Incredibly small, Size 5.3 mm x 3.8mm. Small lateral palps near aboral edge.
Named after its resemblance to a Japanese Torii gate. Discovered by occlupanologist M. Cech on an analog wrist watch, nestled securely between case and crown. View the submitted field notes here. Cech observed that the watch remained inoperable until the occlupanid was removed. It is therefore possible that T. torii produces targeted inhibitors that can stop time. Handle with caution.
