What else are Skaarj supposed to count when they go to sleep? :P

But on topic, I agree with Waffnuffly. I've never seen the word Skaarj pluralized any other way.

Technically Pupae are plural by default in the actor tree, so when one kills you it's still called Pupae and not Pupa as it should be.

You don't need to agree with me, though. The proof is in RTNP's voice logs :P

I think that's debateable. If I were to go fishing at sea and catch several of these, I think I would say that I had a "net full of squid" rather than a "net full of squids".

Or should that be calamari? :P

How do we know "Pupae" isn't just a skaarj word that happens to be amazingly similar to an english word, but is just crazy and is both singular and plural?

...it's probably not, but whatever!

It wasn't until years after I first played Unreal and saw a documentary where I think Sir David Attenborough used the word "pupae" in context that I realized what the fuck.

Plus it's pronounced similarly in U2 & 2k4.

If you're confused just ask Epic, I'm sure they'll tell you.
