We investigate the two-dimensional conformal field theories (CFTs) of $c=frac{47}{2}$, $c=frac{116}{5}$ and $c=23$ `dual to the critical Ising model, the three state Potts model and the tensor product of two Ising models, respectively. We argue that these CFTs exhibit moonshines for the double covering of the baby Monster group, $2cdot mathbb{B}$, the triple covering of the largest Fischer group, $3cdot text{Fi}_{24}$ and multiple-covering of the second largest Conway group, $2cdot 2^{1+22} cdot text{Co}_2$. Various twined characters are shown to satisfy generalized bilinear relations involving Mckay-Thompson series. We also rediscover that the `self-dual two-dimensional bosonic conformal field theory of $c=12$ has the Conway group $text{Co}_{0}simeq2cdottext{Co}_1$ as an automorphism group.
