I do not think that means what you think it means

Answer 2

A berserker was a wearer of the bear sark or bearskin shirt,
a Nordic warrior dedicated to the Goddess Ursel, the She-bear. Through wearing the skin, a warrior acquired the bear's fighting spirit and the grace of the goddess.

Answer 3

Etymology
The term berserker is from Old Norse bersërkr (plural berserkir) is most typically translated as "bear’s skin" referring to the bear skin clothing Viking warriors wore into battle.



Berserkers (or Berserks) were warriors who fought in an uncontrollable rage or trance of fury, the berserkergang.

The Úlfhéðnar (singular Úlfhéðinn) mentioned in the Vatnsdœla saga, Haraldskvæði and the Völsunga saga were said to wear the pelt of a wolf upon their heads when they entered battle.
