Lacking a true skeleton, a rathtar had an enormous, round, slug-like body covered in light-reactive sensing orbs. If in danger from a rathtar, one's best hope was to hide, as the creatures were largely blind. They also vocalized deafening roars when attacking and devouring prey, and let out horrifying shrieks of fury when in pain. Individual rathtars appeared to become smarter when in proximity to others of its species, and rathtar packs utilized howls, at a frequency beyond humanoid hearing, to communicate among one another. Despite the appearance of a mindless eating machine, rathtars proved effective at working together, and displayed affinity for pack hunting. Originating from Twon Ketee, rathtars appeared physiologically primitive, endowed with only rudimentary senses and possessing small brains. The literary collective term for rathtars was a remorse of rathtars.

Rathtars reproduced by fission, leading to rapidly increasing numbers if the species' population was not controlled. ' They are big and they are dangerous.' ―Han Solo Īlthough the study of rathtars was rare due to the danger posed by the beasts, it was believed that they shared common ancestry with other tentacled species such as the sarlaccs, the blixii, and the vixus of Umbara.
