A hound of Tindalos, d, is a type of monster that appears in dNetHack, notdNetHack and notnotdNetHack. The hound of Tindalos is an insight monster that is a carnivorous and primordial canine animal: hounds of Tindalos are unbreathing and amphibious, can be seen via infravision, and are capable of tracking the hero and detecting other creatures via normal sight and scent. Hounds of Tindalos have 8 points of natural AC and 3 points of 'special' DR. Seeing a hound of Tindalos can lower the hero's sanity and raise their insight. Tame hounds of Tindalos may turn traitor.

A hound of Tindalos has a vampiric polearm-range reach attack, a tentacle attack, and the ability to cast one mage monster spell during each of their turns (which will exclusively be open wounds). Hounds of Tindalos possess poison resistance.

Hounds of Tindalos can be warded by an Elder Sign at any level of reinforcement.

Generation

Hounds of Tindalos are not normally randomly generated, and are always created hostile. They are not a valid genocide target.

If a hero has high insight, hounds of Tindalos will periodically appear in packs, manifesting in clouds of blue mist from the corners of rooms.
