I regard Onos like sheep.
You don't say "There are lots of Sheeps". It's Sheep. Just Sheep, for single or plural.
And anyway, saying "Look at the Onoses" just sounds plain stupid. <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='wink.gif'><!--endemo-->

But note, sheep is a highly irregular verb. Onos follows the same pattern as -os words.

And you have to admit that using Onos as both single and plural is both succinct and better sounding than Onosos.... <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->
Edit: What an odd conversation, lol.

*ahem* I think a simple pack will do me.
A flock of Lerk (my god, another plural debate shall surely ensue!)
A pack of anything else.
You could use herd, but it makes them sound far to docile.
