Whirlwind of Claws (Su) This functions as the whirlwind universal monster ability, except a kamaitachi which assumes whirlwind form may remain in that form indefinitely, and creatures damaged by whirlwind of claws take damage as if they were hit by the kamaitachi's claw attack. In addition, whenever a kamaitachi in whirlwind form successfully picks up a creature, the kamaitachi may make all of its rake attacks against that creature.
