Having a conversation with Danny, a cousin on my mother's side. The correct plural of "mongoose." I held mongooses, he held mongeese. Turns out both mongooses and mongeese are correct, and we were both right.
His argument was that the plural of goose is geese. Pretty solid there, since the syllable "goose" isn't likely to show up from more than one language. But I knew for a fact that it was gooses, so I needed an argument.
So it's like goose, but it's a Digimon. You don't say, Garurumoon, to mean more than one Garurumon. You say Garurumons. Likewise, mongooses, which are apparently Digimon, get the same pluralization treatment.
(They digivolve into Wile E. Coyote, in case you were wondering.)
