* On ''Series/{{Grimm}}'' Renard is the illegitimate child of a Hexenbiest and a Royal. This gives him a fair amount of clout in both Wesen and Royal circles but it also means that neither group really accepts him as one of their own. It is not clear if the Royals are human or a special type of Wesen. Marriages between different Wesen races were taboo until very recently and used to be punishable by death. Children of mixed Wesen ancestry will generally assume the Wesen characteristics of one parent or the other thus avoiding HybridPower. A third possibility is mentioned but it is not elaborated on.

** ''[[https://www.fimfiction.net/story/325714/it-doesnt-work-that-way It Doesn't Work That Way]]'': Due to the way that dragon reproduction works -- freshly-laid dragon eggs are essentially just rocks, and are fertilized when another dragon infuses them with magic by breathing fire over them -- the fact that Spike's egg was hatched by Twilight's magic surge means that he's technically half-dragon and half-pony.

This mixed blood allows she and other changeling hybrids like her to gain Cutie Marks, and also renders them immune to the effects of the changeling detector lights.

* Creator/AAPessimal:
** Rebecka Smith-Rhodes-Stibbons and her two sisters are the daughters of Ankh-Morporkian wizard Ponder Stibbons and Assassin Johanna Smith-Rhodes, a [[AmoralAfrikaner Rimwards Howondalandian]]. Bekki reflects that she was brought up bilingual, with an "indoor language" (Vondalaans, Discworld's Afrikaans) and an "outdoor language" (Morporkian). After she qualifies as a witch, she moves to [[UsefulNotes/SouthAfrica Howondaland]] to found a Witch steading and get to grips, properly, with her Other Country and its multiple etnicities.
** The globe-trotting Witch Olga Romanoff marries a Rimwards Howondalandian and reflects because of her near-unique circumstances, her children will get it three ways with three languages and cultures: [[UsefulNotes/{{Russia}} Rodinian]], Morporkian and Rimwards Howondalandian. She is pleasantly pleased as to how adaptable her twin children are.
* ''WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender'': In {{Fanon}}, it's often assumed that [[GenkiGirl Ty Lee]] has Air Nomad ancestry, since her appearance (round face, brown hair and gray eyes) and personality match them better than the Fire Nation. In some stories she's secretly an Airbender, but obviously hides it. This may also be the case for the new Airbenders in ''WesternAnimation/TheLegendOfKorra,'' rather than just being RandomlyGifted.
* ''Fanfic/EyesOnMe'': Sapphire Dahl is black on her father's side and Asian (specifically Japanese/Vietnamese) on her mother's side.



* ''Fanfic/OldWest'': The snake child Theodore "Teddy" Glossy's mother is a glossy snake, and his father is a gopher snake.
* ''Fanfic/RanmaSaotomeChiMaster'': Ranma's guru is part Indian and part Chinese.
* ''Fanfic/TheVow'': The epilogue introduces a peafowl-swan hybrid Zian, son of [[spoiler:Lord Shen]] and [[spoiler:Lady Lianne]]. He looks like a peacock except for his white feathers, flat beak and slightly larger wings.
* ''Fanfic/PokemonResetBloodlines'': Because the list of potential (but very heavily suggested) half siblings come from multiple regions with an implied [[VideoGame/PokemonColosseum Orrean father]], the story has a growing number of characters of this sort. A number of characters in story are suggested as being of mixed ancestry even outside this case, such as [[VideoGame/PokemonBlackAndWhite Skyla]] whose father is Unovan and mother is from Johto.
* ''Fanfic/TheWarOfTheMasters'': The Moabites are a melange of various groups with a bone to pick with post-WorldWarIII Earth, among them Jews of Israeli origin (Israel was destroyed by the Arab League in WWIII) and Vietnamese anti-communists (dislike Earth's post-scarcity welfare state). Plus there's been considerable interbreeding with local Klingons (most of them dispossessed, or descended from same, in various feudal power struggles in the Empire).
* ''Fanfic/OriginStory'': Louise Fulford, Alexandra Harris's partner, is a very light-colored African-American whose father is himself a relatively light-skinned black man and whose mother is a Native American. And by "light colored," she is light-colored to the point that anyone who sees her assumes she's just another white girl. When questioned about it, the writer pointed people to Creator/NicoleRichie, who was the character's bodycast.

They usually have trouble fitting in with either pony society or dragons. Hybrids also tend to pop up for other interspecies ships, most often pony/changeling hybrids (who may have a weaker form of the changelings' shapeshifting) and griffon/pony hippogriff children.

** ''Fanfic/BrideOfDiscord'': The sequels have three, including Discord and Fluttershy's draconequus/pony hybrid daughter Screwball, her younger brother Zany, and [[spoiler:Applespike]], a dragon/pony hybrid.
** ''Fanfic/EquestriaAcrossTheMultiverse'': [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyTales Brightglow and her sisters]] are the hybrid daughters of the pegasus queen Star Catcher and the extraterrestrial celestial pony Star Skipper. The strangeness of two species that evolved on separate planets being able to crossbreed is lampshaded, and becomes a cause for close study.
** ''Fanfic/FluttershyIsFree'': [[spoiler:Fluttershy]] turns out to have been sired by a [[spoiler:changeling]].

It's also implied that some of her [[spoiler:ShrinkingViolet tendencies]] come from [[spoiler:the natural Changeling preference to hide from rather than confront danger]].
** ''Fanfic/TheFreeportVenture'': Ponies and griffins can interbreed to make hippogriffs. Zyphons are specifically zebra-griffin hybrids.
** Creator/Kilala97's next generation continuity counts a number of half-pony hybrids:
*** Crystal Clarity and Turquoise Blits, Spike and Rairty's son and daughter, are half unicorn and half dragon.
*** Illusion, Discord and Celestia's son, is half alicorn and half draconequus -- which, due to draconequi being {{Mix and Match Critter}}s to begin with, largely makes him look like a more "ordered" draconequus.
*** In the alternate next gen setting, there are Morning Star (another Discord and Celestia child, and thus again half alicorn and half draconequus), Cicada Song (half alicorn and half [[InsectQueen royal changeling]]) and Hunter (half pegasus and half griffon).
** ''Fanfic/ALongNightAtTheHippodrome'': Piercing gaze is half-unicorn and half-onager, although he looks mostly unicorn.
** ''Fanfic/MyFlutteringHeart'': Flurry Heart is half-pony and half-changeling. She looks like a full pony, which makes passing her as one easy.
** ''Fanfic/PonyPOVSeries'':
*** Fluttercruel is the draconequus Discord's {{Child By|Rape}} MindRape with the pegasus Fluttershy. Fluttercruel is SharingABody with Fluttershy, so their ''body'' is pure pony, but [[HellishPupils some of]] [[CuteLittleFangs Fluttercruel's traits]] imply that, at least spiritually, she's half draconequus. The [[BadFuture Dark World]] stories further imply this by showing she [[spoiler:can inherit Discord's ability to BodySurf if killed by a non-draconequus and ultimately [[OneWingedAngel becomes a draconequus]]]].
*** [[GeneralRipper General-Admiral Makarov]], the BigBad of the Shining Armor Arc, is a deer/unicorn hybrid who was created by a SuperSoldier project intended to create such hybrids. It's also partly because he's a ParodySue. This is later subverted when he's revealed to actually be [[spoiler:an [[HumanoidAbomination Equinoid Abomination]] called the Shadow of Chernobull, who merely took that form to [[BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor grant the Hooviets desires for the project to succeed]]]]. The characters also meet Kweupe, a virgasus (a pegasus/zebra hybrid) as a guide in a Zebrafrican nation.
*** Tempest Shadow's Origins chapter reveals the existence of the Sparkle Ponies, hybrids of Equestrian ponies and a race of aliens called the Celestial Ponies, normally from [[CameFromTheSky them crash-landing on Equus]]. Notably, the improbability of an alien species being capable of interbreeding with the natives is lampshaded by Wind Whistler, but may be because ponies and Celestials have the same creator deity.
* ''Fanfic/AThinVeneer'': This becomes a major plot point -- between close racial interactions, progressive social views and advanced Federation technology, the Federation has many hybrids within their diverse populations and they are accepted and celebrated without prejudice or intolerance. To the much more insular, xenophobic and reactionary ''Babylon 5''-verse nations and cultures, however, this practice and tolerance is viewed with horror and disgust, contributing to the Minbari and even some Earthers perceiving the Federation as a "mongrel power" of depraved savages wielding technologies too advanced for their station whom they cannot surrender to or negotiate with. Some of the Minbari are so disgusted that one Alyt even outright declares that the Federation humans are ''worse'' than the Earther humans when he hears this from Kirk, and many keep fighting out of the misguided belief that defeat and surrender would result in the Federation spreading or even enforcing such practices upon them, diluting and degrading their gene pool and racial purity.
* ''Fanfic/OldWest'': The snake child Theodore "Teddy" Glossy's mother is a glossy snake, and his father is a gopher snake.

It is worth noting that out of all the races of Mer, the Bosmer are the ones who look closest to humans and have the most human-like skin tones. In the exact opposite of the Bretons, the Bosmer are still almost entirely Mer.
