"She's Klingon...no, the cranial ridges are less pronounced. Klingon-human hybrid."
Half Human Hybrids in Live-Action TV.— Dr. Crell Moset regarding B'Elanna Torres, Star Trek: Voyager, "Nothing Human"
- Xavitan of Akumaizer 3 is half-human half-very different demon. His demon genetics seem to be more prevalent, however, as you wouldn't know he's half-human just by looking at him.
- The Aliens: Lewis finds out that his birth father was an alien.
- Arrowverse:
- Supergirl (2015) has Nia Nal, a.k.a. Dreamer, whose father is human and mother is Naltorian. She inherits her mother's ability of Dreaming of Things to Come. Despite the bad guys trying to label her as an "illegal alien", she is by law a natural-born citizen of the United States.
- In Crisis on Infinite Earths (2019), we learn of Jonathan Kent, the son of Clark Kent and Lois Lane. There's also a reference to Jason Kent, the son of the Clark Kent and Lois Lane of Earth-96, and we learn of the daughters of the Clark Kent and Lois Lane of Earth-167. While the latter Clark had given up his powers to have a family, the girls probably still have his Kryptonian genes.
- Superman & Lois: Following the Crisis, Jonathan is now a teenager and has a twin brother, Jordan. Both were scanned by Jor-El as babies and determined to be unable to absorb sunlight the way Kryptonians can, until Jordan manifests super-strength and heat vision at age 14. Jordan seems to be the only one who starts developing Kryptonian powers, and while Jor-El initially estimates he will never have the full range of abilities, Jordan has attained them all by Season 2. Jonathan, meanwhile, appears to be fully human in terms of physiology (including a resistance to Kryptonite). Later on, we see the Inverse World (a.k.a. Bizarro Earth), where Jonathan is the one with powers while Jordan is fully human.
- Averted for the most part in Babylon 5, as human/alien pairings and pairings of different aliens are rare and can't produce children.
- Two very special cases, Delenn and Jeffrey Sinclair, serve as the only demonstrated exceptions to the rule, both of which were courtesy of extremely sophisticated biotechnology effectively indistinguishable from magic (see Clarke's Third Law) and far beyond the biotech capabilities demonstrated elsewhere in the series. In addition, Delenn is actually revealed to be descended from Sinclair.
- Further, Delenn and John Sheridan later have a son, David.
- G'Kar specifically mentions that a direct mating with a human telepath, Lyta Alexander, could be used to reintroduce the telepath gene into the Narn species with the aid of genetic engineering.
- Two very special cases, Delenn and Jeffrey Sinclair, serve as the only demonstrated exceptions to the rule, both of which were courtesy of extremely sophisticated biotechnology effectively indistinguishable from magic (see Clarke's Third Law) and far beyond the biotech capabilities demonstrated elsewhere in the series. In addition, Delenn is actually revealed to be descended from Sinclair.
- Battlestar Galactica (2003):
- The existence of Cylon/human hybrid children is a central plot point: there has been only one recorded case of a Cylon-human hybrid, Hera Agathon. The other turned out to be a subversion, as although we were led to believe Nicholas Tyrol was one of these, turns out the mother had been with another man around the same time she got together with her eventual (Cylon) husband.
- The finale reveals that Hera is the Mitochondrial Eve, and thus a common ancestor of all modern humans. In addition, Baltar and Cottle discussed interbreeding with the natives of the second (our) Earth. This means that modern humans are actually a mix of Cylons and two types of human, while what the Colonials would call pure humanity is extinct.
- In Bewitched, Samantha, a member of a Mage Species with innate magical powers and extremely long lifespans, produces two children, Tabitha and Adam, with her human husband Darrin. Tabitha clearly takes after her mother, manifesting strong magical abilities as a toddler. Adam initially appeared to be mortal, but towards the end of the series he did begin to manifest some magic as well.
- Buffyverse:
- Doyle from Angel is half-demon. In fact, most of the demons seen in the Buffy/Angel universe actually have some degree of human blood. "True" demons — such as the one that the Mayor turns into — are monstrous, primal creatures far removed from humanity.
- The Scourge are Nazi-esque "pure demons" who claim not to be hybrids but aren't any more powerful or less humanoid than other demons. They're probably just willingly ignorant.
- Connor is an interesting case. Both of his parents are vampires (who normally can't have kids, but there was magic involved), but he seems human at first, though it's later revealed that he's part demon.
- Cordelia starts out perfectly human but then gets "part demon" sort of magically grafted into her DNA, assuming that demons have DNA.
- Word of God says that the children of "activated" Slayers (who are rare given that the powers usually come with a strong chance of a violent death at a young age) pass on some of the attributes to their children as in the case of Robin Wood (although he was depicted on screen as just a Badass Normal).
- A female demon of Lister clan apparently was actually a half-demon. Because she could change between her human and her demonic shape.
- Billy Blim was also a half-demon. He was one of the few half-demons that had a human father and a demonic mother.
- Then there's the Groosalugg. He is actually a demon, but because he had human ancestors, he looks almost like a human being.
- In a false vision of the future of Xander and Anya, we also see her daughter Sara, who is also a half-demon. However, it is implied that Xander is not her father, but a demon with which Anya had an affair.
- Another half-demon named Darrow Steele appears later in the comics.
- Nash and Pearl are two very malicious and very strong half-demons that have killed several Slayers.
- Angel and Faith fight later against a crime lord named Mal Fraser, who turns out to be a half-demon.
- Carnival Row: It's revealed that Philo is half Faerie, with his wings being removed as a child.
- Charmed (1998):
- Cole is half human and half demon. He has demonic powers but also the power to actually feel.
- Paige is half whitelighter and half human. She has a hard time using her powers at first and it takes her years to learn how to heal all by herself.
- Then there's Piper (witch) and Leo's (whitelighter) kids. It is strongly implied that Whitelighters are all "ascended" former humans who either lived a life of service and self-sacrifice or died saving someone, so it doesn't seem exceptionally unreasonable that a magically enhanced ex-human might be able to sire children with a magical "regular" human. Still doesn't explain Cole though.
- The season nine comics and the "Where Are They Now?" Epilogue introduce another type of hybrid: Cupid-Witches, the mix between witch (Phoebe) and cupid (Coop).
- Sabrina Spellman from Chilling Adventures of Sabrina has a warlock father and a human mother (witches are a separate species there). However, as the series progresses, it is revealed that her real father is Lucifer. So Sabrina is more likely to be half-demon or half-devil (or half-angel; after all, Lucifer is a fallen angel) rather than half-witch. Either way, she's half-human.
- Danger 5: In "Lizard Soldiers of the Third Reich", Dr. Mengele produces half-human, half-dinosaur Nazi soldiers. Later it turns out that Mengele himself is a lizardman.
- Defiance:
- Implied in the pilot. When Nolan claims to be Irisa's father, it's quickly pointed out that she's a pure-blooded Irathient, which suggests it isn't unheard of.
- In "The Bride Wore Black", it's outright stated that Alak and Christie expect to produce a child eventually. The two conceive a child by "The Cord and the Ax", set nine months later, though Christie can't be more than a few weeks along at that point.
- The Inside Defiance extra for "The Bride Wore Black" on the Syfy website says that pregnancies in such cases carry a great deal of risk for both mother and child. It lampshades the fact that this should only be possible with some kind of common ancestry and says the issue hasn't been properly studied due to a general lack of medical research in 2046. Common ancestry is not surprising, given how much they all resemble each other.
- Doctor Who:
- King Peladon, ruler of the planet Peladon, in "The Curse of Peladon" was half-Pel and half-human. His mother was a human princess. He later had a daughter, Queen Thalira. It's unknown who her mother was.
- In the TV movie, the Eighth Doctor infamously claimed to be half-human on his mother's side. The revived series acknowledges Eight in a Broad Strokes way but avoids dealing with that line at all besides the odd in-joke, and there's at least one expanded universe comic in which Eight claims that it was all a ruse. Then series 9 came along (see below).
- In "The Doctor Dances", although no Half-Human Hybrids appear, it's mentioned that by the 51st century, humanity has spread out among the stars, and has apparently had interbred and mixed into with every intelligent species possible. In fact, in about 5 billion years, pure humans are extinct, leaving only hybrids, engineered variants, and so on.
- Likewise, "Gridlock" included a cat man having children with a human woman. They looked exactly like normal kittens, albeit less well-developed than normal kittens of the same age, which would be hitting puberty already.
- "Daleks in Manhattan"/"Evolution of the Daleks" is probably the most extreme example. Not only does Dalek Sec fuse himself with Mr. Diagoras to become a Human/Dalek hybrid, the "new Daleks" in the same episode, while looking human, are in fact humans whose DNA was replaced with a mixture of Dalek and Time Lord DNA. The latter was "accidentally" added into the mixture due to the Doctor's intervention and a very convenient gamma strike.
- "The Unicorn and the Wasp" involves the secret love child of an affair between a human and a shapeshifting alien wasp.
- "Journey's End" has not one, but two half-human, half-Time Lords showing up. One had only one life and heart and the other could only be an extremely temporary thing. This is because it's stated that it was just impossible to properly work the way it artificially did.
- In "A Good Man Goes to War", it's revealed that Amy and Rory's daughter Melody is part-Time Lord due to being conceived on the TARDIS, in the Time Vortex, and then further experimented on by the Silence. Which means she can regenerate, and she's actually River Song.
- Series 9's Story Arc involves (among other things) a prophecy about "The Hybrid", a half-Time Lord, half-Dalek Person of Mass Destruction, and several kinds of hybrids appear across the season to play up the theme — most importantly Ashildr/Me, a young human whom the Doctor turns into a functional immortal when he saves her from death's door by implanting Mire technology into her body. The finale, "Hell Bent" teases that the Hybrid could be this trope instead, and specifically Ashildr/Me...or the Doctor himself, marking the first time since the 1996 TV movie that this possibility is seriously broached. In the end, its identity is not confirmed. (On the show, at least. Moffat confirmed in an issue of Doctor Who Magazine that the Hybrid was actually the Doctor and Clara together.)
- Earth: Final Conflict:
- An odd example in Liam Kincaid (more properly Liam Sandoval-Beckett, but no one calls him that, ever). He has three parents, two human and one Kimera, and ends up with a kind of triple-stranded DNA helix and a few special abilities. The entire manner of it is convoluted, but the Kimera race were extremely advanced and had a demonstratable skill in genetic manipulation.
- In one episode, Sandoval is revealed to be dying and requiring a transplant from a close relative. Unfortunately, his parents are dead (supposedly, killed by Zo'or when he leveled Sandoval's home island), and he has no children (none that he knows of, at least). Liam secretly donates the required materials for his genetic father, which brings to question why the doctor who tested the sample never commented on the triple-helix DNA, and why a proper doctor would even inject that into a human.
- The Fallen is all about the Nephilim, the offspring of fallen angels and human females. The main character is a special kind of Nephilim known as the Redeemer, who can send repentant fallen angels back to Heaven. All Nephilim are orphans, as their fathers either don't know about them or don't care, while their mothers die at childbirth. While there are female angels, it appears they cannot get pregnant from a human male. Nephilim have some of the powers of angels, including wings, ability to speak and understand any language (including animals), and pyrokinesis (such as throwing fireballs and creating flaming swords). Like the fallen angels, the Nephilim are being hunted by the Powers, a group of non-fallen angels, who see them as abominations. A small group of humans also knows of their existence and wishes to use the Redeemer to get to Heaven.
- Alexis, Tom Mason's daughter in Falling Skies is half Espheni (Alien Invaders), due to genetic manipulation from them, though.
- In Farscape. Scorpius is a hybrid of two alien races, Scarrans and Sebaceans, but suffers from many physical difficulties as a result, the most notable being maintaining an unusually high body temperature while being unable to tolerate heat. Also unusual in that Scorpius's conception and birth both took place under lab conditions, and prior to him, there had been over ninety failed attempts at creating such hybrids—all of which had resulted in the death of both the mother and the hybrid offspring.
- But also played perfectly straight as well, with D'Argo's son Jothee, and John and Aeryn's baby.
- It should be pointed out that the spoiler above is explained by (one of) the big reveals in the Peacekeeper Wars—Jothee is still a mystery though. Sebaceans are actually genetically engineered offspring Humans taken from Earth 10,000 years ago.
- It is revealed in the ongoing comic series (the D'Argo's Trial storyline) that Jothee's conception required assistance from an expert doctor.
- It is rather ironic that Sebaceans, with their emphasis on genetic purity, were the only race that was shown to have hybrids with more than one species.
- Well, why would a race care about genetic purity if they couldn't hybridize easily with other races?
- Another straight example: John was the only one who could have a child with a Sebacean princess whose genes were poisoned.
- And for the record, in the same episode it was revealed that Luxans (D'Argo) and Nebari (Chiana) are not compatible.
- Sebaceans and Hynerians are also shown to be incompatible.
- Aeryn also technically qualifies, due to a Mad Scientist's experiment she ended up gaining some Pilot DNA.
- Talyn is stated to be a Peacekeeper-Leviathan hybrid. That in itself doesn't mean much, since the Peacekeepers are an organization, not a species. Their ranks are almost exclusively made up of Sebaceans, which are physically extremely similar to humans. Leviathans, on the other hand, are a species of living biomechanical starships, several hundred meters long when fully grown. Try to wrap that around your brain.
- One could infer they were merely using the term "Peacekeeper" synonymously with Sebacean. The goal of Talyn was to create a Leviathan bred for war and controlled by a Peacekeeper via a neural link, instead of the normal Leviathan which carry no weaponry and are forced to rely on control collars and compliant Pilots to function. The implication therefore, is that Talyn possesses some trace amount of Sebacean DNA to provide the necessary compatibility.
- But also played perfectly straight as well, with D'Argo's son Jothee, and John and Aeryn's baby.
- Grimm:
- The Royal family includes a member who is the bastard son of the King and his Hexenbiest mistress. It's never made clear if the Royals are Wesen or something else entirely, since they appear human, don't woge, and can't be detected by a Grimm. They may even be normal humans who have managed to gain power over the Wesen. This individual is Captain Renard; when he woges, only half of his face transforms into a Zauberbiest.
- Diana is 3/4 Hexenbiest. She is the daughter of Renard and Adelind. However, after being infected with Grimm blood to remove her powers, Adelind undergoes a dangerous ritual to regain her powers while pregnant, resulting in the infant's abilities being extraordinary and unique.
- It's usually more complicated with Wesen-human pairings. A child of a human and a Wesen will either be a Wesen or a Kehrseite-Genträger (a human who carries Wesen genes). A child of a Wesen and a Kehrseite-Genträger will always result in a Wesen.
- There is a man introduced towards the end of the show who has a Hexenbiest mother. Kelly is Nick and Adelind's son, so is half-Zauberbiest, half-Grimm. It's not made clear if he has Zauberbiest abilities or Grimm abilities or both.
- Humans:
- Matti and Leo's baby is revealed as half-synth, half-human.
- Leo himself is Artificial Hybrid of synth and human — he was born fully human, but given synth components by his father in the wake of a fatal accident. The synth blood eventually mixed with his human blood, altering his DNA to make him more of an organic hybrid, which he passed on to his daughter.
- Wataru Kurenai from Kamen Rider Kiva is later revealed to be the result of his human father winning over his Fangire mother, Maya, a.k.a. The Queen Pearlshell Fangire. Although Wataru's heritage was hinted at early on whenever he transforms into the titular Rider by Kivat.
- The alternate world Wataru from Kamen Rider Decade is the opposite hybrid: the result of consummation between the Beetle Fangire and a human woman.
- Kamen Rider Build: Ryuga Banjo is half-human, half-Blood Tribe due to Evolt's failed attempt to possess Ryuga's then-pregnant mother, which mostly manifest as being much tougher and stronger than he should be by any means.
- Kikai Sentai Zenkaiger: Stacey is the son of thekikainoid general Barashitara and (likely unwilling) human women. Pointing that out be the culprit of his issues, attitude, and everything else might still be an understatement.
- GoGo Sentai Boukenger provides the opposite example as Eiji Takaoka is a child of a human monk and an Ashu woman, who had a Forbidden Romance that eventually killed them both. They loved him dearly, but he resents them for their relationship and his own existence.
- The Chicken Lady in The Kids in the Hall.
- Legacies: Landon Kirby is revealed to be the offspring of a human mother and a golem, via the human mother falling into the pit that the golem had become. This results in Landon being a phoenix and the perfect vessel for Malivore to possess to regain human form.
- The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power: Elrond Half-elven has mixed Elven and human blood like his brother Elros, but Elrond chose to follow his Elven nature, unlike his brother. This is sometimes leveled against him as a Stealth Insult, but by standing slightly outside of full elvishness, he's also capable of (and willing to) see their faults.
- Lucifer (2016):
- Linda and Amenadiel's son Charlie is Human on his mother's side and Angel on his father's. Despite Linda's fears that he'll be born with angel wings, he ends up looking like a perfectly normal human baby. His father claims that he'll be able to visit The Silver City and leave whenever he wants but will need to be taken there by someone else first. Being half-Angel also means he's a viable candidate to replace Lucifer as King of Hell, as only those of Celestial heritage can sit on the throne.
- Rory is Lucifer and Chloe's daughter. Like her cousin Charlie, she's also half-Human and half-Angel.
- The Magicians: Renard's children with (unwilling) human women are demi-gods, and apparently quite powerful because of it.
- The titular character in the Merlin (1998) series is a half-human hybrid born from a human mother and fairy magic. This becomes an important plot point in the novelizations.
- The titular protagonist of Merlin (2008), who is the son of a human mother and a Dragonlord father, thus making him technically a creature of the Old Religion.
- Averted on Monsterquest, where believers in the Monster of the Week occasionally claim to have found bones, hair, or living examples of this trope. To date, genetic or medical analysis has always concluded these either come from humans with physical abnormalities, or from known misidentified animals.
- In Once Upon a Time, it turns out the real reason Gold/Rumplestiltskin hates fairies is because his mother was one, and she abandoned him. That makes him half-fairy, Bealfire and Gideon one-fourth fairy, and Henry one-eighth fairy. It doesn't seem like they inherited any fairy powers though, as Rumple didn't have magic prior to becoming the Dark One.
- The Orville: In "Gently Falling Rain" Ed learns from Teleya that he fathered a half-human/half-Krill daughter with her.
- The Other Kingdom: Devon Quince turns out to be this in the second half of the first season, as it's revealed that Devon's father was actually Fairy King Oberon's older brother, and that he had abandoned the fairy world to marry a mortal woman and give birth to Devon. This means that Devon has partially inherited his father's fairy abilities making Devon half-human and half-fairy.
- Out of This World (1987): The series revolves around Evie Ethel Garland, a young girl who discovers on her thirteenth birthday that her father is an alien named Troy, from the planet Antareus, who married her mother and "merged lifeforms" to create Evie. Evie's half-alien heritage gives her superhuman abilities.
- The Outpost:
- Janzo reads in a book that Blackbloods were created by humans and Lu'quiri mating. Talon scoffs at the notion, saying a human would never survive a sexual encounter with them, as they're huge insect-like beings.
- Season 4 has Wren become pregnant by Janzo. She's surprised, as it wasn't even clear their species can conceive.
- Also in Season 4, it's revealed Blackbloods have descended from an ancient, otherworldly species called the Masters. One, Aster, loved a human woman and sired a child with her. This explains the above, as they have common ancestry (their close similarities are an obvious clue-in fact he says his species must have had common ancestry with humans too for this to happen).
- One episode of Psi Factor has Walter Bork, a tragic monster that looks like some sort of wild boar walking upright who are short statured and deformed. He was created through artificial insemination, using wild boar sperm to fertilize a human egg. Walker Bork is mentally very unstable and has about the intelligence of a child. When he is finally killed, he begs that another creature like himself not be created. However, the end of the episode implies that it's too late for that, and there is at least one more human-pig hybrid.
- The four "pod squad" characters in Roswell: Max, Michael, Tess and Isabel. And their "dupes", Rath, Zan, Lonnie, and Ava.
- Saul Malone of Saul of the Mole Men seems to parody this, as in the second to last episode of the first season he finds out he is somehow half-rock (not that complicated- they show his mother having sex with a big rock).
- Sliders eventually introduces "Humaggs": children of human women impregnated by Kromagg males. They claim it's a necessity, after the humans of Kromagg Prime used a Depopulation Bomb on them, which kills any kromagg female attempting to bear a child. The Humaggs have some of the Kromagg Psychic Powers, including Healing Hands. One episode also included a human, who was subjected to alien gene therapy as a child, with the side effect turning him into a part-Grey (even his blood is blue).
- Smallville has a Kryptonian exile on Earth who fathers a child with a human woman. It's also implied that a Native American tribe of skinwalkers derives their power from a combination of part-Kryptonian ancestry and Green Rocks.
- Alan from Son of Zorn appears to be a normal teenager on the surface, but he's secretly concealing a pair of animated legs, for his father is actually a cartoon fantasy warrior in the mold of He-Man. In the third episode, he discovers that his animated legs have Super-Strength.
- Stargate-verse:
- The Stargate SG-1 sixth season episode "Forsaken" and its season 7 follow-up "Space Race" introduced the Serrakin, a spacefaring race that drove the Goa'uld off the planet Hebridan and formed a mixed society with their human slaves. The Serrakin and Hebridians frequently interbreed, producing a variety of individuals with features of both species.
- There were also two examples of humans with Goa'uld DNA, namely Khalek and Anna. While Khalek had some other oddities due to genetic manipulation, the only trait they seem to inherit from their non-human side was the Goa'uld's genetic memory. This made Khalek evil and gave Anna a split personality.
- Stargate Atlantis:
- Wraith experiments on humans resulted in some Athosian humans, such as Teyla, possessing Wraith DNA. This makes them physically superior to most normal humans and allows them to tap into the Wraith psychic network. As a result, they act as an early warning system for the coming of the Wraith and can spy through on Wraiths through the network if their abilities are powerful enough. Unfortunately, that means the Wraiths can also take psychic control of them and do the same back, but only if the human first initiates contact.
- Wraith came into existence as a result of half a million years of an alien insect feeding and connecting to humans. This resulted, over a long period of time, in a creature that became known as a Wraith. When the Atlantis crew experiment with suppressing the insect DNA, they appear to "cure" Wraiths and make them fully human. However, this requires constant suppression and ultimately fails, producing Michael. Unable to reintegrate into Wraith society, and enraged by what the humans did to him, he becomes one of the show's most dangerous and enduring villains.
- Starman: Scott is this and the story is him reuniting with his alien dad. Scott is the son of an alien dad and a human mom. Since the alien dad took on the DNA of a human man, the genetics are not that hard to explain, but he is still part alien and has powers because of it.
- Star Trek: A common occurrence on the show. Spock was half-Vulcan. Troi was half-Betazoid. B'Elanna Torres was half-Klingon.
- That's not so the audience can relate to the characters, but so the writers can do episodes about racism, or the problems people have adapting to different cultures when they're torn between two worlds. B'Elanna rejected Klingon culture because she blamed her Klingon heritage for her bad temper and lousy life.
- Hybrids apparently have a much harder time dealing with their dual heritage than most of their friends and colleagues.
- Sarek rejected Spock for choosing to join Starfleet rather than the Vulcan Science Academy. They make up later. (If Sarek had actually had issues with humans, he wouldn't have married Amanda or had Spock, or adopted Michael.)
- In an episode of Star Trek: The Original Series, Kirk, in a successful attempt to provoke Spock to anger calls him a "mutinous, disloyal, computerized half-breed".
- The book The Science of Star Trek revealed that a Vulcan-Human hybrid is a biological impossibility to begin with — copper (the base of Vulcan blood) and iron (the base of Human blood) are chemically incompatible and wouldn't be able to carry oxygen if they were somehow combined. And yet some Expanded Universe species have both chemicals in their blood, in separate cells. Eventually the writers tried to mitigate this by establishing that although interspecies reproduction does occur, the probability of success is very low. As well, one episode shows that all the Human Alien and Rubber Forehead Alien races share similar genetic stock planted by Precursors, which makes the whole thing a little more believable.
- The chances of hybrid children can also be increased through science. In Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, Jadzia Dax (a Trill) and Worf (a Klingon) decided to conceive a child and sought Dr. Bashir's help in overcoming their physiological incompatibilities. Bashir treated the would-be mother with "ovarian resequencing enzymes" and reported encouraging results, but Dax's death at the hands of Dukat prevented the pregnancy from actually happening. Likewise, in Star Trek: The Next Generation, K'Ehleyr tells Troi in her first appearance that her conception was only possible with "a fair amount of help".
- In a future timeline that was erased, they did have children, likely through the same treatment. Some descendants would separate to live life the true Klingon way as taught by Worf, but they all would have enough Trill in them to carry the Dax symbiont.
- Worf's son Alexander is three-quarters Klingon and one-quarter human, as his mother K'Ehleyr was half-human. Like Worf himself, Alexander was largely raised by the Rozhenkos, although Alexander feels more human than Klingon, which is why he prefers to be called "Alexander Rozhenko" rather than "Alexander, son of Worf".
- The novel The Final Reflection has Klingons create "fusions" with other races via genetic engineering; John M. Ford, who also wrote the Klingon supplement to FASA's Star Trek RPG, used this to explain the changes in the appearance of Klingons through the TV series and into the movies. The main character, Krenn, a guest at a diplomatic conference, attends a presentation describing the genetic engineering process that was used to produce Spock (who is a teenager at the time; in one of the many shout-outs in the book, Krenn and Spock run into each other and play a game of chess) and suspects that the fusion process was stolen from the Klingons.
- Naomi Wildman is the daughter of a Ktarian man and a human woman. However, her being this trope is almost never mentioned.
- Miral Paris is the daughter of Tom Paris and B'Elanna Torres, making her three-quarters human and one-quarter Klingon.
- Crewman Tarses (introduced as three-quarters human, one-quarter Vulcan) is the victim of a witch hunt on board the Enterprise. Hounded by the over-zealous investigator of a sabotage conspiracy, he ends up revealing that the secret he's hiding has nothing to do with the sabotage: his nonhuman grandfather was Romulan, not Vulcan. Ironically, he lied to Starfleet about his heritage to avoid racial persecution.
- This actually becomes a plot point in Star Trek: New Frontier: An enemy of the Federation is busy studying hybrids for hints as to how to make the perfect body so that one of their own can wear one and infiltrate And it turns out it works, as either Nechayev was a hybrid all along, or she was kidnapped and a hybrid made to look like her infiltrated Starfleet.
- Star Trek: Enterprise has the Villain of the Week, a raging xenophobe, create one in vitro from Trip and T'Pol's DNA, using the baby girl to represent the genetic "doom" that humanity is bound to plunge into if they continue harbouring aliens. Due to complications, the baby dies anyway, but Dr. Phlox reveals that naturally conceived hybrids ought to have no such problems (i.e. Spock).
- Another episode features Lorian, a future child of Trip and T'Pol from an alternate timeline, also made possible by genetic modification. Lorian's fate was erased since that timeline was eventually averted. note
- That's not so the audience can relate to the characters, but so the writers can do episodes about racism, or the problems people have adapting to different cultures when they're torn between two worlds. B'Elanna rejected Klingon culture because she blamed her Klingon heritage for her bad temper and lousy life.
- Supernatural: Jesse Turner is half demon.
- A woman named Jane is revealed to be a Nephilim. It's said that there were more, but they were all killed by Heaven.
- There is also in the series a Demigod named Oliver, who is the son of Prometheus and a human woman.
- Taken:
- In "Beyond the Sky", Sally Clarke and the alien John had sex in her shed, resulting in their son Jacob being conceived. By the time that he is ten years old in "Jacob and Jesse", Jacob has developed Psychic Powers, including the ability to see the future and show a person all of their memories and all their fears. However, Jacob is unable to withstand the physical strain that his abilities place on him and dies at only 32 in "Charlie and Lisa". His daughter Lisa is one-quarter alien but inherits only limited powers, being essentially a carrier. Although Lisa's daughter Allie is one-eighth alien, she is considerably more powerful than even the aliens themselves. As she inherited the Keys family's immunity to the harmful effects of the aliens' biology and technology from her father Charlie, she does not suffer the same health problems as her grandfather Jacob.
- In "Acid Tests", the aliens conducted another experiment in creating hybrids but with considerably less successful results. A young woman named Nadine in Hyder, Alaska was abducted and impregnated. The pregnancy proved to be extremely difficult and she died while giving birth to her twin sons. The boys were taken in by her father Leo, who named them Larry and Lester. While Jacob, Lisa, and Allie are completely human in appearance, Larry and Lester resemble the aliens much more closely. They have grey skin, large black eyes, and only four fingers. They seemingly possessed the same Psychic Powers as Jacob but had less control over them. After Larry was killed by Sheriff Kerby, Lester's powers became even stronger, to the point that he couldn't turn them off.
- Tidelands (Netflix): The Tidelanders are all half human/half siren, giving them some of the sirens' abilities but looking human. In every case, they have human fathers and siren mothers, since sirens' songs call men into the sea.
