This paper contains one example of asymmetric monopole produced by rotating figure shown about thehorizontalaxis passing through the center of mass.

enter image description here

The figure was (apparently) obtained by adjusting spherical harmonics coefficients to nullify multipole moments (and outer curve isnota circle).
