"Teratoid
Resembling a monster; abnormal; of a pathological growth, exceedingly complex or
highly organized. S. D. Gross."

I love how  "exceedingly complex or highly organized" becomes synonymous with
"Resembling a monster; abnormal"!

"Teratology
The biological study of malformations and monstrosities."
