Bodies smaller than a few kilometers are dominated by non-gravitational forces and tend to have an irregular shape.

The extreme example of a non-spherical body in hydrostatic equilibrium is <a href="/wiki/Haumea" title="Haumea">Haumea</a>, which is twice as long along its major axis as it is at the poles.
