Bears were a symbol of brutal force amongst the People of the North and were associated with the Legendary Berserkers. The Berserker was a Viking warrior who was able to enter a state of overwhelming rage in combat, often compared to that of a bear. This gave him superhuman strength and the power to ignore pain and damage. Such was their impact that the word still lives on today in the term to “go berserk”.
