"Walrus Op says further up you can have Walruses Maybe that's a matter of option apparently it's a second declension noun from Denmark so Walrusus ok.. OP says its a mammal as a clue" It is not a Latin second declension noun, so there is no reason it would be pluralized with -i. The plural of walrus is walruses.
