Berserker
Berserkers are referring to a cycle of cards introduced in Battle of Helm's Deep and Ents of Fangorn, representing the unarmored berserkers in the Isengard army assaulting Helm's Deep. Each of these minions gets stronger based on the number of wounds they and their assigned Companion have, and usually have an ability which can exert themselves (and which usually interacts with Machines, another source of easy exertions).
This mechanic was more or less encoded as the Enduring keyword in later sets, and although various minions named "Berserk" or "Berserker" showed up again, they seldom followed this subculture's identity.
