The Whirligig is type of anomaly appearing in S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl, Clear Sky and Call of Pripyat.
Overview
A common and dangerous anomaly, that snatches its victims up in the air and spins them at a breakneck speed. The exact nature of the Whirligig remains unknown. The anomaly can be recognized by a light whirlwind of dust above and by body fragments scattered in the vicinity. Victims caught on its outer rim - far enough from the maximum effect zone at the center - can escape the Whirligig with relatively minor injuries.
Appearances
In the first two games of the series, the Whirligig is the 'middle' of the three gravity elements, stronger then the Springboard but weaker then the Vortex. In Call of Pripyat however, the Whirligig is far more rare then either of those, and can normally instant kill even the most well protected stalker due to its long range and grievous crushing damage (which there is no direct protection for).
Shadow of Chernobyl
Locations
This anomaly can be encountered in Cordon near the Rookie village.
Artifacts
Clear Sky
