Instead of having a specific physical appearance, Yelig-nar is capable of joining with people{{book ref|sa3|120}} or singers who swallow a gemstone.{{epigraph ref|sa3|95}} This gemstone seems to serve as a housing for Yelig-nar,{{book ref|sa3|118}} although it is uncertain why the singers must swallow one, as they already have a [[gemheart]].{{book ref|sa3|i|7}} It appears that the people who bond with Yelig-nar maintain their personality and memories,{{book ref|sa3|120}} at least initially, but they must control him if they do not wish to be consumed by him.{{book ref|sa3|118}}
In [[Shadesmar]], Yelig-nar takes the form of a swirling figure of black smoke the size of a normal person.{{book ref|sa3|116}} When a person has swallowed a gemstone and bonds Yelig-nar, a dark smoke swirls around them.{{book ref|sa3|84}} Their eyes darken to a red color that occasionally shifts between specific shades such as crimson or a dark blood red.{{book ref|sa3|120}} They gradually grow carapace and amethyst crystals that glow with a deep violet light from all over their bodies, including their limbs
A bond with Yelig-nar grants a person the ability to make use of all ten [[Surge]]s.{{epigraph ref|sa3|95}} It is uncertain where the power source for these Surges comes from, but it is possible that Yelig-nar makes use of [[Voidlight]]. It also seems possible that Yelig-nar allows grants preternatural skills in combat, as Amaram fights seemingly-impossibly gracefully with two Shardblades,{{book ref|sa3|120}} but this remains unconfirmed. According to mythology, Yelig-nar supposedly consumes souls, but it is unknown what this indicates.{{epigraph ref|sa3|96}} It is possible that it simply refers to the people he bonds with, but it is uncertain if any lasting damage is done to their soul in any way.
