The devilish Teemo has ventured from the virtual universe of League of Legends into our natural world, as a recently discovered new species of crab has been named after the diminutive Yordle scout.

While the Teemo of the deep may not be planting invisible mushrooms, its resemblance to the League’s champion has so charmed scientists that they’ve named the tiny crab after the Bandle Scout. And just as Teemo was one of the first Yordles added to the League, the newly discovered tiny crab is the first of its entire genus, a classification system that includes species that share a recent common ancestor—essentially a new family.

The discovery, published in the journal Zoosystematics and Evolution, was made during an expedition to the coral reefs of the South China Sea by marine biologists Zi-Ming Yuan, Wei Jiang and Zhong-Li Sha. A few specimens of the Teemo crab were then carefully photographed and collected during diving expeditions and subsequently housed in the Marine Biological Museum in the city of Qingda.

The crab, whose official name is “Gothus Teemo,” has a small, fluffy appearance that resembles the Swift Scout itself. Its distinguishing features include a “dense coat of short setae” and brown-streaked coloration, which reminded scientists of the Champion’s hairy coat, and its camouflage skills.
