Is there a function that can draw an ellipsoid like matlab's ellipsoid
function?

from matplotlib.patches import Ellipse
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

x = 0.5
y = 0.5
a = 4
b = 1
theta = 45.0
ell = Ellipse((x, y), a, b, theta)

ax = plt.gca()

ax.add_artist(ell)
plt.show()

There are some additional kwargs to the Ellipse constructor that allows you to control color and such.

I hope that helps!
