I don't get a Thing vibe from anything in 1-3. The point of The Thing is that it copied the DNA of its host and tried to blend in as that creature, but rapidly exposes itself when in danger. There's nothing that resembles it in any RE until 4, where getting headshots on a normal-looking villager will cause a plagas to come out of the wound and attack, and bosses will quickly mutate from a normal human form into their true plagas form to fight you.

Pic even looks like those spidery plagas you see in the castle. Detaches from the cultist's head, breaks loose, and attacks you with its spider legs.
