I remember a few months ago watching a TED talk from Jack Horner who is America's foremost palentologist. He stepped through a number of species of dinosaur we've assumed were different until he asked the logical question: How come we don't see the children and adolescent versions of these creatures?
The reason being is in some instances like Triceratops and Torosaurs are actually the same animals...just younger. But because Triceratops were discovered first, it was considered it's own creature and this small "puny" Torosaur couldn't possibly be the same thing. But he has taken strides to prove it's the same thing.
I feel like it's the same idea. Just because we hadn't seen the Little Ones first, doesn't mean we have a new species of zombie. Roman is pretty much the missing link to me. If he turned into what was described as a little one (#12 dead in the field) and to me he sounded different than he did the night before, I'd say it's almost a slam dunk that the little ones are adolescent Behemoths.
