* Named after the creatures created by [[Wikipedia:Frank Belknap Long|Frank_Belknap_Long]] called the "[[Wikipedia:Hounds_of_Tindalos|Hounds of Tindalos]]" from a short story of the same name. The creatures were mentioned in a short story in Lovecraft's novella [[Wikipedia:The_Whisperer_in_Darkness|The Whisperer in Darkness]] and was later properly codified in the [[Wikipedia:Cthulhu_Mythos|Cthulhu Mythos]] by August Derleth.

** The hounds are described to inhabit the angles of time, as opposed to other beings that descend from the curves of time. They safeguard the fabric of time and would hunt those that try to breech it, such as traveling through time.

*** Being descended from the angles of time, they can only manifest through any corner of having an angle of 120° or less.

** The hounds actual appearance were never fully revealed as the authors did not attempt to describe them, saying that their actual appearance was too foul and that their names, evocative of a canine, hides their actual form. They are said to possess a long hollow tongue to drain the victim's bodily fluids and they produce a blue ichor.

* Many of Tindalos' skills have a repeating pattern involving the number 3, this is due to his original lore of being able to manifest through angles of 120° or less, 120° is the third of a 360° angle or a full circle.
