I feel like there are so many open ends to these things' lore. Like they could either be:

A) remnants/recreations of the Moonlight Butterflies, considering they surround the Grand Archives that were compiled after the rediscovery of Seath's forbidden knowledge,

B) wilted Chaos Demons that seek vengeance for the Demon Prince that Lorian defeated/banished, considering their use of Fire attacks and their root-like structure that seems to reflect the Bed of Chaos,

C) metamorphosed Pilgrims, based on the name and their resemblance to the Angels of the Dreg Heap, which are also projections of the Pilgrims, and because their attacks deal both Fire AND Dark damage.

They also kind of resemble the Four Kings in shape, and people often forget that while plant-matter is often associated with Chaos, Abyssal creatures also carry that motif, and Demons are constantly depicted harboring rivalry against the Dark. Chaos was actually fueled by Humanity/Dark in DS1, which strengthens both theories B and C...

Or they just thought they looked cool and figured they'd put every elemental hazard except for Magic in this boss fight.
