In QFT and String theory
In string theory, by “exotic branes” [deBoer & Shigemori (2012)] one means first of all -branes of small codimension (“non-standard branes” Bergshoeff & Riccioni (2012)), such as
D7-branes (codimension 2 defect branes),
D9-branes (codimension 0).
More generally, exotic branes have been argued to be U-duality-twisted objects in non-geometric backgrounds.
According to deBoer & Shigemori 2012, p. 12 all these may be identified as codimension-2 defect branes with U-duality-group monodromy.
Figure 1 from (BMO19). «A comparison of the objects covered by the geometric solutions (backed by orange hashing) and non-geometric solutions (backed by green hashing) out of all the branes down to codimension- and1 , as well as their M-theory lifts. Red lines denote T-duality, blue lines denote lifts/reductions and black lines denote S-dualities.»
Branes of codimension are called non-standard branes in:

The terminology “exotic branes” is due to:

(discussion as defect branes with U-duality-group monodromy)
