Cynocephalus mormon: Papio Mormon (Rib-nosed Baboon, Mandrill). Mormoops megalophylla (Ghost-faced Bat). Mormosaurus seeleyi (Mormosaurus). These and other fascinating creatures share a variant of the "mormos" label because before the word Mormon became associated with the LDS Church, it was a zoological term which meant "having the appearance of a hideous monster." Check out these amazing mormos animals (including pictures) at "All God's Creatures, Including Mormos." My personal favorite is the Papilio polymnestor (Blue Mormon) butterfly.
