Mome Raths are a creature species featured on ABC's Once Upon a Time in Wonderland. They are native to Wonderland, and first appear in the ninth episode.
Mome Raths are based on the creatures of the same name from the novel, Through the Looking Glass, and What Alice Found There.
Biology
Mome Raths are feline creatures with black fur and a mouth so full of fangs that it's like being pressed together by two beds of nails. They have purple eyes, which glow in the dark. Mome Raths are savage and deadly, and anyone who crosses their path runs a high risk of being attacked and eaten alive. Mome Raths are attracted to bright lights. ("Forget Me Not," "Nothing to Fear," "Dirty Little Secrets")

Trivia
On-Screen Notes
- In the Red Queen's book, Mome Raths are depicted as three-headed creatures.[1] ("Forget Me Not")
Props Notes
- The picture in Jafar's spell book[1] is an altered version of "Icon Monstrosae cuiusdam Chimaerae", an illustration by the sixteenth century Italian naturalist Ulisse Aldrovandi, from his book History of Monsters (Monstrorum historia cum Paralipomenis historiae omnium animalium), published posthumously in 1642. The original illustration shows a two-headed creature that is half lion, half goat. In the show's version, the creature's heads have been replaced, turning the creature into a three-headed monster that is half boar. ("Forget Me Not")
