Unwonted.
i've read a dictionary and found a word 'unwonted' which means incredible.
So does the meaning is right? Can I use it to make a sentence like this?
Merlin has an unwonted behavior. He always climbs that tall tree every midnight.

Hi,
I don't associate 'unwonted' with 'incredible'.
Nor does my dictionary, which says simply 'not customary or usual'.
Nor do I see the word 'incredible' here.

Your example is, I guess, possible but it's very unnatural. "wont" (not to confused with "won't") means usual or customary therefore "unwonted" means not usual or not customary.
