The way I see it, the Four Kings and Bloatheads are still human. They're simply corrupted by the Dark through exposure to high concentrations of Humanity, without being consumed by it. In theory, popping too many solid humanities in a short time would have a similar effect to the Abyss' effect, this is of course impossible from a gameplay perspective, as well as the Abyss housing humanity equal to multiple thousands, if not more, humanities which affect the person all at once.
