I agree with your explanation about speculation fiction. It doesn't really cover horror. I also agree that horror isn't appropriately given a chance.

Scientists generally use "platypuses" or simply "platypus". Colloquially the term "platypi" is also used for the plural, although this is technically incorrect and a form of pseudo-Latin;[3] the correct Greek plural would be "platypodes" or "platypoda"." National Geographic uses the term "<a href="http://animals.nationalgeographic.com/animals/mammals/platypus.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">platypuses</a>". Bill, I think Lorna is actually correct on her grammar! ;-)

National Geographic uses the term “platypuses“.
