Berserker!

How exactly would I say "berserker" (don't ask) in Spanish? I have only found "berserk" here, Google is useless, and I avoid online translators if possible. This isn't really that important, so if you don't know, that's fine.

Berserker. It's the name of a group of Norse warriors, so it's not translated. Here's an article about them in Spanish - Berserker

The English word "berserK" comes from the name of the warriors, not the other way around.

Are you referring to the Norse warriors or you are just using it like berserk? The name of the warriors in spelled the same in Spanish, but in lower case.

As in the warriors. So it's "berserker"? - evilweirdo, Oct 9, 2010

Not much need for a translation of the word, are you looking for a way to describe it?

Ah, so they're a tribe. I was referring to one who goes berserk, not as in "more berserk". Think D&D barbarian. I have heard the term "berserker" in many places, but Marianne may be correct that it's not a real word.

I read in Wikipedia that they were know for wearing coats or shirt made of bear hides. This is the closest I could come up with. Kind of like the jaguar warriors of the Aztecs. - gabacholoco, Oct 9, 2010
Jaguar warriors? Interesting. - evilweirdo, Oct 19, 2010

Hi and welcome to the forum. You do realize that there is no word "berserker" in English, right?

In Spanish, the only thing I can think of is "más loco."

ber·serk·er. an ancient Norse warrior who fought with frenzied rage in battle, possibly induced by eating hallucinogenic mushrooms.

Marianne ... profile ck! Think Wargamer! Kratos? Evil weirdo? - LateToDinner, Oct 9, 2010
Yep, it's Kratos Aurion from Tales of Symphonia (best game ever IMHO), who is in fact not evil or a weirdo if you are wondering. - evilweirdo, Oct 9, 2010
Sigh, : ) - margaretbl, Oct 9, 2010
