Should not be used simply because someone is labeled a berserk(er), but rather how they behave. A generic berserker wields axes (commonly one in each hand), clothed in furs or is mostly naked and generally resembles a viking, regardless if they fight in frenzy (besides screaming battlecries).

Includes also presence of magic, drugs, or other things that can cause anyone to behave this way.

Status effects, magic or such that cause confusion or charm effect usually inflict this on others.
