I'll promote this to the Expert level - although I believe there are people on this forum that will know what it is...

But then again, that's the case with just about every puzzle.

Prototype for Sylva Riot - certainly looks like a Jeremy Philips design.

It's obviously very similar - but as far as I can tell, it hasn't got anything to do with the Sylva Riot.

The obvious reason why it looks like an Onyx Mongoose is that it, in fact, is one.
