So are these just a new flavor of quasiparticle, like an electron “hole”, or are they possibly real particles? The article seems contradictory.

Right now they are neither a real particle or quasiparticle. They are a hole in a "theorem" that was previously thought to close off our imagination to new basic categories of particles.
