Ullr appears in the myths as a tall, handsome man, a hunter in the snow-covered expanses of Scandinavia, who gets on skis or snowshoes and one of his attributes is the shield.
Ullr heitir einn, sonr Sifjar, stjúpsonr Þórs. Hann er bogmaðr svá góðr ok skíðfœrr svá at engi má við hann keppask. Hann er ok fagr álitum ok hefir hermanns atgervi. Á hann er ok gott at heita í einvígi.
