Who else is out there?

Conspiracy Theorist:
Think outside the box, the Baku is not from any mythology, it exists because people believed it into existence from the Never Never.

This leads to the terrifying possibility of an entire pantheon coming into existence in a similar fashion to which Harry would be powerless to oppose.

Ronald McDonald, the Hamburglar, Grimace, Mayor McCheese, Birdy The Early Bird, The Fry Kids, The McNugget Gang they all exist in part of the Never Never known as McDonald Land. The one part of the Never Never Harry never wants to be stranded in. Clearly every McDonalds Restaurant borders upon McDonaldland in the NeverNever, so if Harry were ever to open a Gateway in a Restaurant that’s the particular Hell it would open onto.

Of course food in the Never Never has no nutritional value, just like McDonalds in the real world.

Ooh, like in "American Gods"! Or the random beings created when the Hogfather is assassinated (sort of).

Conspiracy Theorist:
Very much so, there are so many humans believing so many things that they will express themselves in the Never Never and eventually cross over into the mortal world and manifest.

That is the danger of the Eye or Ferrovax breaking reality, you would have breakfast cereal mascots rubbing shoulders with superheroes and cartoon characters in the “real” world. This is why I suspect the Mantle of Santa was created in the first place, it was a lightening rod for all that belief, grounding it in a single individual, same with churches and organised religion. However you now have the all these other things where belief is collecting and not being grounded, especially since WW2 with cinema and television and the internet - and because wizards have problems with these things they have a tremendous blindspot.

Indeed I post that human belief and its technology will give rise to the singularity, also known as the White God.
