Morphology

furless = fur (transparent) = fur + less

Standard adjectival formation 'fur' + '-less' meaning 'without fur', directly deducible by learners.

Etymology

The word furless is simply fur + -less, where fur means animal hair and -less means 'without', just like in homeless or hopeless. So a furless animal is one that has no fur.
