  We describe the spin dynamics of an arbitrary localized impurity in an
insulating two dimensional antiferromagnet, across the host transition from a
paramagnet with a spin gap to a Neel state. The impurity spin susceptibility
has a Curie-like divergence at the quantum-critical coupling, but with a
universal, effective spin which is neither an integer nor a half-odd-integer.
In the Neel state, the transverse impurity susceptibility is a universal number
divided by the host spin stiffness (which determines the energy cost to slow
twists in the orientation of the Neel order). These, and numerous other results
for the thermodynamics, Knight shift, and magnon damping have significant
applications to experiments on layered transition metal oxides.
