Monobaatar is an extinct mammal genus from the Lower Cretaceous of Mongolia. It was within the also extinct order of Multituberculata, and lived during 'the age of the dinosaurs'.
(For the technically minded, suborder "Plagiaulacida". It's been tentatively referred to the family Eobaataridae, though it probably isn't a member.)
