Its appearance is often described as being amorphous or indistinct, blending with its surroundings, and sometimes possessing characteristics of both animal and natural elements.

The mythology surrounding Syyjäjäs suggests it acts as a guardian of its territory, and its presence is often indicated by subtle changes in the environment, such as unusual silence or a peculiar scent.

In some interpretations, Syyjäjäs represents the untamed and ancient spirit of the wilderness. Its elusiveness contributes to its mythical status, making it a subject of local legends and whispers rather than widely documented folklore.
