	Vikings & their Gods - Berserker
		The berserk was sometimes inherently possessed of this immunity, or performed spells to induce it, or even had special powers to blunt weapons by his gaze.
		The berserk skirted the classification of ni(dh)ingr, one who was the lowest of men and the object of hate and scorn.
		The primary role of the berserk was as a warrior attacked to a king's army.

	The Viking Berserker Warrior by Jim Cornish
		The attacks were sudden and the Vikings fled in their longships as quickly as they had arrived.
		Berserkers thought that by wearing the fur of the bear, they would become possessed by the animal's spirit and would gain its strength- a way of shape-shift into the animal's form.
		In some of the Viking sagas, berserkers are portrayed as ferocious fighters and villains who often killed, plundered, looted and burned whatever was in sight.

		Berserker, for his part, gets a ball-joint neck, double-ball-jointed shoulders, ball-jointed hips (with swiveling motion), swivel-joint elbows and wrists, swivel biceps, peg-joint knees, peg-joint ankles, and the oddest foot articulation: the left foot swivels left to right (fairly uselessly, actually) while the right foot is jointed at the ball of the foot.

		Some scholars think that the berserker believed he was "possessed" by the spirit of the bear, having its strength and ferociousness, and some sagas even suggest that the berserker could take on the animal's shape and force.
		Snorri Sturluson goes on to mention berserkers in the Ynglinga saga: "his [Odin's] men rushed forward without armor, were as mad as dogs or wolves, bit their shields, and were as strong as bears or wild bulls, and killed people at a blow, but neither fire nor iron told upon themselves" (Ch.

	Berserker
		Berserkers were formidable opponents, as they would use attacks that no other would, leaving themselves open to painful or lethal wounds in order to cut their opponent down.
		But always, the berserker would come out of his killing haze, sometimes to find himself close to death, but more often to find himself without a scratch on him.
		But they had to come out of their berserker rage, no matter what: the human mind cannot sustain sanity in such a state without serious mental side effects.

		In Arrow-Odd's Saga, the berserk Ogmund Eythjof's-killer is similarly described as having a horrible appearance: He had fl hair, a thick tuft of it hanging down over his face where the forelock should have been, and nothing could be seen of his face except the teeth and eyes....
		The berserk, like his patron deity Odhinn, was forced to yield to the dissolution of pagan society and the advent of the White Christ.
		Grendel is also easily identified with the berserk as "a predatory brawler and kller who disrupts the peace of the community repeatedly;" as a man separated from society by his excesses of violence.

		Berserkers would fighters who are able to release powerful but unpredictable beastly battle lusts during combat.
		To achieve a berserk state, the berserker must spend one round (or amount of time during witch battle is going on) working himself into a frenzy, biting his shield, howling, kicking shouting ext.
		My reasoning on the 'aggro' issue was that berserkers were just normal warriors with normal swords/axes and little armour (sometimes not even clothes) but they were effective because of the sheer speed and savagery of their attacks.

	Classes of Camelot - Classes - Berserker
		Berserkers have the ability to drive themselves into a battle rage that lets them fight without thought of personal safety.
		Berserkers do not have access to any spells, they cannot wear heavier armors, or use any shields beyond small.
		Even though this feral rage drives all emotions except for bloodlust from the mind of a Berserker, they still retain the instinctual combat styles, and can execute these during their frenzy to inflict massive amounts of damage on their opponent in a very short time.

	The Armchair Empire - Action Figure Reviews: Berserker the Troll (Viking Age)
		He stands about 6" tall and has probably the best articulation of all of the Viking Spawn figures; not because of the articulation itself, which is the same excellent standard of the whole line, but because of his design, which leaves him more agile and poseable.
		As a troll, especially called "berserker", it would make more sense for him to have a large blade or other hand-to-hand combat weapon to charge into battle with rather than a crossbow.
		But if you can suspend your disbelief that the angry troll would prefer to stay away from battle and snipe from the side, then this is the troll toy for you.

		Of the Viking warriors, the most fierce and powerful were the berserkers.
		The berserker is closely associated in many respects with the god Odin.
		Odin could make his enemies in battle blind, or deaf, or panic-struck, and their weapons so blunt that they could cut no better than a willow-wand; but his own men dashed forward without armour, and became as frenzied as dogs or wolves.
