Thorlaksonius platypus ranges in size from 3.5–10 mm (0.14–0.39 in). [5] It has a variable color which closely resembles the variation of Alia carinata. The color of only a single specimen has been described. This individual displayed a brown and grey body with a singular yellow band across its dorsal plates, called the pereon.
The platypus has an average body temperature of about 32 °C (90 °F), lower than the 37 °C (99 °F) typical of placental mammals.
