Can't remember which one it was one pointed out that the Great Cats you see in the basegame have Omen horns that have been cut off. So it might be that the Lion Dancers are based on the original, much larger, versions of those and Marika took their 'divine beasts', cut off their horns and forced them into service with crude armor and arm blades put on them as a means to deemen the Hornsent even further by reducing objects of worship to basic beasts of war.

Dancing Lion is based on "獅子舞(Shishimai)" a traditional Japanese performing art that involves one or more people dancing. If you search for the image, you will see that Shishimai and Dancing Lion have almost the same structure. In other words, Dancing Lion is Elden Ring's version of Shishimai. Even the name Dancing Lion is a direct translation of Shishimai. Shishi=Lion,Mai=Dancing

The lion dance is a lucky charm for the New Year that has the meaning of ``warding off evil spirits'' and ``dispelling epidemics.'' It was introduced from China in the 7th century along with gigaku (gigaku), and there is a record that it was performed at the beginning of a play as a dance to exorcise evil spirits. For the Japanese, the lion was a imaginary sacred animal, an object of faith that warded off evil spirits and warded off epidemics.
