** Hags reproduce by abducting humanoid males and conceiving offspring known as as changelings, who are generally beautiful but hit the UncannyValley and must be mystically transformed to become new hags. In First Edition, only the hags' daughters are changelings, with their sons being ordinary humans that are generally eaten by the mother, but in Second Edition their sons are changelings as well and [[GenderBender can also become hags]], albeit more rarely.

Added DiffLines:

* ''TabletopGame/{{Pathfinder}}'' shares much of this trope with ''Dungeons & Dragons'', sometimes adding its own spin to it.
** Three Adventure Paths include modules where a romanceable "monster" appears; Undrella the [[HarpingOnAboutHarpies harpy]] (in ''Legacy of Fire''), Greta the [[AnIcePerson winter]] [[SavageWolves wolf]] (in ''Reign of Winter'') and Arueshalae the [[SuccubiAndIncubi succubus]] (in ''Wrath of the Righteous''). The first two characters are highly unusual in that they are, by default, Evil and malevolent, but can undergo a HeelFaceTurn [[LoveRedeems if a PC courts them sincerely]]. Arueshalae is already past being Evil or malevolent, and falling in love with a PC grants her points towards her full redemption.
** In regards to half-orcs, the First Edition emphasized the ChildByRape characterization as part of its DarkerAndEdgier set-up. Somewhat hypocritically, no important half-orc characters have yet been presented who have this origin. Irijmka, the iconic Inquisitor, was found as a MysteriousWaif orphan and raised by a Pharasman temple orphanage. Irabeth Tirablade, a female half-orc paladin from the Worldwound adventure path,was born when her orc father genuinely fell in love with, and subsequently married, her human mother. Tsadok Goldtooth, TheDragon to a major enemy late in the Skull & Shackles adventure path, was born due to the friendship between his human father and orc mother blossoming into love after they helped each other escape from the pirate ship they were slaves aboard. Oloch, the iconic Warpriest, was born of a consensual dalliance (his human mom was an adventurer who openly enjoyed coupling with orcs who were amicable) and has several half-siblings implied to at least include further half-orcs of the same manner of conception. Second Edition largely moves away from the idea of half-orcs being the result of rape.
** [[HarpingOnAboutHarpies Harpies]] need to abduct human men to have children... and it's also cultural tradition for the harpy to kill (and usually eat) her lover after the act. Especially if she gets pregnant by it.

* ''TabletopGame/BluePlanet'' revolves around a [[AwesomeUnderwaterWorld water planet]] named Poseidon that's colonized by genetically modified humans and SapientCetaceans. Sexual relations between the two is relatively common, with common dolphins in particular said to be the most likely to form long-term relationships with humans due to similar coupling behaviors and their natural curiosity about us making us exotic in their eyes.

** Among the crop of post-Mending walkers, there seems to be a bit of ShipTease going on between the human Planeswalker Jace and the Gorgon Planeswalker Vraska. Jace’s previous romance involved the immortal necromancer [[TheNecromancer Liliana Vess]]. Meanwhile, a [[HoYay same-sex version]] is hinted at between [[PlayingWithFire pyromancer Chandra Nalaar]] and [[OurElvesAreDifferent elvish druid Nissa Revane]].

** In the same book, the Wood Elf Trancas co-owns a business with the human ex-sergeant Morgaine Bauersdottir, and it is noted offhand that they are both best friends and lovers. Trancas's description also notes that interested human women occasionally proposition him [[IncompatibleOrientation to no avail]]; implying that such a thing isn't unthinkable in the first place.
