Lol, well -tachi is a sorta plural attachment, for living things I think... not entirely sure, I hope I'm using it right... Kite? Ayu? Anyways, A puchiguso is what those cow-ish looking creatures in .hack// are. Here, example! XD
-tachi is a plural attachment, yes, and it can be applied to living as well as non-living creatures. Typically, though, pluralizations aren't necessary in Japanese. For instance, the "puchiguso" in "Protector of all puchiguso!" doesn't need pluralization, since "all" implies more than one anyway. In Japanese, it'd probably look like, "Subete no puchiguso no shugosha!" If you wanted to cutesify it, "Subete no puchiguso-chan no shugosha!", but that would give me bad FF:U-Helba flashbacks.
Urk. Too late. (*twitches*)

So that's what those cow thingies are. Hmmm. They look alot more like a cross between a cow and a hippo, but smart.
And hi Neko! Yay for kitties! All furry beings love me!
* gets squashed by several dozens kittins, puppies, dogs, calves and puchiguso(or however ya spell it)*
Why would anyone say they weren't? Episode 2: Guardian proves they are. Remember when Tsukasa gave the baby one that onion thingie and it grew up? It said something like "Although it was not my choice to grow up, I now realize that this place has no need for another like me" and then it sorta flew-galloped off into the air. Perfect proof.
