Myths Of Great Britain.

[Ninurta]

...

But in a quiet region of England, a young man was digging amongst the peat bogs around where he lived and searching for that find that would enhance
his place in the field of archaeology. Langrick Fen -a small village in Lincolnshire on the east coast and not far from the hamlet Dogdyke, was where this
keen archaeologist ferreted through the damp earth seeking the ancient remains of the Viking community that had once inhabited the region.

With his trowel striking something harder that the damp organic material that the Fens are known for, the unnamed digger may have dreamt of a jewelled
sword or a chest of riches taken by the marauding seafarers. However, it was a bone and carefully moving the peat from around the water-stained ossein,
he discovered a whole human skeleton with a unique difference to the other remains sometimes unearthed in the Lincolnshire marshes.
This one had a wolf's skull.

...

Clearly, he found what he was looking for, much to his chagrin.

What he unearthed was an "Ulfhednar" - a "Wolfskins" - a Viking warrior similar to a Berserker, but one that transforms into a wolf rather than a bear. They are far less well known than the more widely advertised Berserkers, but back in the day they were just as real and just as dangerous as the Berserker variety of Viking marauder.

I know of them, but did not know that they come back to life in the night time and across centuries. Maybe this one was some peculiar combination of Ulfhednar and Draugr ("zombie" - a corpse of a deceased warrior that arises from it's burial barrow in the night time). Try that, you silly Berserkers out there!
