Hybrids usually go by saying their parentage (e.g. sphinx/manticore, werewolf/akhlut, etc.), however, these are the hybrids that go by a different name than their parents. Some of these hybrids are on lists of their own, and those can be found here and here.

Werepyre[]

Werepyres are the offsprings of vampires and werebeasts. These hybrids, like all werebeasts, have two forms. The main form looks indistinguishable from natural-born vampires. Their beast forms, however, combine aspects of both werebeasts and vampire bats, with the body structure mainly being werebeast-ish, but having bat-like nose flaps at the tip of their noses, elongated teeth (looking similar to sabers), completely black fur/skin/scales/feathers, red eyes, and, most obvious of all, large bat wings sprouting from their shoulderblades (or, in the case of werebirds, their arms turning into a mixture of bird and bat wings).

After they hatch out of their chrysalis, they keep the green scaly skin, blue compound eyes, glasses-shaped markings, horns, and spines, but they also gain two pairs of arms, with writing quill-like claws, two insectoid/draconic legs, draconic fangs in their mouths, a forked tongue, writing quill-like antennae on their foreheads, a draconic tail, and four, paper-like wings on their backs, with what appears to be writing on them.

Ents[]

Ents are unusual (but not unheard of) hybrids of dryads and giants. Appearance-wise, ents tend to take on the appearance of their dryad parent (typically with features that belie the specific tree they're bonded to), such as bark-like skin, leafy hair, eyes the color of fruit, nuts, or seeds; however, they also tend to have features that belie their giant heritage, the specifics of which depend on the subtype of giant. For example, an ent of cyclops descent will typically only have one large eye, whereas one with frost giant heritage may appear to be permanently covered in snow and frost. Whatever the case may be, ents will typically share the large stature of their giant ancestors, and may be mistaken for mundane trees until one sees them moving.

Multiweres[]

Multiwere is an umbrella term for anyone born of mixed werebeast parentage; for example, someone with both werebear and wererat lineage, someone of werecat and wereshark lineage, someone with both weresnake and werewolf, etc. When one is a multiwere, what animal they transform into depends from individual to individual. Some may take after one of their parents or the other, some may have multiple animal forms, and some may have animal forms that possess aspects of both lineages.

Svartalf[]

Svartalfs (sometimes derogatorily called Dark Elves) are unusual (yet not unheard of) hybrids of dwarves and elves. Seeing how diverse elves are, svartalfs are similarly diverse, however, the most common thing between them is the fact that a svartalf's height will typically be somewhere between their dwarf parent and their elf parent's heights. Some svartalf's are more unusual than others, with svartalfs of wood elf descent being the most common, those of light elf decent being the most rare, and those of northern elf and brownie (house elf) descent are both somewhere in the middle.

Peri[]

Peri are fairly common hybrids of fairies and genies. They tend to possess both the wings of their fairy parents, as well as their legs dissolving into wisps of magical energies as they fly, akin to their genie parents. Also similar to their genie parents, peri tend to become "bonded" to an enchanted object.

Sylph[]

Sylph are unusual, but not unheard of, hybrids between harpies and either aurai or nebulae/nephele. Appearance-wise, sylph mostly appear like their harpy parents, with mostly feathered bodies, bird-like tails, legs, and wings, human-like faces, and arms that appear like a mixture of human arm and bird talon, but with some aspects of their nymph heritage (e.g. blue skin and white, cloud-like feathers/wings/tail with nebulae/nephele heritage, and light gray skin, and white feathers/wings/tail with aura heritage).


Sipyre[]

A sipyre is a mix between a siren and a vampire. They will lure a human into following them into the water with their voice, and once at the break of the human wanting to kiss the mermaid looking lady she will reveal her fangs and attack the human. They will usually have a siren tail, but they will not be pale, they will have a normal toned skin and have the ability to change into a human looking person; they will secretly be a sipyre in a half vampire form.
