Berserker

Appearances: FF5, FFX-2, FFTA2
Aliases: None

Berserkers have one simple motivation - fight! Dressed in animal skins, and wielding axes or claws, Berserkers are true to their name - they can only fight. Their high strength and high HP make them ideal frontline fighters, but their lack of control and low magic attributes are disadvantageous against certain enemies.
