The species is named after Toothless, The Night Fury, the dragon of the novel series by Cressida Cowell “How to train your dragon” and the film with the same title from DreamWorks Animation, 2010. Several Kinorhyncha species have been described after famous dragons. The new species is reminiscent of Toothless for its middorsal spinose processes, similar to the back protuberances of the dragon, and for having one of the lateral terminal spines broken, like the tail in the animated character.
