Doel

"In my room at night I have talked with the Doels. And in dreams I have seen their maker."

- Halpin Chalmers

The Doels are a mysterious species, apparently allied with the Hounds of Tindalos. Halpin Chalmers claims to have communicated with them.

When he was being pursued by the Hounds of Tindalos, Chalmers claimed that he must "beware of the Doels", and that the Doels might help the Hounds break through into his room, even after he eliminated the right angles (an act which should ordinarily prevent the Hounds from manifesting). He also claimed that the "satyrs" would help, but it's not clear whether the word "satyrs" was being used to describe the Doels or another race.

Albert Wilmarth has learned about the Doels from the being who presented himself as Henry Akeley and claimed: "The nature of the Doels was plainly revealed, and I was told the essence (though not the source) of the Hounds of Tindalos", hinting once again that the two races are related.
