it’s not the concept dude; you can’t copyright that (though you can patent very vague shit apparently, don’t get me started). plus that’s how you get genres. some their creatures look extremely similar.

notice how we’re not talking about cassette beasts or ooblets.

If that’s why, then why are they suing over patent infringement instead of copyright?

they haven’t specified much so i don’t know. but palworld steals very liberally.
