This is the rear end of Mona. Note that his tail is small and round, like a bear's.
Mona is thought to have originated on either Ayashii World or Amezou, which were both precursors to 2ch. He looked more bearlike then, and his catchphrase was "omae-ra mo himana yatsurada nā" (おまえらも暇な奴らだなぁ), translating to "You guys have too much spare time", a saying used to remind internet users to go touch grass. This original variant of Mona is sometimes called Great Ancestor Mona (ご先祖モナー).
Then someone replied to a Mona with another Mona saying "omae mona" (マエモナー), meaning, "So do you!" or "Look who's talking!" That instantly became Mona's new catchphrase.
Round-Eared Monas are another type of Mona, often used as background characters.
