Age of Conan had the Black Ones from the original REH’s story, so maybe the Gray Ones are some kind of ofshoot of the Black Ones. In the story the Black Ones used magic to transform living beings into inanimate figurines.

The Gray Ones seem to possess (or once possessed) a similar ability, but the figurines we can un-shrink are wildly diverse: living humans, undead, aliens, even Blood Moon Beasts (whatever the f they are).
