He's a satyr (his lower half is the rear half of a goat). Then why not use Fauni for plurals then? Since it's literally the actual plural for Faunus in Latin.

Also, why does everyone here call the Faunus a different species when it's pretty much obvious they are effectively a different race? They are literally just humans with some animalistic thing somewhere, the difference is barely bigger than between elves and humans.

And they are sentient, and their own people. By definition, they are a race, not a species.
