Totoro Descriptions
Totoro's themselves come in three sizes. Oh-totoro, chu-totoro, and chibi-totoro are huge, medium, and small respectively:
Chibi-totoro- is comparable in size to a small bird with white fur and is often seen carrying a sack in which it collects acorns.
Chu-totoro- is actually only a little smaller than the children it fascinates, boasting blue fur and carrying a larger but similar sack.
Oh-totoro-is usually found asleep in it's resting place in a huge camphor tree has gray fur and is large enough to carry the other two totoros and two
children (and perhaps more) on its belly. This totoro alone of the three boasts a mouth... and a huge roaring one at that.
The Neko Bus- a friend to totoro's and their method of transportation. the Neko bus is actually a huge cat with more legs that one can count. It's body
has taken the shape of a bus, complete with plush fur seats on the inside and eyes that send out beams like headlights.
Soot sprites- Black dust bunnies with eyes. These creatures like to lurk in old deserted houses. If caught they will disappear and leave
nothing but a sooty residue on the hands of the captor. Also referred to in some documents as MAK-KURO KUROSUKE (Mr. Black or blackie ) or susu-atari (Soot balls of fluff).
