I think the term 'berserker' is a Viking one, and the berserkers were warriors who got really hyped up , adrenalin rush and so on, so that they seemed to be impervious to pain and the like. They may have worn bearskins to seem even more scary. I seem to remember that the film 'The Thirteenth Warrior' features berserkers.
