A galaxy shaped like a splotchy blob is typically an irregular galaxy. Unlike spiral or elliptical galaxies, irregular galaxies do not have a distinct shape or structure, often appearing asymmetric and chaotic. They are usually rich in gas and dust, which can lead to ongoing star formation, giving them a patchy or splotchy appearance. Examples include the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds, which are irregular galaxies that orbit the Milky Way.
