I was doing a simple frog skeleton 2D carving and the HD4 cut a couple of random patterns that we not a part of the G-code that I can tell... Why would it do this?

f2s,
Would you please post your crv file. It would be easier to dissect your frog that way, and see what's happening.

Post the .crv anyway, but I don't see anything causing the circles in the gcode.
Re: CNC Cutting Random Circles
Just taking a guess here, but those look a lot like spiral ramps. Sometimes when the cutting parameters tell VCarve (and others) to do the spiral ramp for the lead-in/entry, and if there's not actually enough toom, it will spiral into the material in a "bad" location. Any chance the toolpath has a spiral plunge setting somewhere in there? If that's what going on, you're going to want to either move to straight plunge, or read-up on setting the plunge location in the toolpath vectors. It's a bit obscure, but in the help somewhere.
