|Strengths=The Cauldron Born has many excellent qualities, its [[BAP]] and [[Enhanced Optics]] coupled with generous weapons configuration ability can combine to create an outstanding sniper, or other long range support mech. Its design presents a low profile, perfect for engaging targets from behind cover or from the high ground. It can also be fitted with enough missiles to create a significant long range support unit, capable of deploying quickly and able to attack at maximum range with great precision. It carries much of its weaponry in its torso, making it more survivable.<ref>[http://trm.mektek.net/index_mechs.htm MechWarrior4 - Technical Reference Manual]</ref>

|Weaknesses=Its chassis performance is disappointing for a 65 ton mech, and the Cauldron Born does not distinguish itself in any performance category. Such raw data can be extremely subjective however, and the Cauldron Born is a respected and capable fighter preferred by many successful pilots. Agility is on a par with much heavier mechs, and this makes it somewhat vulnerable to more nimble battlemechs. Though many of its weapons are located in the torso, all of its valuable Omni slots are in the arms. Its highly exposed missile racks carry 40 points of internal armor, but are prone to being destroyed during intense combat.<ref>[http://trm.mektek.net/index_mechs.htm MechWarrior4 - Technical Reference Manual]</ref>

== Battletech Lore ==
 
-
Named after the zombies of Irish myth, Inner Sphere warriors that first encountered it during the Battle of Luthien called this 'Mech the Cauldron-Born. Ironically, the Clan Smoke Jaguar 'Mech that was intended to replace the Loki was not referred to by its Clan designation, Ebon Jaguar, by other Clans as it was still so new that many Clans just called it by its Inner Sphere designation. It was made to ambush its enemy with a low body, similar to the Lyran Bushwacker, that makes it harder to target. <ref>[http://www.sarna.net/wiki/Technical_Readout:_3058 Technical Readout: 3058]</ref>
