A 'Typhoon' is a weather system (much much bigger than a cloud), other names for one (in different oceans) are 'Cyclone' and 'Hurricane.
You are probably thinking of a 'Tornado' which is formed out of one cloud called a super-cell or 'Cumulonimbus' cloud.
Cumulonimbus
a cloud that forms before a thunder storm or hurricane
A typhoon is a storm system that forms over the waters of the oceans. The disadvantages of the typhoon is the property damage, land damage, and deaths that occur with these massive storms.
A typhoon, that is, a tropical cyclone that forms in the northwestern Pacific Ocean, rotates in an anti-clockwise direction.
No, a landspout is a type of tornado that forms without a wall cloud or mesocylcone. They are usually weaker than regular tornadoes.
Cumulonimbus
The cloud that forms the visible part of a tornado is called a funnel cloud.
This type of cloud would be known as a stratus cloud
a cloud that forms before a thunder storm or hurricane

stratocumulus cloud
Each cloud type forms at a relative specific altitude and has a characteristic shape.
