A WikiPlatypus is a variety of Wikipedia fauna, of incertae sedis. Like the duck-billed platypus after which it is named, a WikiPlatypus possesses the features of several different kinds of Wikipedia fauna and is difficult to put into one group. It may spend some of its time acting, for example, like a WikiDragon, other times like a WikiKnight, a WikiSloth, WikiGnome, etc. A WikiPlatypus may look up to, and strive to be, one of the nobler creatures (such as a WikiSloth or WikiKnight) but just can't quite control itself well enough to keep its nose out of other areas.
Unlike the real platypus, the WikiPlatypus insists on having its name pluralized as WikiPlatypi, and not *WikiPlatypuses. This is because things are different on the wiki.
