Hound of Tindalos

The Hounds of Tindalos are a fictional extra-dimensional species in the Cthulhu Mythos, originally created by Frank Belknap Long for his eponymous short story.
==Description==
The Hounds of Tindalos are extra-dimensional predatory creatures, capable of materializing at any point in space and time to feed upon victims. They are said to inhabit the "angles" of time; in contrast, humans and other earthly lifeforms live within the "curves" of time. Little is known about their appearance, as few victims survive their attacks; however, they are known to have hollow proboscises used for feeding, and are associated with a blue pus-like substance.
Hounds may appear wherever angles or corners may be found, especially those sharper than 120 degrees. When breaking through into the universe, their arrival is preceded by the appearance of smoke pouring from the corner, followed by their head and body.
