Speaking of technically, as the creature does not have one of every kind of horn, it can not be described with the sub-word ‘omni’. Since it has many of the same kind of horn, it would be a POLYcorn. But that being said, she can call it whatever she darn well wants to. She just would be technically incorrect.
Like I said it has several of one type of thing nor does it have the horn of every unicorn, making it ‘poly’ not ‘omni’.
Martha Stewart Omini-media is a group of several different companies not several of the same kind of media company.
But as I ALSO said, she can call it whatever she wants to call it. She just would be wrong on a technicality but who really cares about grammar technicalities other than grammar teachers and children raised by grammar teachers (which would be me, unfortunately)
include a little armor with those body spines (and a tail weapon of some sort), and it WOULD be a mammal version of the anklasaurus.
You know, those body spines don’t look anchored to any infrastructure (like the creature’s skeleton), so I doubt they’re even a decent defence (like a porcupine’s is).
They do look painful to the critter, tho.

A mammalion version of the anklasarus?

I guess I’m technically wrong.

Ah, but partly right as well!

Technically…….who cares what it’s called? *sits back to read favorite comic instead of nit picking* 😛
bardcrest
Oh I agree. Just saying it is the wrong term is all.

Omnicorn simply rolls off the tongue better, though I can argue that Omnicorn could refer to having “all the unicorn horns.”
bardcrest
You COULD make that arguement…you would be wrong though:
1. (singular) every
2. (plural) all

I was partly right… It’s just not young or innocent.
“Omnicorn” may be used as a reference back to Transformers. …or I could just be took geekly looking at the word
SurlyQueen
I have to confess it’s not a reference ^_^;

HA!! I KNEW it! innocent creature horn fetish! “THANK you, feats of genetic engineering!”

Why mess with the omnicorn when you can simply help out a troop in need:
