====== The Backward Dog ======

Sometimes confused with the Hounds of Tindalos because it doesn't quite live in the same dimensions as humanity. Whereas the Hounds track through corner space, seeking prey in different time periods in curved space and are numerous in number, the Backward Dog merely travels backward in time and as far as anyone knows, is unique.

No one knows what it preys on, but one of the long term residents of the hotel reckons it seeks those out of time. Any unfortunate who somehow isn't living in their correct time.

==== The Unstalking ====


The victim will first know they are doomed when they see the dog in some dark corner licking its lips while saliva drips upward from the floor into its mouth.

Sometime in the near future for the victim, they will see the dog again as it regurgitates meat in a back room that no one goes to.

The victim may then see the dog a few days later as it pushes a headless half-eaten corpse into one of the more travelled corridors of the hotel, where it will then start regurgitating more meat onto it, until it is a completely whole (but headless) corpse.

The last encounter the victim will have with the dog, is when the victim sees something rolling down the corridor towards them. It stops several meters away and by the time they realise its their own head, the dog has leapt backwards through them as the head rises up to the victim.

Both the victim and the dog then disappear into causality.
