grotesque

Which Means:

Something that is odd or unnatural in looks, size, or shape; very ugly, strange or absurd; bizarre.

As In:

You might see grotesque gargoyles at old castles, churches, or homes; they can be waterspouts or just decoration. Either way, they are said to scare away evil spirits.

Heads Up!

This word to Miss Spelling is 'onomatopoeic'. That means that it sounds like what it means.
