Uller represents the other side of nature than Skadi, his wife. Where Skadi is devoted to the protection and continuation of nature, Uller looks over the careful pruning of flora and fauna alike. Many hunters sacrifice part of their quarry to Uller as thanks for granting them a successful hunt.
He is said to lead a great hunting party across the sky atop his loyal tiger steed Ambara, armed with his bow Willowstrike and an endless quiver of arrows fletched with golden feathers. Ambara is the first-born cub of Selypis, the great tiger spirit of the Feywild. Uller raised her as his own in the forests of Asgard.
Uller is depicted as a dark-skinned human man with tiger-like markings of lunarite on his face. His hair is tightly braided, and also glows the soft blue of moon-glass.
