History Main / HeinzHybrid

** Thanks to the proliferation of creature templates in 3rd edition, it was possible to start with a half-orc or half-elf character and slap on template after template, including half-dragon, half-fiend, half-celestial, half-elemental, and half-troll, to get an impossibly mixed up character with incredible powers ([[GlassCannon but only one hit die]]).

-->''The offspring of the Missing Link and a mule, if happily married to the promising child of a Manx cat and a penguin, would not outrun centaur and griffin; it would be something lacking in all the interesting features of man and beast and bird.''

->''"57 Varieties"''

** In a variation, Marceline is "only" genetically half-demon, half-human but then she also became a vampire.

** In ''Discworld/MakingMoney'', Moist is asked to guess what breed [[FormallyNamedPet Mr. Fusspot]] is, and can only manage to say, "[[HowManyAllOfThem Er, all of them?]]" He's half "spoon hound," but whatever else he is is unknown.

** ''Discworld/{{Eric}}'' introduces (and extroduces) the demon god of the [[{{Mayincatec}} Tezuman]] empire, Quetzovercoatl, the Feathered Boa. Half-man, half-chicken, half-jaguar, half-serpent, half-scorpion and half-mad (a total of three homicidal maniacs).

* In the ''Literature/HollowKingdomTrilogy'', goblins choose their mates by who will provide them with the strongest children, regardless of species or consent, and their offspring inherit whatever the parents like most about each other, along with random body parts from other ancestors. For example, the royal family is prone to MismatchedEyes, ExtraDigits, and [[BestialityIsDepraved animal paws]]. As a result, most goblins look quite monstrous and cannot travel in human lands without a heavy cloak at ''minimum''.

* ''Franchise/LiloAndStitch'': In ''[esternAnimation/TheOriginOfStitch The Origin of Stitch'' short subject, when Stitch enters Jumba's lab, he learns that his body is comprised of elements from other aliens which Jumba tracked down and used to create Stitch, his greatest masterpiece of creation, who surpassed Jumba's expectations when he found a family and a home.

* ''Franchise/LiloAndStitch'': In ''[[Disney/LiloAndStitch2StitchHasAGlitch The Origin of Stitch]]'' short subject, when Stitch enters Jumba's lab, he learns that his body is comprised of elements from other aliens which Jumba tracked down and used to create Stitch, his greatest masterpiece of creation, who surpassed Jumba's expectations when he found a family and a home.

* Fans of ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' have produced quite a few. Most common are [[https://derpibooru.org/tags/satyr Satyrs]], the offspring of a human and any character from the franchise[[note]]Ponies are most common but there are also changelings, dragons, gryphons, and even diamond dogs and breezies[[/note]] which are basically human from the waist up and pony from the waist down. There are also [[https://derpibooru.org/tags/kirin Kirins]] the offspring of a pony and a dragon, [[https://derpibooru.org/tags/hippogriff Hippogriffs]] the offspring of a pony and a gryphons(which are in fact canon), and strangest of all the [[CreepyCute eerily cute]] [[https://derpibooru.org/tags/tatzlpony Tatzlpony]], a hybrid of a pony and that huge worm thing from ''[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS4E11ThreesACrowd Three's A Crowd]]''. Basically if there are two different species in this show, you'd better believe a hybrid has been made of them. Naturally, [[https://derpibooru.org/tags/centaur centaurs]] are also a thing.
* For a specific fan example from ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'', we have [[https://derpibooru.org/search?q=artist%3Abadumsquish+AND+%28suggestive+OR+safe%29 Badumsquish]] who is ''very'' fond of creating hybrids from the series. Among others he's hybridized a pony with a [[https://derpibooru.org/1036915 toaster]] and a [[https://derpibooru.org/939973 lamp]], a human with creatures such as [[https://derpibooru.org/796353 timberwolves]] and [[https://derpibooru.org/951624 windigos]], [[https://derpibooru.org/1001513 Fluttershy with a squirrel]], [[https://derpibooru.org/1026113 Applejack with applesauce]], and for the absolute oddest example, [[https://derpibooru.org/1098132 Rarity with one of the dress monsters]] from ''[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS5E13DoPrincessesDreamOfMagicSheep Do Princesses Dream Of Magic Sheep]]''. Unsurprisingly, he's a big fan of Tatzljack as well.

* From Memory Gamma, a ''Franchise/StarTrek'' {{fanon}} wiki, the ''Fanfic/WarshipVoyager'' version of [[http://memory-gamma.wikia.com/wiki/Rachel_Leslie_%28Warship_VOY%29 Rachel Leslie]]. Part human, part Klingon, part Andorian, and part Cardassian. Apparently done by use of Borg nanoprobes to alter her DNA.

* Since before the Internet, various amusing snippets of poorly-written homework assignments have circulated throughout the world. One of these boasts a claim that Music/GeorgeFredericHandel was half-German, half-Italian and half-English. "[[http://english-zone.com/language/ss-blooper.html He was very large]]."

* By the end of ''VideoGame/MetroidFusion'', Samus Aran is part human, part Chozo and part Metroid.

* Franchise/StarTrekExpandedUniverse and [[Franchise/StarTrekNovelVerse Novel Verse]]:

* Most "mutts" you find in the local pound tend to have very colorful family trees. A dog could have had a pure Chow grandfather and Labrador mix grandmother on one side, and a Welsh Corgi/Standard Poodle grandfather and German Shepard/American Healer grandmother on the other. And, at some level, he'll likely show traits of ''all of them''. However, it's worth noting these are all technically the same species, ''Canis lupus familiaris''.

** Wholphin: Mating a female bottlenose dolphin with a false killer whale produces another type of hybrid, one that can produce offspring but with a success rate [[MassEffect comparable to Krogan]]

* In ''Webcomic/TheKennyChronicles'' Tarnekis are genetically engineered [[PettingZooPeople human-animal hybrids]] for whom species appear to be mostly cosmetic. The titular character is about 75% fox (both red and fennec) and 25% cat, while his girlfriend (later wife) is half-lemming half-baboon, needless to say in the sequel series [[http://ferretsvslemmings.com/archive/toddler-hugs/ their daughter]] is a bit complicated.

* In ''Literature/TheGreatTreeOfAvalon,'' Tamwyn is referred to as a human, which is odd, because technically he's half [[PlayingWithFire flameon]], one-quarter [[OurWerebeastsAreDifferent deer man]], with a [[OurMermaidsAreDifferent mermaid]] great-great-grandmother.

* ''WesternAnimation/TheGrimAdventuresOfBillyAndMandy'': Irwin is revealed over the course of the series to be half-mummy, 1/4-human, and 1-4 vampire; his mother is a {{mummy}}, and his grandfather is {{Dracula}}.

* In ''Webcomic/KevinAndKell''. it turns out a member of a FantasticRacism group of "purebred" canines is "23% coyote, 21% jackal, 48% dingo ... and 2% hamster". It's implied that many members of the group, and presumably a large proportion of the population who've never worried about who their ancestors were, have something similar.

* Josh's character in the webcomic ''WebComic/ChainmailBikini'' is half-human, half-Dark Elf, and half-Orc. He justifies it by saying that [[YouFailBiologyForever Orcs and Dark Elves are okay with polygamy]].

** Leogar: These hybrids of male leopard and female tiger have occurred naturally in the wilds of India on enough occasions for them to rate a common name (dogla) among local natives.

** The 3.5E ''TabletopGames/ForgottenRealms: Underdark'' supplement has the baphitaur, a cross between a tiefling (UnevenHybrid of human and [[OurDemonsAreDifferent fiend]]) and a minotaur. The fluff text notes this to have been done by magical experimentation rather than sexual reproduction.

* OlderThanDirt: In ''Literature/TheEpicOfGilgamesh'', Gilgamesh is somehow 1/3 human and 2/3rds god. We know his lineage (goddess mother, human father who became part-divine in life), and it would make him 1/4 human, 3/4 god. It never seems to get translated like that, though.
** For what it's worth, the original author(s) [[ScienceMarchesOn thought that genetics worked like that]], so the modern translations, while incorrect in terms of biology, are accurate linguistically.
*** Genetics do work like that. He may have been 1/4 Human, 3/4 God by heritage, but the DNA he got from his father could have been anything from all Human to all God. If it happened to be 1/3 God and 2/3 Human, then his total genetic makeup would be as described.

* ''WesternAnimation/LiloAndStitch'': In "The Origin of Stitch" short subject, when Stitch enters Jumba's lab, he learns that his body is comprised of elements from other aliens which Jumba tracked down and used to create Stitch, his greatest masterpiece of creation, who surpassed Jumba's expectations when he found a family and a home.

** The recurring character Nobby Nobb is the subject of massive speculation about his ancestry due to his [[TheAllegedCar appearance.]] He eventually becomes a card-carrying human. Not figuratively; he was always human, he just now literally carries a card to prove he's human. In later books there's speculation he might be part goblin, and he's apparently fairly attractive by their standards.

** Some are actually common enough to become established species in Xanth, such as winged centaurs, who come from various combinations (one being a cross between a centaur (human/horse cross) and a hippogryph, which is ''itself'' another HeinzHybrid, being a horse/[[MixAndMatchCritters gryphon]] cross), and the mer-naga, which are a cross between mermaid (human/fish) and naga (human/snake).

** ''Series/StarTrekDeepSpaceNine'': In an alternate timeline seen in [[Recap/StarTrekDeepSpaceNineS05E22ChildrenOfTime "Children of Time"]] the ''Defiant'' crash-landed on a planet in the Gamma Quadrant 200 years in the past. The crew intermarried, with Jadzia known to have married and had children with Worf. By the time of the episode the planet's entire population of 8,000 people descended from the crew are {{Heinz Hybrid}}s of (at minimum) human, Trill, Bajoran, and Klingon.

* This is the official explanation in the MegaCrossover FanWebcomic ''Webcomic/{{Roommates}}'' for supernatural abilities. One extremity is pure human (no magic at all) the other pure FairFolk ("made of magic", extremely rare) anything between is a HeinzHybrid (so most of the people considered TheFairFolk, the WitchSpecies and probably even a part of humanity). Every character can try to do the genealogical research himself if he cares what percentage fae he is (they normally don't because the [[TangledFamilyTree magic family tree]] makes "1+1=<><" sense at times).

** The Omnitrix has done this more than once. Kevin 11 got his powers when he used his own energy absorbing abilities to try and take the Omnitrix's powers, resulting in a monster that's one-tenth ''every'' one of Ben's Omnitrix repertoire at the time.
