Looking for a term

What do you call those nouns that are spelled the same even when they're pluralized? Such as "nemesis"?
What's the term to call these specific nouns?

THANKS IN ADVANCE:)

Yeah figured that out later:)
But just those nouns that don't require an "s" or any change of the word construct when it's pluralized.
Sorry my vocabulary is slim.
