Oddly enough, the very first designs for Munch was in fact experiment rabbits.
Octigi = Octipi
Elum = Mule
Mongo = Congo

I've noticed that in Oddworld, most or all of the creatures have real life comparisons. For example, a slog is a dog, a fleech is a leech. I've made a list of some of the creatures with comparisons, but some of them I don't know.

Oddworld is intended to merely be a twist off of our own world, so it would make sense if a lot of things had real life resemblances. Not just by name, but what they represent themselves in appearance. For example, Steefs look just like gorillas mixed with rams, maybe horses.
