An organism or group of organisms showing incomplete or partial monstrous development or abnormal features.
From hemi- (half) + terata (plural of Greek teratum meaning monster). This biological term developed to classify creatures with partial rather than complete abnormalities.
Hemiterata literally describes animals that are 'half-monstrous'—scientists use it for creatures born with partial deformities or unusual developmental features that don't fit normal growth patterns.
