Triton is the only large moon in the solar system with a retrograde orbit - which is pretty unusual.

Arguably, Jupiter's moon Io is the "most unusual" satellite in the solar system, with its sulfur volcanoes that can be seen from Earth. By comparison, Saturn's moon Titan, with its oceans of liquid methane, is fairly placid.

However, every planet and every satellite are markedly different from each other.
