Besides some Hollywood "queens", "drag queens" and "whatnot"?
Not a Drill Sergeant.
"The mandrill (Mandrillus sphinx) is a primate of the Cercopithecidae (Old-world monkeys) family,[3] closely related to the baboons and even more closely to the Drill.
Both the mandrill and the drill were once classified as baboons in genus Papio, but recent research has determined that they should be separated into their own genus, Mandrillus.[3]
The mandrill is the world's largest species of monkey."
Unlike the humans:
"The mandrill is recognized by its olive-colored fur and the colorful face and rump of males, a coloration that grows stronger with sexual maturity; females have duller colours.
This coloration becomes more pronounced as the monkey becomes excited and is likely to be an example of sexual selection.
The coloration on the rump is thought to enhance visibility in the thick vegetation of the rainforest and aids in group movement."

Seeing is believing.
Image is everything.
What you see is what you get.
Show me the [money?].
Look at the upper right maximum card: notice that the face is NOT the only body part that is brightly colored.
Also, notice the huge canine teeth!
There have been documented cases when a coordinated gang of several muscular males have had enough testosterone-induced courage, aggressivity and stamina to counterattack and kill a powerful leopard!
Eat it, too, while they were at it.
The trick is that they attacked simultaneously, not just one at a time.
"One-at-a-time Attack Rule
Ebert also refers to the One-at-a-time Attack Rule "In any situation where the hero is alone, surrounded by dozens of bad guys, they will always obligingly attack one at a time."[1] This can traditionally be observed in many martial arts movies. During a typical fight, the hero will engage against one opponent. Upon knocking that man out, another will attack. The surplus enemies will circle the fighting pair striking fearsome poses, indicating willingness to fight at a second's notice, yet be unwilling to help the current aggressor attack the hero. The real world reason for this is that if the hero is simultaneously swarmed on all sides by enemies, it becomes difficult for the film director to frame the fight scene while still having an unobstructed shot of the action."

These are not friendly looking fellas in any way. Great information. Thanks.
And in the real world if the hero is swrmed by enemies, he will go down and that's the end of the movie.
I wouldn't want to meet one on a dark night, but at least I'd see it coming.
Oh I love these cards. They look a bit scarey but gorgeous at the same time!
