* ''VideoGame/StarOcean''
** ''VideoGame/StarOcean1'' has Roddick Farrence. It's revealed at the end of the fourth game to have Earthling ancestry around three hundred years back.
** Emmerson Kenny in ''VideoGame/StarOceanIntegrityAndFaithlessness'' is implied to be descended from Claude Kenny and Rena Lanford, the protagonists of ''VideoGame/StarOceanTheSecondStory''. Claude and Rena were an [[InterspeciesRomance Earthling/Nedian couple]], making Emmerson an Earthling with Nedian ancestry, which he passes on to his own descendents such as his granddaughter Marielle in ''VideoGame/StarOceanTheDivineForce''.
* ''VideoGame/StarWarsTheOldRepublic'':
** In ancient times, the Sith species interbred with human slaves. The result is the so-called Sith Pureblood player race, red-skinned RubberForeheadAliens. (''Actual'' pure Sith went extinct long ago.)
** The Sith Inquisitor PC, no matter their species, is revealed at the end of their Dromund Kaas arc to be a descendant of the ancient Sith Lord Aloysius Kallig, whose Force ghost is human-shaped. Twi'leks and Zabraks are among the free-to-play race options for this class.
* ''VideoGame/LeagueOfLegends'' has a human-adjacent race known as the vastaya, who are ostensibly [[BeastMan a chimeric race of humanoid animal people]] naturally [[MageSpecies empowered with magic ability]] (technically, they're descendants from humans once empowered with spirit magic that [[VoluntaryShapeshifting allowed them to shapeshift into various living creatures]], presently possessing a greatly diluted form of said magic influencing their bestial forms). [[TheDon Sett the Boss]] was born from a human father and a vastaya mother, and leans towards being [[LittleBitBeastly a human with wolverine ears and a few patches of fur]], as well as a small amount of vastaya magic (though [[GoodOldFisticuffs he just prefers simply punching his opponents to smithereens]]).
* Samus Aran from ''Franchise/{{Metroid}}'' was born full human (albeit space-faring) before having her DNA spliced with two different species of Chozo as a young child, making her 1/3 human, 2/3 Chozo. After being infected with the X Parasite in ''VideoGame/MetroidFusion'', she is then fused with Metroid DNA, making her at least partially a Metroid, able to absorb X Parasites and life force from others.



* Brent in ''Webcomic/DaughterOfTheLilies'' is one-quarter orc, and looks mostly human save for PointedEars and pronounced canines. Except when he gets angry, [[http://www.daughterofthelilies.com/dotl/38 his eyes turn black.]]
* The Drowolath and Drowussu of ''{{Webcomic/Drowtales}}'' only rarely intermix, with such unions being discouraged because of their differing cultures, but given that certain physical traits known mostly in one race can show up in the other it's likely there are far more uneven hybrids of the two than anyone really wants to acknowledge. As recounted in the story's prologue the Dutan'vir clan was once largely composed of them, but after their clan fell in a TraumaCongaLine they've largely been scattered. Drowussu uneven hybrids among the [[KnightTemplar Kyorl'solenurn]] tend to [[PassFail downplay their ancestry]], while Drowolath don't seem to care as much. Once such character who's the latter, Kery'awa, [[http://www.drowtales.com/wordpress/?p=5013 is described as having a small amount of 'ssu ancestry]] that mostly manifests in her curly hair.
* In ''Webcomic/ElGoonishShive'', it's eventually revealed that all Wizards are part [[spoiler:Immortal]] which comes as a shock to [[spoiler:the Immortals themselves, who had made themselves believe their own offspring (called Elves) were sterile, to prevent them from forming attachments that would prevent them from "resetting" themselves after several centuries]].



* Human mages in ''Webcomic/{{Inverloch}}'' are descendants of half-elves. Since the races haven't mixed for generations, mages have lost their pointy ears, and gained a lot of redheads as their ancestors [[RoyalInbreeding kept the blood in the family]].



* In ''WebComic/ScurryAndCover'', Beasts and humans can mix. The protagonist, Nozomi, is a three-quarters human, one-quarter rat girl. She is very visibly more human-like than her half rat mother, or her full rat grandfather.

* ''WesternAnimation/TheOwlHouse'': It implied during the show (and confirmed in a post-series livestream) that [[spoiler:Caleb Wittebane was an ancestor of the Clawthorne family, which means that Eda, Lilith, and their father Dell are all part human (if only by a very small percent, given that he died around 300 years before either of the sisters were born).]]
