Abstract: We augment the list of finite universal locally toroidal regular polytopes of type {3,3,4,3,3} due to P.McMullen and E.Schulte, adding as well as removing entries. This disproves a related long-standing conjecture. Our new universal polytope is related to a well-known Y-shaped presentation for the sporadic simple group $F{i}_{22}$, and admits $S_{4}imes{O}_8^{+}(2):S_3$ as the automorphism group. We also discuss further extensions of its quotients in the context of Y-shaped presentations. As well, we note that two known examples of finite universal polytopes of type {3,3,4,3,3} are related to Y-shaped presentations of orthogonal groups over GF(2). Mixing construction is used in a number of places to describe covers and 2-covers.
