This bugbear is spinning wildly in circles. Looks like it misunderstood the other bugbears' call for 'revolution'.
At least now it's devilishly dervish-like.
Hit Message(s):
The bugbear's spinning claws rake your eye. Where does that rake get off clawing you like that? Oof! Ooh!
The bugbear hooks you with one of its spinning claws! You check out the hook while the bugbear revolves it. Eek! Ow!
The bugbear goes all tasmanian devil on your <foot>. Also on the rest of your body. Ooh! Ow!
The bugbear wobbles dizzily for a moment, but it doesn't fall down.
The bugbear spins into a wall. All in all, it knocks a couple of bricks out of it.
