I saw a couple of places talking about this, and thought I'd grab a snapshot:

Now doesn't that look like...
....the tauntaun from Star Wars: Empire Strikes Back? You be the judge...

Note the same bipedal stance with little arms...even the curled horns on the head are similar.
There were actually several samples of these critters on the site I looked at (Fallen Kingdoms), and the one I included here is purported to be from Linvak...which is a cold place, sort of like Hoth. The others don't look anything like a tauntaun. Pity...
Note: Added the link to the Fallen Kingdoms AC2 site to the message
