    I think they concluded it had survived a massive impact in its early(er) life which accounts for its spin, shape, orbit, and tiny moons.

    I just realised that the link to wiki I put in OP disappeared in to the void, if you wanna have a read from a more reliable source lol: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haumea

        No, but not directly because of its shape. It’s more that any planet with enough mass to hang on to an atmosphere will also be massive enough to squish itself into a sphere.
