If a regular group of 'cubi is a "Wing," then is a gathering of ascended 'cubi a "Buttwing?"
I second "a buttwing of ascended 'cubi" so hard. It's hilarious!
More likely an AAAAAAAAIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEE of Cubi then, as if a bunch of Tri-Wings are gathered together, the results aren't going to be pleasant.

I also nominate an AAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH! of Fae.

Lucheek

Oh this is a fun game.

A tide of were?
A deck of 'Cubi?
A fickle of Fae?
A glow of Warp Aci?
A swarm of Pygmy Shrews?
A cult of Fourmites?

(My favorite is the Trick of Cubi suggestion, thus far.)

Attic Rat

A conceit of Demons?

A chaos of Fae?

An epic of Mythos?

A phalanx of Paladins?

A change of Weres?

A terror of Twinks?

:erk :mwaha :rolleyes
Which would you like to be, ignorant or misled?

A Conflagration of Phoenixes?
A Romero of Undead?
A Hive of Insectis?
A Dunce of Gryphons?
A Suffocation of Mows?

a cube of cubi would be interesting

A Cubist cubi cheerleader specializing in square roots?
Which would you like to be, ignorant or misled?

Goatmon

That was surprisingly messed up.

AMBER DO MOAR  :U

Naldru

A cube of Cuban cubi Cubists would live in cubicles while doing cube roots and designing cubic zirconium jewelery.

Since various others were mentioned but I haven't seen this one here:

A coalition of cats (or is that more specific to cheetahs?)
"Cogito, ergo es. I think, therefore you is." Ray D. Tutto (King of the Moon) to Baron Munschaussen

Janus Whitefurr

I'm just here to mention the official nomenclature for a group of ferrets.

A business of ferrets.

That is all.

Probably.  As I understand it with cheetahs, a coalition is a hunting pack made up of males, who are usually (but not always) brothers.  Most cats don't need to do this, but the cheetah doesn't have sharp enough claws to hunt in the usual way.

I second these two!

Ooh ooh, a corps of undead!

This is the best suggestion in the whole thread. c:

Hmmm...

A cache of Weres;
A spectacle of Fae;
A collection of Mythos;
A personal army of /b/tards;
A quake of Warp-Aci; (Because that's likely how your room will look afterwards if you're unfortunate enough to have so many of them together you can call them a group)
A conflict of popes;

And of course

Which cannot be seconded or thirded or fourthted enough, and should in fact be infinited.

I think this should cover a few of them...

A 'party' of incubi though? Really?..Somehow I hardly think a group of us is gonna be up to anything but no good  :mwaha
Well I think that refers to the dictionaries definition of incubus/succubus stating that it's a sort of demon that has *cough* sex *cough* with someone while the person is asleep (or at lease, that is my dictionaries definition).

A bowl of sugar Cubes. = Cubi

OH GOD, THIS. You win the whole thread.

I'm partial to "cornucopia" when referring to 'cubi.

"Indeed, I do not know why."

Doesn't that usually refer to an abundance of nice things...?

XDDDD

I rather like 'cube of Cubi' and 'corps of Undead.'

A cuddle of Cubi
A cuddle of Mows!
A claw/pride of Demons
A flock/flight of Gryphons
A pride of Dragons
A school of Mer
A swarm of Insectis
(It seems Angels don't get into groups that often, but I'm going to say 'wing,' 'flock,' or 'flight.')
A swarm/army of Undead

^ (Partly serious)

Though I think I'll largely stick to 'group' unless I hear an official term.

I thought it referred to an abundance of corn. :<

WHY DOES MY DICTIONARY CONTINUE TO FAIL ME?




No seriously, I didn't really think that, but I had to say it.

A Swordfish of Phoenixes?

In the tradition of Phoenixes being obtuse. . . .

A lite-brite of Phoenixes
A clown-nose of Phoenixes
An empty bottle of Phoenixes
A gargle of Phoenixes

or if they've consulted their lawyers. . . .

A COD of Phoenixes

Infranscia

Ooh!  A company of Phoenixes!

...A wright of Phoenixes? *brick'd*
