monstrous
Grotesquely huge, horrifying
Monstrous describes something unnaturally large, ugly, or horrifying—like a monster.
A monstrous creature inspires fear; a monstrous crime shocks the conscience.
The word often emphasizes shocking scale or moral outrage: a monstrous lie, monstrous cruelty.
Informally, monstrous can simply mean enormous: a monstrous wave, monstrous portions.
