misshaped
Not properly shaped
Misshaped means badly shaped or deformed—having a form that deviates unpleasantly from the expected: a misshaped lump of clay, misshaped letters scrawled across the page.
The word functions as both the past tense of misshape and as an adjective synonymous with misshapen, though misshapen is more common in modern usage.
