However, not only are they extremely rare (six have been recorded in the entirety of draconic history), but also card carrying demonstrations that WithGreatPowerComesGreatInsanity.

* In GrahamMcNeill's ''TabletopGame/{{Warhammer 40000}}'' ''Literature/{{Ultramarines}}'' novel ''Black Sun Dead Sky'', Honsou is termed a half-breed. In ''Storm of Iron'', it is revealed that this is because he has gene-seed stolen from Imperial sources as well as the Chaos ones; the Warmaster exploits this to develop [[DividedWeFall rivalries]].
* A number of characters in Creator/JRRTolkien's ''Literature/TheSilmarillion'' and ''Literature/TheLordOfTheRings'' are mixtures: Lúthien (half Elf, half [[OurAngelsAreDifferent Maia]]), her son Dior (half Human, 1/4 Elf, 1/4 Maia), Eärendil (half Elf, half Human) and their various HeinzHybrid descendants (Elwing, Elros, Elrond, Aragorn, etc.).

* The Ewu in ''Literature/WhoFearsDeath'', being born from the union of Okeke and Nuru people. Looking surprisingly like neither tribe, the Ewu are sand-colored, skin and hair, with light eyes, like albino Africans.
* Some totally non-human examples from ''Literature/{{Animorphs}}'':
** Jara Hamee and his daughter Toby (named for Tobias) are descended from an Andalite female who married a Hork-Bajir, though, again, she used morphing technology to actually become a Hork-Bajir.
** The Ellimist had children while living among the Andalites in a genetically engineered body millions of years ago, so a great deal, if not the entirety, of modern Andalites should be his descendants. Which means [[spoiler:Tobias]] and the Hamee family are his descendants, too. And indeed, it is implied the modern Andalites inherit their built-in TranslatorMicrobes (i.e. "thought-speak") from his artificial body. The primitive Andalites he lived amongst had only sign language.
* Terry Brooks' ''MagicKingdomOfLandover'' series has Willow, born of two different kinds of faerie, whose status complicates both her relationship to Ben Holiday, and later their child's gestation and birth -- as the child of a wood nymph, she has to spend part of the time as a tree.
* There are a few examples of hybrids in Terry Brooks' ''{{Shannara}}'' books (the Urda, for example, are Troll/Gnome hybrids). Justified, in one sense, by the fact that dwarves, gnomes, and trolls are simply different subspecies of human mutated by the apocalypse. Less explicable is how humans can interbreed with elves, who are just fae ''evolved'' into humanoids...

* Creator/HPLovecraft has the Whateley Twins, Wilbur and [[EldritchAbomination OH MY FUCKING GOD WHAT THE HELL IS THAT?!]]
* The Ysabel Kid, from ''The Floating Outfit'' novels of JTEdson, is half Kentucky Irish, a quarter Commanche, and a quarter French-Canadian.
* The Ewu in ''Literature/WhoFearsDeath'', being born from the union of Okeke and Nuru people. Looking surprisingly like neither tribe, the Ewu are sand-colored, skin and hair, with light eyes, like albino Africans.
* Some totally non-human examples from ''Literature/{{Animorphs}}'':
** Jara Hamee and his daughter Toby (named for Tobias) are descended from an Andalite female who married a Hork-Bajir, though, again, she used morphing technology to actually become a Hork-Bajir.
** The Ellimist had children while living among the Andalites in a genetically engineered body millions of years ago, so a great deal, if not the entirety, of modern Andalites should be his descendants. Which means [[spoiler:Tobias]] and the Hamee family are his descendants, too. And indeed, it is implied the modern Andalites inherit their built-in TranslatorMicrobes (i.e. "thought-speak") from his artificial body. The primitive Andalites he lived amongst had only sign language.
* Terry Brooks' ''MagicKingdomOfLandover'' series has Willow, born of two different kinds of faerie, whose status complicates both her relationship to Ben Holiday, and later their child's gestation and birth -- as the child of a wood nymph, she has to spend part of the time as a tree.
* There are a few examples of hybrids in Terry Brooks' ''{{Shannara}}'' books (the Urda, for example, are Troll/Gnome hybrids). Justified, in one sense, by the fact that dwarves, gnomes, and trolls are simply different subspecies of human mutated by the apocalypse. Less explicable is how humans can interbreed with elves, who are just fae ''evolved'' into humanoids...

* In ''Series/{{Charmed}}'' Paige is a half-witch, half-whitelighter. She gains whitelighter powers such as orbing and healing without having to actually die though she has to learn how to use them while whitelighters know them automatically. Wyatt and Chris are also the same though stronger because their mother is a Charmed One.

* This trope is played up in the video game ''Red Dead Revolver'' with Red, the main character, being the offspring of a white settler and a Native American.
* Connor, the main character in ''VideoGame/AssassinsCreedIII'', has a similar background.
* The ''FinalFantasy'' series falls into this:
** In ''FinalFantasyV'' Bartz is fully human, but his parents hail from different halves of the world that [[spoiler:existed as separate planets]] for centuries.
** In ''Videogame/FinalFantasyX'', Yuna is the daughter of a normal human and an Al-Bhed, a human ethnicity distinguished by their green eyes and spiral irises. The mixture manifested itself as Yuna's MismatchedEyes.
* In ''TheElderScrolls'', a book called "Notes on Racial Phylogeny" states that children of interracial unions typically resemble the mother more, with some traits from the father still persisting. In Oblivion, the Gray Prince, a champion gladiator is part human, part orc[[hottip:*:the (human) father was also a vampire, but just what that had for consequences for the Gray Prince is uncertain, as he is both the only known case of human/orc interbreeding and vampire/living interbreeding]]. The entire race of Bretons descend from hybrids between nedes (ancestral race of men) and Aldmer (ancestral race of elves), when the Elves took concubines. The Bretons are considered a race of men, but their elven ancestry manifests as having the highest racial aptitude for magic of all men races. A few aristocratic Breton lineages still retain a slight point to their ears.

* Banquo of ''GoodbyeChains''. His character profile proudly describes him as "half-Mexican and half-Swedish, and also a colossal dick." He was the result of a one-night stand between an actress and a mestizo Mexican man, and faces quite a bit of racism because of his background. His DistaffCounterpart and part time lover, Cordelia, is half-Ute, but there are certainly no parallels between them and how they treat their companions, [[SuspiciouslySpecificDenial no siree]].
