That's irrelevant. You can't patent fantasy creatures. That's a copyright issue. If they were suing for copyright infringement I might think they had a point, but they're not.
I think the fact they're going for a patent suit says they probably think they don't have enough of an argument for a copyright suit which kind of makes sense. Just because the designs are similar doesn't mean it's copyright infringement.
