That's just random chaos, true chaos is more unexpected than mashing some keys. Random letters that happen to spell Modron backwards is the essence of chaos. Call it Douglas Adams chaos if you like.
D&D 5E What is the opposite of a Modron?
Random chaos? These were the "random" characters which the computer recalled from memory... Ultimate chaos is not caring at all... maybe even using the name "Modron"...

Hi, I'm a Mindflayer, but don't let that worry you
In D&D lore, each alignment has a representative creature that embodies that alignment. They are:
- Lawful Good Archons (Angels)
- Neutral Good Guardinals
- Chaotic Good Eladrin
- Lawful Neutral Modrons
- Chaotic Neutral Slaadi
- Lawful Evil Devils
- Neutral Evil Yugoloths
- Chaotic Evil Demons

You somehow missed the opportunity to go with the anagram "rondom". I award you no points, and may god have mercy on your soul
Yes, but nobody else would call them that, is the thing. Everyone else in the multiverse needs the name that can be pronounced. You come into the bar and say you are a "Qyyyeeerrghghfhffggfrgfdg", the rest of the bar is going to say, "Can we just call you Bruce? It'll cut down on the confusion."
You can rearrange "modron" to be "rondom" - which is not quite perfectly "random", which seems about right.
But, the canonical answer is that the opposite of creatures that are perfect gemometical solids... is frogs. That, again, sounds about right.

Slaadi don't seem chaotic enough to me, with their pattern of colors and formula of reproduction etc..
Something more akin to Wild Magic or that scrambles race/alignment seems more appropriate.
Guardinals must be from a previous edition, hmm...
Lessdrons?
Its arguable though that the Slaad are actually the opposite of the formians
I think the hagunemnon* are a better fit for the opposite of the modrons and/or inevitables. Being ever shifting masses of flesh as opposed to highly regular metallic forms. Granted the slaadi are flesh too, but they're relatively regular which can be seen as a counterpart to the formians' relative variability.

I have had a realization. The adherance to generally consistant anatomy and orderly composition necessary to create a creature is the roadblock we must overcome. I think ive cracked it.
We dont need a chaotic exemplar.
What we need is a planar disease/plague
One that can only befall the 8 exemplar races (excluding CN) like a super cancer.
Thus would result in 8 different subtypes of the "cn exemplar outsider". 8 different types due to them having a superficial resemblance to the starting material prior to the change. If they ever progress with the disease to the point of terminal illness (death) they can no longer even maintain consistant physical form and they "melt" into the planar substrate.
