Berserker
From Warhammer - The Old World - Lexicanum
Berserkers are small groups of wild, insane and dangerous Norse warriors who work themselves up into a battle frenzy. [1]
In their frenzy they tear at their clothing, bite their shields and clash their weapons before launching themselves against any foe. They can however even target friends in their brutal frenzy. [2]
