The big question is does it have a planetary orbit or something weird like Pluto?

Sorry to burst any bubbles, but you need to realize this story is 8 years old. This body, now named Eris, is actually a big part of the story as to why Pluto was reclassified as a dwarf planet, even though Eris is a bit more massive than Pluto. As far as it's orbit, it is a highly elliptical and highly inclined orbit with a period of 557 years.

Didn't they up one of the large spherical asteroids to dwarf planet status too?
