List of Named Hybrids (2024)

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).

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.

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.
