The minute Light of Motiram was unveiled, players likened it to the Palworld/Pokemon situation. Palworld, which heavily borrows from Pokemon, has found itself mired in legal controversy as Nintendo has sued its developer Pocketpair for infringement of patent rights.

None of which have anything to do with the monster designs. (Or have anything resembling legitimacy.)

I love Horizon’s setting, but they can’t (and shouldn’t be able to) keep other people from building robot dinosaurs/animals.
