These men were indestructible and fierce on the battle field. It is said they would walk out on to the battlefield bare chested howling in a frenzy but no weapon would penetrate their skin. While intimidating their enemies they would bite their own swords and shields like crazed savages. Swords like this would have been used by these exceptional men in battle, exceptional but brutal.
