Weighing in at 25 tons, the '''''Mist Lynx''''' is a lightweight workhorse [[OmniMech]]. It is a common [[BattleMech#Light|light]] OmniMech among the [[Clans]] that invaded the [[Inner Sphere]], and is part of the ''[[touman]]'' of every Clan. Before the [[Great Refusal]], the ''Mist Lynx'' was most prominently fielded by [[Clan Smoke Jaguar]] and earned the [[Inner Sphere Designation for Clan BattleMechs|code name]] '''''Koshi''''', or "small death," from the [[DCMS]] forces which encountered it during [[Operation REVIVAL]]. Designed by Clan Smoke Jaguar around 2910, production of the ''Mist Lynx'' was continued by Clans [[Clan Ice Hellion|Ice Hellion]] and [[Clan Steel Viper|Steel Viper]] after the [[Trial (Clan)#Trial of Annihilation|Annihilation]] of Clan Smoke Jaguar.<ref name=TRO/><ref name=TRO3050>''Technical Readout: 3050'', pp. 14–15: "Koshi OmniMech Profile"</ref><ref name=TRO3050R>''Technical Readout: 3050 Revised'', pp. 12–13: "Koshi OmniMech Profile"</ref>

The ''Mist Lynx'' is built on a lightweight [[endo steel]] chassis to save weight, and is powered by a 175 [[XL engine]] that gives the 'Mech a top speed of 118.8 km/h, and six [[jump jet]]s are mounted that allow the 'Mech to jump up to 180 meters. The ''Mist Lynx'' has a fixed [[active probe]] that allows the 'Mech to protect itself from ambush by letting it detect any hidden enemy units before they can strike. For protection from enemy fire, the ''Mist Lynx'' has three and a half tons of [[ferro-fibrous]] armor.<ref name=TRO/><ref name=TRO3050/><ref name=TRO3050R/>
