Possible, but I have a theory on this as well. I believe it to be very possible that Manus and the Pygmy are one and the same. Manus' Soul is actually made of humanity, where as all other boss souls are normal (and I use that term loosely) souls. Depending on which theory you believe in, if the Dark Soul is actually the substance from which all humanities are formed from, the idea that Manus' Soul is a bunch of humanity merged into a single entity could suggest that it is infact the Dark Soul, or even just a piece of it. Either way, he's the only creature I'm aware of who's soul is constructed of humanity.
