-'''Dholes''' are a race of incredibly huge worm creatures. Little is known about these creatures, not even their planet of origin. It is likely they are related to the [[Bholes]] that dwell in the Dreamlands, in the [[Vale of Pnath]]. Their most documented appearance is in the [[H.P. Lovecraft]] story "[[Through the Gates of the Silver Key]]". In that story, the Dholes are shown living on the world of [[Yaddith]] and slowly eating the planet away through tunelling.

 They are highly carnivorous, and despite the magical and technological skill of the native Yaddithians, they were forced to abandon the planet to the Dholes after hundreds of years of fighting them. It is implied that the Dholes follow the Yaddithians wherever they go, though that seems unlikely. No Dholes are known to exist on Earth, as they would surely cause the slow death of the planet.

-* In ''[[The White People]]'' by [[Arthur Machen]], whom Lovecraft admired, there is mention of "Dôls", but no description is given. In ''[[The Illuminatus! Trilogy]]'', both the Dôls of Machen and Dholes of Lovecraft are mentioned as being references to mythical creatures associated with the [[Illuminati]]. In "The Hounds of Tindalos" by [[Frank Belknap Long]], the [[Hounds of Tindalos]] are said to be allied to Doels, who aid them in gaining access to their victims; whether or not these are the same as Dholes is uncertain.
