Frenzy is a status effect. During frenzy, monsters turn "neutral", causing them to attack anything in sight - friend or foe. This also applies the haste and might status effect. Afterwards, they are slowed for a brief time. Like berserk, frenzied monsters can't cast spells.

When a source of frenzy is used against the player, the berserk effect is applied instead.
