HOUNDS OF TINDALOS IN THE MYTHOS
The Hounds of Tindalos dwell in the distant past of the earth, when normal life had not yet advanced past one-celled animals. They are said to inhabit the ''angles'' of time, while other beings (such as humankind and all common life) descend from ''curves''. The Hounds are thought to be immortal and are believed to lust after something in humankind and other normal life, and will follow victims through time and space to get it. Their appearance is unknown because no characters who meet them survive long enough to give a description. Though the Hounds are sometimes pictured as suggest that the Hounds are more bat-like in appearance, like the Byakhee , or may appear even worse. The name ''Hounds of Tindalos'' refers more to the creatures' habits than their appearance. Because of their relationship with the angles of time, they can materialize through any corner if it is fairly sharp—120ยบ or less. When a Hound is about to appear, it materializes first as smoke pouring from the corner, and finally the head emerges followed by the thing's body. It is said that once a human becomes known to one of these creatures, a Hound of Tindalos will pursue the victim through anything to reach its quarry. OTHER APPEARANCES
