* FieryRedhead: Wulfrik.

to:

* FearInducedIdiocy: During a raid on a Chaos Dwarf fortress, Wulfrik's men find statues enchanted to cause fear in anyone who looks at them. Being Norscans, they don't flee as mere southerners might... but since what they do is charge the statues and attack them, tiring themselves out and blunting their weapons, it's not much better. Even Wulfrik killing one doesn't stop them, and the dwarfs use the distraction to attack unimpeded until Wulfrik gets Zarnath to break the spell.

* TooAnnoyedToBeAfraid: The Chaos Dwarfs' fortress is protected by (among other things) statues that magically cause fear in intruders in the vicinity. However, since these intruders are [[ProudWarriorRaceGuy Norscan marauders]], they instead hurl themselves at the statues in berserk frenzy. The trap still works, in that the Norscans find themselves with weapons damaged from being used to hit stone, getting distracted allows the dwarfs time to muster their defenses, and even when Wulfrik kills one or as the dwarfs are cutting them to pieces, the Norscans are ''still'' attacking the statues.
