Norse mythology had something similiar. The word "Berserker" originally referred to Legendary Scandinavian warriors, whose frenzy in battle transformed him into a wolf or bear. The word itself is derived from Ber or "Bear" & Serkr or "Shirt".

Some postulate that this may have contributed to the legends of "Werewolves".


There were also Ulfhednars, whose name means Wolf Hide. They also could be called Ulfsarks.

No wolves in Iceland, we only have foxes and minks. On rare occasions we get a polar bear that gets here by an iceberg but they're always spotted pretty quick.
