Summary of the bug:
sometimes (a LOT of times) Snarbolax boss does not react on hitting the bell. Even when he's biting the knight, standing right next to the bell. This can happen 3+ times in a row, and I have no idea how it triggers.
I can reproduce it at any time, though I do not know the trigger. This usually happens each time I fight snarbolax, several times per fight. Recently I defeated him 4 times in a row and had this bug happen several times in each fight.
Also, sometimes snarbolax gets "stuck" in attack frenzy, doing not 3, but 10+ bites in a row (its impossible to avoid being hit by that amount of bites, as he re-aims each and every time, can do 180 degree turns between bites, basically, hits you anywhere, range is pretty good).
Sometimes snarby bites 3-5 times in a straight line, others he bites the knight directly. I cannot tell how it works, but it seems part of his scripts were taken from alpha wolvers (after they received a limit to biting 3 times in a row), while the other part was made specifically for him, and this somehow gets in the way of the bell (while he's doing his turn-able biting, he's not affected by the bell).

They have definetly some hitbox issue with the bell.
Not only for snarbolax but for most mobs too. It seems that whenever they are "over" (up) the bell, half the time the stun doesn't work.
SL Snarby is a pain when it doesn't work >.<
