The question is, is Bloodwrath based of of Musth?
Do badgers have secretions that are masked by their fur that provokes Bloodwrath?
I'm sorry, what's Musth?
Musth: the frenzied state of certain male animals, esp. elephants or camels, that is associated with the rutting season. :P
Musth: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Musth
As far as I can tell, the books never say anything about head fur or fur hats. So that wouldn't make sense.
I mean like, their actual fur.
Well, possibly. But if so, it was changed a lot. Cregga RoseEyes had bloodbath, and the Badgers never got to blood wrath when they we're....in love
Badgers and elephants are different,so there must be a different trigger.
I think that the bloodwrath was just a name given to a berserk rage that some of the characters got caught up in while fighting. Maybe he got some influence from musth though??
I feel like he only expanded upon something that has been a known occurrence. For example, Vikings were known for going "berserk" in battle. I myself have gone berserk, lifting a large amount of weight by doing so; it's an adrenaline rush often brought about by rage. It's quite an interesting happening.
