Palworld.

Game developers aren't buying that several Pokemon and Palworld creatures look alike by mere coincidence.

While several Pals and 'mons look alike, the prevailing sentiment was that some homework was likely copied, but legal trouble was unlikely to follow – you can't copyright a sheep, after all.
