Crap, we have no idea what kind of Mongoose Fero used in Hunt the Truth.
(Nothing is quick about the Elephant, even the Mammoth is faster. Gonna' add operational history later, given how that big trivia piece isn't so much trivia as history.)

*A [[Wikipedia:Mongoose|mongoose]] is used to refer to two types carnivorous mammals, in keeping with the UNSC's tradition of naming atmospheric vehicles after real animals, with the exceptions of the [[Cyclops]] and [[Gremlin]], which are named after mythical creatures, and the [[Longsword]], [[Shortsword]], and [[Sabre]], which are named after bladed weapons.

*Its first appearance in a book was in ''[[Halo: The Cole Protocol|The Cole Protocol]]'' during the [[Battle of Metisette]]. This is also its first appearance chronologically, meaning that the Mongoose entered UNSC service during or prior to [[2535]]. Because [[Adriana-111]] was surrounded by Covenant infantry on rocky terrain, she thought of the Mongoose as "useless" given her then-current situation, as it "''just meant you were a biking target''"; instead she used the vehicle as a melee weapon against several Grunts.<ref>'''[[Halo: The Cole Protocol]]''', ''page 320''</ref>

*If the player manages to splatter an enemy player with the Mongoose in a ranked free-for-all [[Xbox Live]] playlist in ''Halo 3'', the player will earn the [[Mongoose Mowdown]] achievement, [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/S variant|Scout]] shoulders, and five Gamerpoints.
