An anthropological phenomenon first recorded during the viking age. Young Germanic warriors of the early medieval period, led by a tribal elder, would perform what is best described as a ritualistic dance, commonly associated with the term "Berserksgangr", which is believed to have granted them preternatural powers. Accounts chronicling the behavior of these men often describe them charging into battle in a blind rage, killing men indiscriminately, displaying inhuman strength, and apparently unable to feel any fear or pain. This state could also often referred to as berserker rage.
