It's not so much a problem of the English language as a problem of whoever in the show makers team made the universe vocabulary decisions.

That said, as a person who learned the English language, they might have as well have chosen "faunuses" as the plural. (And no @Live, it's not stupid, it's orthographically valid.)

You know, maybe delving into the in-universe history of the word faunus or having someone call the faunus fauna could work to show racism and make some world building simultaneously.

Maybe there is an iin-universe reason why they don't say fauni (like that it sounds like ursi).
