Teratoid

ter-a-toid (ˈtɛrətɔɪd)

adjective
1. severely malformed.
Though often seen as corrupted, teratoid creatures, like the two-headed baby, are also interpreted as prophetic symbols. For instance, dreaming of having a two-headed baby means that you have created a problem and see two options for getting out of it; it also means you dreamt of having a two-headed baby.
2. having the character, quality, or appearance of a monster.
The teratoid shadows in our pathway alarmed and terrified us.

Synonyms: abnormal, egregious, malformed, monstrous.
