Does dwarf planet Haumea, which I would argue hits both habitat and appearance criteria, count? 😊 (sh.itjust.works)

Thanks! Can a planet of that shape hold an atmosphere?

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.
