Every other small enemy has a distinct connection to the area they're in. The ghouls are clearly the inhabitants of Blighttown after it became diseased, the demonic foliage of Darkroot are either natural predators of the area or a result of the incident in Oolacile, etc etc.

Every enemy is present for a reason in the game. A lot of people say that the Demon Firesage had no reason for being where it was, but if there's a link between him and the statues that resemble him perhaps there actually is a reason for his presence in Lost Izalith. I feel like marking off any enemy's presence as " just because"  is a mistake.
