The Genera isn't too dumb to see EAT. They acknowledge EAT exists. There are just reasons why they wouldn't want to make it obvious they acknowledge it exists.

The other four Fears do not exist by themselves in Topography Genera. The Quiet and The Unnamed Child got mixed in with another Fear in the canon to become a single Fossil in the story, but The Eye and The Smiling Man are simply not in the canon. We might decide to put them in later-- we haven't outright said, in the story, that those two specific concepts definitely do not exist.

Remember, there is no official list of Fears. Let me say that again: There is no official list of Fears. A story that wants to incorporate a large number of Fears doesn't have to incorporate everything that has been called a Fear. It all depends on which Fears you think would best suit your story.

As for Lamia, probably. I really don't remember; alliterator's the one who's been writing with Shalott and her servants.
