I'm seeing references for both Legendaries and Legendries. The latter sounds very British, but maybe that's just me.

IMO definitely Legendaries, but my spell checker doesn't think that's a word :)

Here's the thing: "legendary" is an adjective which we've nouned.

So any real grammarians will answer "none of the above."

That said, most nouns in English that end in "-y" are pluralized as "-ies."

Legendaries is what I like but that is not really a word as noted above Gamers have nounified it (nounified is also not a word) :whistle:

Hey some crazy people have to keep Jeff and the dealers in business. Now a harder question is what is the plural of eldrich?

Elders per my Apple autocorrect.

Elderi if eldrich is not a plural of itself

The plural of more than one Legendary token is Legendary tokens (or Oranges, I suppose - keeping with the theme of all of the other tokens). Grammatically. However, English is a dynamic language.
