I like potato-shaped :) because of the potato radius (https://www.technologyreview.com/2010/04/12/27697/potato-radius-to-define-dwarf-planets/). In the CSPICE computational libraries (https://naif.jpl.nasa.gov/naif/aboutspice.html), all bodies are modeled as "potatoes", or, formally, triaxial ellipsoids.

EDIT: the numbers I have say the triaxial diameters are 360.2 km × 266.0 km × 205.4 km

I believe that celestial bodies become rounded by their own gravity, but is there a certain minimum size where that won't happen?

This stackexchange answer discusses this some. It depends on the material and mass. Pallas is also not spherical, nor is Vesta. Pallas is a good bit bigger (mean radius over 200km).

Does anyone know, are those impact craters on its surface?

It’s clearly a giant egg, possibly space Godzilla?

Just to behold, some are 6 miles deep and eons old, only one of the stories Cassini told!

Alright had to double check, it is one of the images from Cassini’s targetted flyby in 2005. Absolutely wild how the craters of water ice and mineral appear and the raw curiosity this draws up.

Parts of the surface almost appear porous. I wonder if that's the case or it's just many impacts

Potato or egg shaped caused by impact of other objects or it just formed this way from its beginning?

WTF, where’s the huge city and all the robots?

I think it's cool that it's "kinda-sorta round". Like it's obviously not spherical but it does have a relatively defined smooth-ish shape.

Hyperion is also one of like, only three known natural satellites in the solar system that isn’t tidally locked with its parent planet. A very unique satellite, indeed!
