    I always use Onos as the form to describe <!--emo&::onos::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tiny.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tiny.gif'><!--endemo--> <!--emo&::onos::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tiny.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tiny.gif'><!--endemo--> <!--emo&::onos::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tiny.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tiny.gif'><!--endemo--> <!--emo&::onos::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tiny.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tiny.gif'><!--endemo--> <!--emo&::onos::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tiny.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tiny.gif'><!--endemo-->

    The correct plural term is Oni, from Flayra himself and teasers for 2.0... "Oni are running rampant!"

    Case closed.

    I personally use "Onos", because it's consistent with the manual.
    <!--QuoteBegin--Onos+NS Manual--></span><table border='0' align='center' width='95%' cellpadding='3' cellspacing='1'><tr><td><b>QUOTE</b> (Onos @ NS Manual)</td></tr><tr><td id='QUOTE'><!--QuoteEBegin--><b>Summary:</b> The dreadnaughts of the Kharaa, <u>the Onos are tanks</u> – highly armored and very powerful. They are so large they cannot use crawlspaces and many of the narrow passages found on human ships and bases. This does not limit their effectiveness very much – the Onos is the highest level response to any threat, requiring large amounts of resources to gestate, but paying off with truly awe-inspiring strength.<!--QuoteEnd--></td></tr></table><span class='postcolor'><!--QuoteEEnd-->

    I use Oni because it's more noticably different and because... well... it means 'demon' in japanese; one makes you say 'oh no' (and probably dead), a crowd makes you scream and run XD

    The sad thing is that's hardly a joke from 1.04. It was always 'ONOS!' and then 'F4!'.

    Actually, to qualify for a -i plural it'd need a -us ending, not the -os it has. Oni is just a retarded and annoying plural form. I use <b>onos</b>, though Space Cows has a certain alllure.

    I prefer to use Oni...reminds me of latin.

    however, in game, I may yell out "watch out for the big **** up elephants!"

    Onos. Why? Because Oni isn't right. There is no -os word that becomes -i (to my knowledge). It is -us to -i, as someone mentioned. Also the root words of Onos is oh no, and oh I doesn't exactly fit, eh?

    It has been a few years but I think that in latin, the -os turning into a -i happens in the second declention, plural ablative form. I may be wrong about that though...too lazy to go look it up right now...

    in ver 1.0+, Onos ruled so when they approached, marines all said " OH NO!!! "

    And thus, u get Onos.

    in ver2.0+, Onos dun rule, they are merely very annoying so marines will say " OH CRAP!!! "

    And thus, u get Ocrab.
