Personally, I'd assumed that The Lyches represented the tormented souls of those who'd previously found the Tomb and died before they could penetrate it- after all, tormented souls is basically what the Lyches are, but in The Watcher's regular armies, he uses a far greater proportion of grunt troops to Lyches (in the level where he ambushes you in the marshes, he sends only a single Lyche to lead the entire army).
