Hypotrich Deformed or Mutation? 

I thought I'd found a new protist species! It was unique in my limited experience, but thanks to excellent opinions from several knowledgeable folks at microbehunter.com, the identification became clear: this is a hypotrich, either deformed or mutated. In this video, you can see a hyprotrich which is neither deformed or mutated, for comparison purposes.
Hypotrichs are protozoa, with cilia, but in addition they have bundles of cilia which are called "cirri." These bundles allow the hypotrichs to actually crawl around, not just swim around, in their environment. They are usually found in water, soil and moss samples. These were found in that plate in my yard, which is filled with vegetable debris and rainwater, along with rocks and soil from different locations in the area.
One of the microbehunter.com contributors, NachoBen, observed:
"I have sometimes found entire populations of Hypotrichs with various mutations (a real monsters parade!). The samples came from ponds where pesticide discharges." Another contributor, Bruce Taylor, also agrees with this identification. Thanks again, for sharing your extensive knowledge with a newbie to microscopy!
