They first appeared in Long's short story "The Hounds of Tindalos", first published in the March 1929 issue of *Weird Tales*.

Humans and other terrestrial lifeforms supposedly dwell inside the "curves" of time, whereas the Hounds of Tindalos are claimed to exist in the "angles" of time. Few victims survive their assaults, therefore nothing is known about their appearance. Nevertheless, it is known that they have hollow feeding proboscises and are linked with a blue pus-like material. Whenever there are angles or corners, especially ones that are sharper than 120 degrees, hounds may emerge. Smoke pours out of the corner before they arrive, then their head and body when they break through into the cosmos.
