While those look like they're from Dark Souls, the one with the body by the tree actually resembles (to me) the wolf-in-sheep's-clothing aberration.
A mimic can take multiple forms as a shapeshifter. It is sticky to to the touch so its victims become glued to it when they interact with it.
A traditional D&D wolf-in-sheep's-clothing looks like a cute little animal (usually a bunny) on a tree stump. It attacks with tentacles when prey gets close enough. In Pathfinder, the wolf-in-sheep's-clothing was revised so it can use its previous victim as its new lure instead of just always having a bunny on top. In this case, the tree stump might have an animal sitting on it, or it might have a person, even someone the character knows. That creature on top is actually a corpse being animated by tendrils coming up from the creature it is sitting on. The wolf-in-sheep's-clothing uses its tendrils like hands in a puppet to make the creature on the stump seem alive.
Other aberrations also resemble other objects. The executioner's hood looks like a hood. It lands on someone's head and tries to suffocate them. Cloakers traditionally look like cloaks hanging on a wall until someone tries to put them on or interact with them, then they attempt to eat their victims. Clooakers are kind of intelligent though, so they may not always be found hiding as cloaks on walls. Neither of these creatures are shapeshifters, their natural forms just resemble these things.
Pathfinder combined three of the old-school aberrations (executioner's hood is one) into one race called the lurking ray. The executioner's hood is the juvenile form, while the male form are dive-bombing stalactite wannabes and the females are the rooms that eat a party when they walk in. It builds an ecology on these three disguise-monsters actually being the same kind of creature but with extreme sexual dimorphism.

The ones Ren and I posted are player-created concept fanart for Dark Souls. They're not actually in the game or players would be even more paranoid than they already are. Bonfires are supposed to be safe spots.

Nothing can beat the old tried and true classic chest mimic.
