aberrational

Far from standard

Aberrational describes something that deviates from the normal or expected pattern—an anomaly or departure from the standard: an aberrational result in the data, aberrational behavior for someone usually so calm.

The word implies the deviation is notable precisely because it contrasts with an established norm.
