I have a theory that these guys are just... leftovers. As confirmed in Endogeny's flavor text and Mrs. Drake's appearance, the Amalgamates as a whole are amorphous. What if, when the subjects first formed, they "shedded" a lot of their bodies off? The discarded monster matter then could have conglomerated into an entirely new form of life. Alphys doesn't seem to be aware of their presence, either, as she only takes four Amalgamates out of the lab(Endogeny, Reaper Bird, Lemon Bread, and Mrs. Drake), and the Memoryheads are the only Amalgamates found just outside the lab. This could also explain their dialogue, as their nature likely requires them to add matter to their bodies to grow and adapt.
