* ''Film/Meg2TheTrench'': The ''Film/{{Monsterverse}}'' incarnation Snappers are predatory, semi-aquatic creatures which resemble an amalgamation of fish, amphibian, and reptile traits, with a vaguely monitor lizard-like body shape, shark-like jaws and gills, fish-like scales, a flattened crocodile-like tail, and salamander-like heads and body markings, and being equally at home underwater as on land.

* ''TabletopGame/WerewolfTheApocalypse'': While other changing breeds have specific animal types under their respective purviews, the Mokole mix-and-match every reptile under the sun -- crocodiles, lizards, turtles, even dinosaurs -- except for snakes[[note]]and the ''surviving'' dinosaurs, the birds[[/note]]. ''Shattered Dreams'' clarifies that they were originally considered three entirely separate races: Were-Pterosaurs, Were-Plesiosaurs, and Were-Dinosaurs (which consisted almost entirely of tyrannosaurids and ceratopsians and might actually been two separate species themselves). Generations of interbreeding followed by a mass extinction bottleneck and millions of years of inbreeding resulted in the weird modern hodgepodge of all modern reptiles except snakes. Their war form, the Archid, is dreamt up on an individual basis by polling memories of extant and extinct reptiles out of Mnesis to form a chimeric mix that tends to be an amalgamation of various dinosaurs in the west or something resembling a dragon amongst the Zhong Lung in Asia.

Note that there ''are'' some animals out there that are classified as fish, but have amphibian and reptilian features (see the Real Life section). This is partly because the classic fish-amphibian-reptile classification is quite outdated, all three taxa are paraphyletic (i.e. do not contain all descendants of the same common ancestor), thus some animals, traditionally classified as "fish", are closer to amphibians and reptiles on the evolutionary tree. Similar features in different vertebrate taxa can also appear due to [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Convergent_evolution convergent evolution.]] In fiction, this often plays out as if someone took an existing animal and stuck traits belonging to another class onto it.

[[LordOfTheOcean Dagon]] is usually portrayed as a mix of eel, shark, and mollusc, and ''Pathfinder'' features Bokrug the Great Water Lizard with a beard of tentacles. There's also the troglodyte god Zevgavizeb, who looks like a mix of a [[DraconicAbomination dragon and a tentacled worm]].
