There are two things to note on this. There is a difference between a tulpa a person creates and a being created through the tulpa phenomenon or tulpa theory of creation. Both follow the basic principal of belief in the entity fueling its existence. A tulpa you create is mainly described here. It's your own conscious creation that lives as a sentien separated part of your consciousness. Something created through the tulpa phenomenon could be like Santa Claus or Slender Man. Something that exists and has its attributes through mass belief and in some cases fear. Basically, if the entity is truly real enough to enough people, it does exist to them and can eventually become a cultural icon like Santa or Slendy has. This all can also be traced to reality manipulation, as this in-depth and intense belief can enter these entities into the believers' realities.
