-line [[heavy medium laser]], this model can essentially operate indefinitely, though its [[MechWarrior (pilot)|pilot]] must be wary of heat buildup, despite the added [[double heat sink]]. BV (1.0) = ??, BV (2.0) = 1,523<ref>''Record Sheets: 3055 Upgrades Unabridged'', p. 186</ref>
 
 
 
*; ''Horned Owl'' 6 : This model of the ''Horned Owl'' carries a [[large pulse laser]] and two [[medium pulse laser]]s. The [[jump jet]]s have been removed and replaced by a [[targeting computer]]. BV (2.0) = 1,413<ref>''Recognition Guide: ilClan, vol. 11'', p. 28</ref>
 
  
*; ''Horned Owl'' 7 : Also known as the ''Shimafukuro'', this variant reduces the top speed to 86 km/h and uses a [[Partial Wing (BattleMech)|partial wing]] to jump 210 meters at a time. A [[light TAG]] system is mounted in the head, and each arm carries a [[medium pulse laser]], but the main firepower comes from an [[ER large laser]]. All the weapons are tied into a [[targeting computer]]. BV (2.0) = 1,725<ref>''Recognition Guide: ilClan, vol. 11'', p. 29</ref>

*;''Horned Owl'' 3 : Unlike the 2, this variant returns to a design similar to the original. In place of the [[Large Pulse Laser]], there is an [[ERPPC]] tied to a [[Targeting Computer]], allowing the variant to snipe efficiently. In place of the [[Medium Pulse Lasers]] are two trios of [[Light Machine Guns]] allowing the design to deal with infantry should it need to.

* In German products, the unit's proper Clan name was translated to '''Uhu'''. The unit's proper Inner Sphere name was altered to '''Frostfalke''', which literally means ''Frost Falcon''. This was supposedly done to prevent a mix-up with the [[Peregrine (Combat Vehicle)|Peregrine]] VTOL.
 
* Author [[Ashley Watkins]] stated in a [https://web.archive.org/web/20231121234813/https://panther6actual.blogspot.com/2015/10/technical-read-out-3055.html blog entry] that she designed stats and wrote background for ''Peregrine'' as originally published in ''TRO:3055''.
