Artist's description:

Well, well Hound of Tindalos is one of my most unique takes on Cthulhu Mythos entities. These weird monsters are often portrayed looking like weird, reptilian dogs with long blood sucking tongues. I find this depiction quite unfavorable (Even if those creatures themselves are quite fun). Hound of Tindalos is supposed to look completely different.

First and foremost these creatures live in a different dimension from ours, dimension apparently consisting completely of angles. Also to invade our reality they can only use angled surfaces. Therefore my "hound's" body is consisting exclusively of angular structures that can be extended or retracted at will They do not bend but break at random points forming temporary joints that are shortly after absorbed back into the limb. To imagine how these limbs look and move think of some cartoony lightningslowed down. Also, the two mandible-like limbs on the head are used to open hole in our reality when the hound invades it. This time think of surgical retractors used to open the wound…

Their spiky form would naturally bring evil to the mind of the observer and their surreal movements trough constant breaking and straightening would make him think that they perhaps have no real bodies.

Anyway, this is one of the designs I am most proud of.

"Beyond life there are'--his face grew ashen with terror--'things that I cannot distinguish. They move slowly through angles. They have no bodies, and they move slowly through outrageous angles.'"

"'All the evil in the universe was concentrated in their lean, hungry bodies. Or had they bodies? I saw them only for a moment, I cannot be certain."

"'God, they are breaking through! They are breaking through! Smoke is pouring in from the corners of the wall. Their tongues--ahhh--"'
