My theory is that they're humans who were likely on Solstheim during the eruption of the Red Mountain. The ash covered most of Vvardenfell and parts of Morrowind - likely also reaching the south eastern parts of Solstheim (this could also explain why the Dunmer relocation was so smooth, what with the land being fertile enough to grow gigantic mushrooms in). Anyways, the ash probably hit these humans and some survived - voila, ash creatures.
