Certain warriors, known as berserkers, were believed to have supernatural abilities to transform their bodies in battle, gaining the strength and ferocity of animals such as bears or wolves. This transformation was believed to make them nearly invincible, immune to pain and fear, symbolising the idea that the body could take on new, powerful forms through divine or magical influence.
