Henry's ferret form provides him with just a little bit of leeway on being attacked - He's able, like the mustelid he transforms into, to just wiggle himself a LITTLE to the side, to simply not be hit. However, once he starts dodging, it's easier to keep going than stop, so he ends up jumping around the battlefield, and inadvertently smacking about his opponents.
