Decahedron

Wikimedia Commons has media related to Decahedra.

In geometry, a decahedron is a polyhedron with ten faces. There are 32300 topologically distinct decahedra^[1]^[2] and none is regular, so this name is ambiguous.

With regular faces:

Octagonal prism (uniform 8-prism)
Square antiprism (uniform 4-antiprism)
Square cupola (Johnson solid 4)
Pentagonal dipyramid (Johnson solid 13, 5-bipyramid)
Augmented pentagonal prism (Johnson solid 52)

With irregular faces it can also be:

Pentagonal trapezohedron (5-trapezohedron, antiprism dual) — often used as a die in role playing games, known as d10
Enneagonal pyramid (9-pyramid)
