This puzzle is a complicated case of parallel invention and presentation. In 2012 Vladimir Yaroslavskiy presented a concept he named "Wolf & Sheep Cube" and illustrated it with the nonfunctional cube in image 4.

Wolf-like stickers are used to mark some edges of the 3x3x3. Please note that in the illustrating cube there was the namegiving sheep instead of a goat.
The movements are identical to a 3x3x3 but restricted in a new way. A permutation of the puzzle is considered illegal if two pieces with characters are placed adjacent to each other. All movements of which would result in such a state are blocked by the puzzle.
Evgeniy Grigoriev and Gregoire Pfennig took up the challenge to create 3D models for this puzzles.
While doing so Evgeniy Grigoriev came up with the idea to introduce the cabbage as third piece type on the faces. See the "Animal cube" in the museum.
Vladimir Yaroslavskiy took up this idea and created a DIY version which allows a lot of different variants. One might place as many character pieces as possible without creating an illegal state.
