LaoThe Berserkers were vikings, who would randomly enter a state of senseless, possibly even feral, rage. This proved to be a useful asset in battle, so long as their lack of sense in this state did not get them or worse, their allies, killed. Amongst their own people, it was believed that the spirits of various territorial, lethal or otherwise aggressive animals would come upon them, initiating the 'Berserkergang' that is, the state of being berserk. Such animals included bears and wolves. For other examples of wolves within Norse culture, please look up information on 'Fenrir' Nothin' on bears aside from this.
