Preferred term

teratology

In the twenty-first century, freak shows are more about performance than somatic oddity. Suspension of disbelief must accompany the exhibit that purports to be a cross between species, and even the most naïve person knows that unusual physical features such as extra limbs or variant statures do not result from supernatural forces.
