OP Is there a word for a person who is deformed using the combining form terato-?
Does "teratomaton" work?
Teratomaton - the trillion vegetables in "Attack of the Killer Tomatoes" movies.
On a more serious note, are you serious about labelling people as "monster acting"?
OP I don't want to label anyone anything. This is just a word question. Is there a terato noun for teratological creatures?
OP (Nice tomato joke, BTW)

lycopersicum deformis - the deformed wolf-peach. The Romans didn't have a word for tomato since it's a New World plant.

ah, you are so right of course, that escaped my goofmind.Lycopersicum deformis- the deformed wolf-peach sounds interesting though. I'll google it right away.
SHOOT!
You won't believe this: I google lycopersicum deformis + images and this is what I get:"solanum lycopersicum"
lycopersicum
What is it this forum: Wonderland?Abacadabra?
EDIT: Myridon, I'm no latinist,(would have liked it though).
(?)Haha! By now I know you fooled me well! No wolf no peach.I could have known after the sempervirens etc. business, but.. I had a good laugh out of it.So you now deserve this awful unlubricous smile: It kept me off the street.

lycopersicum deformis
Maybe in ISV English, but in Latin, it would be lycopersicum deforme: neuter nominative-accusative singular of a third declension adjective.
Ceci n'est pas un seing.
"monstrosity"
Found it by entering in OneLook's reverse dictionary
deformed human
