Sköll along with his brother is also said to be the child of the monster wolf, Fenrir, whom shall devour the chief of the Norse gods Odin at Ragnarok. Sköll was said to have taken his father's attributes in devouring any ray of hope that both the gods and humanity have, and that ray being the very sun itself. Alongside his brother, Sköll is the father of the Wargs.

Sköll has a brother, Hati, who chases Mani, the Norse god of the moon. At Ragnarök, both Sköll and Hati will succeed in their quests. However, by the end of Ragnarök, Sköll and his brother will also meet their end. Sköll would be killed by Freyja and her Valkyries when the latter ensnare Sköll with unbreakable rope, only for Freyha to drive her sword into the belly of the wolf, and slice out the light that was swallowed by him.
