From Beyond Time: Hounds of Tindalos enter the physical world on their own in pursuit of those who have trodden too much the netherways beyond time and reality—time travelers (be it physical travel or simply divinatory glimpses forward or backward in time) and creatures that teleport without regard to how this movement impacts subtle magical currents in the multiverse particularly draw their interest.

In addition, should any other creature whitin the Hound of Tindalos sight attempts to use any teleportation or time-altering effect whitin the Hound of Tindalos sight, it can instantly teleport to any position adjacent to them and perform a melee attack that ignores all miss chances (including mirror image and similar), DR and hardness. Then the ability resolves as normal, demanding a concentration check to don't lose it if applicable.
What better way to do in Christmas day than give the finishing touches on a Cthulhu-inspired pathfinder monster?
... What? Everybody at family's home's resting, I have a small pile of various candy to eat and watching holiday movies that only demand half a brain to follow. May as well put my hands to good use.
Anyway, the PF monster is quite solid. Three natural attacks, flies, some immunities, a nice variety of SLAs, and the swift teleport into angled places is a nice nod to the fluff.
