Ula

Zendikar gods: Ula, Emeria and Cosi.

Ula is the Zendikar Merfolk god of the realms of water. He is known as Mangeni by the Kor and is their god of the sea, blood of the world. Both deities are male and actually come from the same source: long lost memories of the terrible Eldrazi Ulamog.

Ula was considered to be the merfolk's highest god. He was seen as dour and proud and as creator of the seas. Supplicants used to offer shells and pearl to him.

Trivia

• The shape of Ula's helmet in the art of Shrine of the Forsaken Gods is reminiscent of Ulamog's appearance, especially in Ulamog, the Ceaseless Hunger. The tentacles at his feet, nominally symbolic of the sea, are of Ulamog's tentacles.
