After seeing all this, I read the chapter as well, particularly for the Eclair bit.

For the Dyst matter, the mark has been the main indicator so far, along with the animators coloring him and the boy the same and their motivations fitting together so far.

The issue is that that prologue takes place no more than 7 years prior to the movie and that is where Momon is created. However, here we can see that he was apparently alive over 100 years ago. We could create the idea that Eclair has had multiple such companions but it seems rather fishy that that would be the case, not to mention that if it were, she wouldn't have been so shocked when the Phoenix stone brought the stuffed animal to life.

Tbh, I would just like to leave it as it is and consider the Momon here to be some random chicken cause changing things around due to this single cameo would be a pain in the ass and could potentially cause other continuity issues if we dig deep enough.
