Mancubuses or Mancubi?

Mancubi - Plural of Mancubus. This question was asked by sailorscout to Romero, in which Romero replied Mancubi. [2]

Should the caption read "Mancubi gathering," perhaps?

Errors are valid in quotes, though I'd say we can choose the apparently better version when more than one is available and known to any editors. In the case of "ball-lightning" I guess the dash makes sense. Who is like God? 20:12, 18 June 2008 (UTC)

Look at Doom II - Level 7: What does the mancubus say? "In your mind"?
