Note
The spelling follows the ordinary rule for nouns ending in a consonant plus y: the y becomes ies, as in trophy, trophies. The plural carries every meaning of the singular, from the cups and shields of competition to a hunter's displayed prizes, the captured weaponry a victor arranged for show, and, more darkly, the mementos a serial killer keeps. Context, not form, tells them apart.
