An individual lothar resembles one of his close relatives, the thondur. The primary difference is that of physical composition; the lothar appears to essentially be made of living grey rock. This makes the lothari very slow, but extremely strong and difficult to injure. Their endurance is as famed as that of the kentaurs. How they came to possess their unique forms is not clearly known; a popular tale holds that they were thondur who made a pact with beings of elemental Earth, much as the phaethon are said to have done with an entity of Fire. This is supported by the fact that lothari seem to draw strength from being within the earth, but the truth may be lost in history.

Socially, the lothari are rather similar to thondur; dour and grumpy. They tend to live somewhat deeper in the earth than their cousins, nearer to the drow and duergar, but they maintain close relations with the surface. They are commonly known to despise the less savory deep-dwelling races. The lothar's approach to life is one of quiet stoicism. It is widely noted that their slowness of form is matched by a slowness of learning; however, once a lothar masters a skill, his ability to focus on it to the exclusion of all else is nearly unmatchable.

Lothari live much longer than thondur, rivalling the drow with their six-hundred-year lifespans. They share the thondur' nightvision and many of their talents, though their weapon of choice is the warhammer, with which they excel mightily. Their native language, like the thondur, is Dethek.
