The Lath were a subgrouping of the Gorn civilization. The Lath are characterized by ruddy skin color, and spiky black crest hair. At some point in history, the Lath were encountered by the Worthy of Karimea. After being saved by the Worthy, the Lath considered themselves in the Worthy's debt, and wrote legends of the encounter. In particular, Catalano of the Worthy remembered saving members of the Lath group from the bug-beast of Traal.
