* In ''WesternAnimation/BluesClues'', Mr. Salt and Mrs. Pepper are, respectively, talking salt and pepper shakers. Their children are Paprika, a spice container, and Cinnamon, a cinnamon shaker.

* The Netflix reboot of ''Anime/AggressiveRetsuko'' provides a strange {{Implied}} example. Every onscreen couple that has children is same-species, with children to match. However, [[spoiler: when Retsuko and Tadano discuss the prospect of having children, it's never brought up that he's a donkey and she's a red panda.]] It's weird considering the TBS version's propensity for [[FurryReminder biology gags]].

* In ''Website/{{Neopets}}'', some families in site events will all be the same species of pet, but others will have each individual as a different species. "Skeith[[note]]A morbidly-obese Western-type dragon species[[/note]] plus Zafara[[note]]A kangaroo/puppy creature[[/note]] = Ixi[[note]]A ''goat/fawn'' species[[/note]]" is a common joke among the fandom due to the revelation of the heritage of [[EnsembleDarkhorse Sophie the Swamp Witch]] during the "Tale of Woe" arc. Whether the different-species children are implied to be HappilyAdopted or produced organically [[DependingOnTheWriter Depends On The Writer]]. It's also possible that some family members may start out as one species [[AWizardDidIt but then change to another using potions]].

* In ''WesternAnimation/YinYangYo'', a dragon named Edna manages to have two insects for sons; a cockroach named Carl and an ant named Herman.

* In ''VideoGame/TheSims'', when two occult Sims have a baby, their child will usually be one of the parent's occult types (for example, if a werewolf and a vampire have a baby, it will be either a werewolf or a vampire). In ''VideoGame/TheSims4'', however, it's possible for a couple to have a vampire child when neither are vampires if they give birth on a lot with the "On A Dark Ley Line" lot trait.

'''Tigress:''' ''[[[DeadpanSnarker no change of tone or expression whatsoever]]]'' ...That must have been quite a shock.

** [[PettingZooPeople Vector]] species were designed to interbreed but to prevent homogenization they have "Mutt Reduction Protocols" built into their genes that usually cause the progeny of an interspecies couple to be one parents' species or the other, with a roughly equal chance of either. Though sometimes a grandparent's species pops up instead. And in very rare cases the Mutt Reduction fails and you get a sterile Hybrid.

** [[PettingZooPeople Minks]] follow a similar reproduction rule, albeit with furry mammals instead.

* In supplementary materials of ''WebAnimation/{{RWBY}}'', it's revealed that if two [[LittleBitBeastly Faunus]] of different kinds mate, their offspring would be this. By comparison, Faunus-Faunus couples of the same species Will alway produce a Faunus whose traits are inherited from the Faunus parent. And a Faunus-Human couples will produce a Human or a Faunus whose traits are inherited from the Faunus parent.

By comparison, Faunus-Faunus couples of the same species or Faunus-Human couples will produce a Human or a Faunus whose traits are inherited from the Faunus parent.

By comparison, Faunus-Faunus couples of the same species or Faunus-Human couples will always produce a Faunus whose traits are inherited from the Faunus parent.

* This is the basic premise of ''WesternAnimation/CowAndChicken''. To quote the ExpositoryThemeTune: "Mama had a chicken, mama had a cow. Dad was proud, he didn't care how."

* ''WesternAnimation/OKKOLetsBeHeroes'': Enid's mother and father are a vampire and werewolf respectively. Her twin brothers are a FrankensteinsMonster and PumpkinPerson. Enid is a witch, through she gave up practicing magic to become a ninja.

* ''Franchise/{{Pokemon}}''. Somewhat downplayed: For the most part, as long as both the male and female pokemon are compatible with each other, the female will always give birth to the pre-evolved form of the female. If you pair off the final evolved form of a female pokemon with a male of a different species, the result will be the pre-evolved form of the female species, which by the game's standards, is ''technically'' a third species. The only time where this trope is fully in play is for Pokemon with BizarreSexualDimorphism -- enough for the male and female to be counted as two different species. In that case, the resulting offspring will be randomly either the male or female species.

* Bon Bonne in ''VideoGame/MegamanLegends''. While his apparently human sister and brother refers to him as their baby brother, he doesn't seem to have a single organic part. Granted, he could be a robot their parents built (thus making him their "brother"), but they seem to live in a world where no one ever makes any distinction between robots and humans whatsoever.
