Berserker Tribe

The Berserker Tribe are one of the biggest Viking tribes in The Barbaric Archipelago and are known for going "berserk".

Personality
The Berserkers visit Berk when it was time for the annual signing of the peace treaty. Stoick was expecting Oswald the Agreeable, the chief of the Berserker tribe, but to their great astonishment, Oswald's son Dagur (whom Hiccup describes as a lunatic) turns out to be the new chief of the Berserkers, and is now called 'Dagur the Deranged'. Dagur explains that his father has been "retired", and he took over the responsibility of being the new chief, though Dagur doesn't have any qualities of a good chief. After a few events in the episode, Dagur and the Berserkers were forced to flee, but told Gobber to consider the treaty signed.

The Beserkers returned when they accompanied Dagur to Dragon Island. There, they learned that Berk did train dragons.

The Beserkers then found a frozen skrill and tried to dig it out, but were stopped by the dragon riders. They fought off the riders again when they were trying to capture the dragon again. While they did not get it, the Beserkers formed an alliance with the Outcasts, who had the Skrill, to attack Berk. In the end, Dagur used the Skrill to eliminate Alvin, and become chief of both the Beserkers and the Outcasts. Their invasion was put on hold after Hiccup had freed and refroze the Skrill.

Following the loss of the Skrill, the Berserkers and the Outcast then set up a trap for Hiccup and his dragon, but failed once again. The Berserkers then gave Trader Johann a pile of metal that contained Smothering Smokebreaths. At first, the Smokebreaths were able to steal all the weapons and metal on Berk. However, the smokebreaths then attacked the Berserkers, taking their armor, weapons and ships apart.

The Berserker then sneaked onto Berk and planted Dragon Root in the Dragon Academy to make the Dragons attack each other. When Dagur trapped the Riders in the academy and demanded the Night Fury, the Berserkers then fought Stoick and his Hooligans. Though Stoick was able to free Fishlegs to take the Dragon Root away, the Berserkers then captured and took him to Outcast Island. After delivering their terms, the Berserkers then captured Hiccup and Toothless when they attempted a rescue. However, the Berserkers were stopped by Alvin the Treacherous, his whispering deaths, Mildew, and the Screaming Death. Dagur and the Berserkers were then captured and imprisoned by Alvin.

Dagur and most of his Berserkers then spent 3 years in prison on Outcast Island. However, Dagur, Vorg, Savage and other Berserkers then escaped, taking Trader Johann's ship. Then went to the Ship Graveyard to steal Johann's treasures. After the run in with Hiccup's dragon riders, the Berserkers then salvage The Reaper traps. Dagur also bought ships to strengthen his armada.

Dagur and his men then attacked Berk in order to find the location of Dragon's Edge. The Berserkers then attacked Dragon's edge but were driven back by the Auxiliary Team. The Berserkers then welcomed Dagur's sister, Heather, back into the tribe and made an alliance with the Dragon Hunters. They, alongside the Hunters, then attempted to kidnap Hiccup to get the Dragon Eye and it's information to no avail. They then took part in another attack on Dragon's Edge with no apparent success. Dagur then used several of his soldiers to play a game of Maces & Talons with Viggo Grimborn.

Comparisons to the Books
The Berserk Tribe were a tribe of insane Vikings living in the Uglithug Territories. Fishlegs is a descendant of the Berserkers. The Berserkers all wear chains and padlocks, so to restrain them, just in case if they go into Berserker mode. They are led by the unnamed Chief of Berserk. The Berserks were known to perform human sacrifices, by offering victims to The Beast. They tried to feed Hiccup, Fishlegs, Humungously Hotshot, and ten other fiancés of Tantrum to the Beast, yet Hiccup struck a deal with the beasts, and commanded the Berserks to free everyone from the prison, under death threat. The Berserks did so, and fled when The Beast set fire to the island. The Berserks swiftly sail away from the island, never to be seen again.
