"Platypodes," "platypus," and "platypuses" are all correct. I say platypi because I are dumb.

Platypi is correct too. Not according to spellcheck, but yeah.

Not according to wikipedia, either. :P

There is no universally agreed plural of "platypus" in the English language. Scientists generally use "platypuses" or simply "platypus". Colloquially, the term "platypi" is also used for the plural, although this is technically incorrect and a form of pseudo-Latin; the correct Greek plural would be "platypodes".

Platypodes is a funny word. :lol:

My platypodes are about to asplode.

The platypode section of my brain doesn't function correctly.

So the platypode nodes are going to corrode, then explode? *is shot*

If you goad them into the abode, the platypodes' load might cause them to explode, yes.

I have no idea what's going on. :XD

I'll take 20. :ninja: ...

Kita - Yes.

Elluh - I'll give you twenty six, and that's my final offer! :talk2hand:

*bounces in*
I wanna platypus.

I! Wanna platypus all ni-ight!
And echidna every day!

I've decided I want to see an anatomical model of a platypus to see it's the structure of it's magical features.

Here's a skelly-ton.

Looks even more alien in skeleton form, somehow. :lol:

I know! So weird. I didn't realise they're beaks were like that.

I wonder if duck bills are the same? Probably so, I'd imagine.

HIM counters your platipus.

WITH FATTIES:

It looks my cat Tsume except he is grey. He is always on his back so he gets lots of belly rubs.

It does look like Tsume. Probably weighs only a little more too.

HIM bets it smells worse.

But maybe the seal won't scratch your hand off if you go in for some belly pets. My hands are currently covered in scratches from failed belly pet attempts.
