It's based on a real animal so it is not a copyright infringement to copy the creature:

When I was a little kid our neighbors had a few of these critters. They are pretty cute, actually. Their mom used to spin their hair to whool and make sweaters from it. Angora whool is softer and warmer than sheep whool and thus much more expensive.
