That's a more obvious rivalry than a rip off. Two ultra powerful monsters that collect/steal and hoard treasure wouldn't really get along well with eachother. Plus it may have some historical context, though I would have to do research on that. All I do really know is that people thought that Protoceratops skeletons were the bones of Griffins when they were first discovered in a gem mine.
