Perhaps there's something larger than the entity?
Bear with me here;
We all know the entity and the trials and the like, but I've had a thought; what if there is some, for lack of a better word, larger entity?
We knew already that the fog does not follow the entity's rules to the letter, and indeed both survivors and killers can manipulate it, whether reading the memories stored within (the observer), alter the very fabric of (the entity's) reality (Vigo), or even hide from the entity's eyes (both, though I also have a theory the entity lets them live).
However, since the fog is presumably part of the entity, what gives simple people the ability to manipulate it in such a large capacity and still stay hidden? The only thing I can think off is the fog doesn't belong to the entity, or in the very least doesn't come from it. The fog could be it's very own entity within the entity, and is doing simply what it wants, or is not even sentient and just takes commands from whoever figures out how it works.

Nah, The Fog's pretty clearly not from a seperate being, but comes from The Entity. It can be used against The Entity's wishes, but that's because The Entity is such a sprawling dimensional behemoth that it doesn't have absolute control over every part of itself. Talbot Grimes' wacky torture adventures prove how big its blind spots can be.
Though I don't think The Fog is actually a direct part of The Entity. Based on my impressions of it, it's more like the substance that enables The Entity's Realm to exist. Like the sticks that form a beaver's dam. The Entity probably manipulates/manufactures it, but I don't think it's directly part of the creature.
Observer stuff does generally state that The Entity isn't alone in its crazy elder god powers, though. I very much doubt any of those other creatures will ever be explored though, unless Behaviour get the rights to add the State of Maine as a playable Killer in a Stephen King themed chapter.

I always wondered about the Entity being less intelligent than we give it credit for - like it's manipulations and focuses on fear is more a passive effect that manipulates the mind, more than a strong consciousness. The characters' minds are used against them.
Also, I have a head-cannon idea that the Entity gives an impression that it's high and mighty to those trapped within, but there is a bigger role to play - as if these realms are a tiny part of something bigger. There's a podcast called The Magnus Archives, and this game actually fits ridiculously well with the post-collapse world; archivist, damnation and all!

I think it can be both, the entity acts all right and mighty but it doesn't always foresee everything and we also don't give it to much credit. I keep seeing post about how michael and ph don't respect the entity and are going to starve it but at the end of the day they are just 2 out of 24 I think? Anyway I think I'm getting off-topic, I just think it's funny when people mention that.

Myers is quite happy doing his thing, and although the Entity doesn't control him, he's quite chilled to do whatever because it involves pain and death, so his disobedience is little more than: "Yeah, I'm gonna kill that guy my way today". Minor, in the grand scheme of things.
Pyramid Head is more troublesome, since he's a part of Silent Hill that's governed by a mythical Sun Goddess that also feeds on emotions - more specifically fears, hopes and guilt. Even the Silent Hill map is heavily chained; either linking the 2 deities, or an attempt by the Entity to hold on to this creation - so embued with power is Silent Hill. The survivor can control the Entity for a brief moment, and Pyramid Head pretty much carves, damages and steals from the Entity, nevermind what psychologically it is doing to everything around!
The Entity is powerful in the cosmic scheme of things, but even when it has some difficulty with beings less independantly powerful (The Huntress and her Beast Of Prey perk; Rin Yamaoka's rage), then it makes me think it's definitely not an almighty God - more an intensly powerful and cosmically destructive parasite.
