Was this character created on 01.01.2000 or afterwards? (Meaning officially, not a creator who was thinking about creating it for a few years in their head but the first official publishing of the character)

I'd like to ask for clarification matters (not to count for the 20 questions), with this question, a single japanese creator would qualify here, since a single person is not a company, do I understand that correctly? Or did your answer include japanese creators?

Is it an animal? (i.e. a member of a species, possibly extinct, that live(d) on Earth)

Did the character appear in a different medium before video game?

If yes, my free guess is Paddington bear.

If yes, my free guess is Paddington bear.

But if the answer to female is yes or animal is no then clearly no guess.

Fair, won’t count as your guess since not animal

1. Not a real person who is now dead
2. Not a real person
2.5 (I guess) not human
3. Video game character *(not exclusively)
4. Has fur.
5. Character appears in a film or tv series
6. Not created by a Japanese company
7. Created before 01.01.2000
8. Not female
9. Not an animal
10. Appeared before video game in a different medium

so technically we already had 11 questions

Incorrect guesses:
- Pikachu

Incorrect but doesn't count as guess:
- Paddington bear

So we have a non-human non-animal character with fur (I'd also like to point out that the answer to the fur-question had an exclamation mark behind, so it seemed more important to me). That leaves not much, like an alien or a fantasy creature? I'm pretty sure toys or other creatures in animal shape would count as animals here, or am I wrong?

@VillageIdiot, please react to my clarification inquiry regarding japanese company/japanese creator.

Please also clarify if a non-animal in the shape of an animal would count as animal for question 9 (or rather question 10 since we missed 2.5 before) or not and we would need another question if we would want to rule said option out. Like, I wanted to guess Sonic the hedgehog since pretty early but clearly he has arms and legs like a human so he isn't an animal, or would he count as one since he has the title 'the hedgehog' and has this needle-fur and some animal features? (not guessing but for clarification purposes, please tell us if he would count or not)

I assume it must be a fictional, made up sort of creature, not any real species at all.

@Kak: It can't be Sonic the Hedgehog because he was created by a Japanese company. Plus obviously a hedgehog is a real kind of animal.

Which of the following lines of questioning, if any, shall we go for?
A: Created by author(s) from which country?
B: When was it created?
C: Physical characteristics of the creature, e.g. size, can it fly, does it live in the water, etc.

I think C might be a good idea, since we already know it's not a human, not an animal and it has fur.
