The '''''Cyllaros''''' is a medium hybrid [[combat vehicle]]/[[BattleMech]] known as a [[QuadVee]]. The first production model of its kind, the ''Cyllaros'' was a proof-of-concept for this type of combat unit. Conceived by the scientist and technician castes of [[Clan Hell's Horses]], the unit's creation was not well received by many among the warrior castes of the other [[Clans]] within the [[Inner Sphere]].

The ''Cyllaros'' was designed to merge the best qualities of a tracked combat vehicle and quadruped BattleMech. Some of its unusual and unique design features include a two-man cockpit and torso-like turret.  The ''Cyllaros'' saw its first trial by fire against [[Clan Jade Falcon]] in a [[Trial of Possession]] for a stockpile of armor in [[3136]] on the world of [[Derf]]. The Horses bid a [[Binary]] of troops for the trial, a pair of ''Cyllaros'' being included in an all QuadVee [[Star (Formation)|Star]]. However, the  QuadVees fared poorly in this first combat action, with four being destroyed including both ''Cyllaros''.

Despite the ''Cyllaros''<nowiki>'</nowiki> defeat in combat, the Horses would continue to produce the 'Mech and other related units as part of ongoing development of the concept. The ''Cyllaros'' and others would be deployed to fill in secondary line Galaxies in the [[Clan Hell's Horses Touman|Horses ''touman'']]. ''Cyllaros'' were included in Hell's Horses units to claim abandoned [[Clan Wolf]] worlds in their Occupation Zone. These forces included [[Epsilon Galaxy (Clan Hell's Horses)|Epsilon Galaxy]] which was assigned a number of QuadVees to fight skirmishes with [[Clan Ghost Bear]]. The design would eventually prove that it is serviceable in combat, despite its shortcomings.<ref name=tro3145:tc2829/>
