Deicide4u Posted Friday at 17:01 Report Share Posted Friday at 17:01 Text about the wolf warriors. Quote Examining the etymology of the terms “berserker” and “ulfhednar” can provide further insight into their origins. The word “berserker” is derived from Old Norse “berserkr,” which is believed to mean “bear-shirt” or “bear-coat” (referring to the bear skins they wore). This etymology emphasizes the connection between the Berserker and the bear, both in terms of physical strength and the animalistic nature often attributed to these warriors. Similarly, the term “ulfhednar” originates from Old Norse “úlfhéðinn,” which translates to “wolf-coat” or “wolf-hide.” This term clearly highlights the relationship between Ulfhednar and the wolves they emulated, further reinforcing the notion that these warriors channeled the spirit and ferocity of their respective animals in battle. Seems like it could be possible that some ferocious German warriors in ancient times would dress themselves in wolf skins. Especially as a way to "summon" the strength of mythological or religious wolf totem. I don't think that the wolf skin would be very effective as a suit of armor, though. Maybe add them as very brutal, very aggressive melee glass cannon shock troops? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
