Hum, where did you see a Momo ?

Momos were described in a previous event for Halloween (in 2006 ?) and they have a certain ressemblance to Matis.

Yep, 2006. See my earlier screenies for that description.

It would seem from that the Momos were wiped out because they simply wouldn't flee. When homins encroached on their lands, they'd fight them until the last Momo.

Pretend-logic hurts my brain. I could conclude just as 'unequivocally' that the fact that yelks appear in every ecosystem except the jungle can only mean that yelks are a biological weapon developed by the Zoraï using stolen Karavan technology...

There's nothing in the official lore that even hints at the Matis conducting Goo experiments. They merely screw around with every living being's genetic code. (And if they experimented on homins, d'you really think they'd spare their own kind?) None of the civilizations allow Goo research, only some renegade tribes conduct in it.

True... but no more so than a Gibai and a Zora...

As for the Momos' extinction... it says in the lore that the Matis pushed them into extinction through hunting... (they didn't have to kill every momo, just enough to prevent a population recovery)
