The '''Berserker''' appears as a crazed (or simply really, ''really'' happy) [[Humanoid family|humanoid]] wielding a hand axe and shield, as well as a full tunic and cape. The fact he appears fully clothed, even having a decorative circlet on, suggests a reasonably high level of intelligence. When berserkers first appeared, they had a completely black head, but some modern appearances gave them a yellow head like the rest of their bodies.
