I can see it being a prison, maybe with a god, a naagloshii or two, and a bunch of lower level beings, but six naagloshii, as the least of the prisoners? I think there's something seriously wrong with the scale, unless Jim's retroactively hitting Shagnasty with the badass decay hammer.

I thought it was more about Jim showing us just how high the scale really goes. I mean, Harry almost took the thing before the WK powerup. Now that he is getting stronger, the baddies can show their true teeth.

The intent isn't, "Oh, the Naagloshii really wasn't that bad." The intent is, "The Naagloshii is the closest thing to pure, undiluted evil you've seen, and everything in the lower levels is worse than six of them."

I don't know, the naagloshii was losing the fight to a single WC wizard. Compare that to the Merlin - who can build a prison simultaneously at five different times, Mab - who could take on the entire WC by herself outside of Winter, and Mother Winter - who is more powerful than Mab. I'd say there is a lot of breathing room for worse than a naagloshii.
