History Main / HalfHumanHybrid

* Kokonoe from {{Blazblue}} is the only half-human, half-cat hybrid in the series.

* In Vadim Panov's ''Secret City'':

* Played straight and averted in Katharine Kerr's Deverry series. Dwarves and elves are infertile with each other. However, ''both'' races are fertile with humans. And a half-dwarf is shown bearing twin daughters to a father of half-elven heritage.

* In {{Sekirei}}, it is revealed that [[spoiler: Minato and the other Ashikabi are essentially this because their ancestors were Sekirei that mated with humans in ancient times. Their alien heritage is expressed to a degree that they've been described as something other than human, but lack a Sekirei's core or powers.]]

* Caspian's tutor, Dr. Cornelius, in ''PrinceCaspian'' is secretly part dwarf, and it's implied that Caspian's childhood nurse is also descended from dwarfs who'd avoided Telmarine pogroms by passing themselves off as short humans. Caspian's own son is half ''star'', stars being glowing humanoid beings in the world of {{Narnia}}. Furthermore, ''TheMagiciansNephew'' states that the children of Narnia's first human king and queen married wood-nymphs and river-spirits.

* ''WesternAnimation/Ben10AlienForce'' has Ben training a band of kids with powers similar to his original aliens (or at least he SHOULD be training them, but the animators don't seem to want to have to draw massive amounts of cast members each episode, so the status quo of three is maintained) to fight the alien BigBad. Interestingly, these kids are all hybrids of aliens of varying species and children of Plumbers (who have all been given badges that act as tracking devices, making them easy to find), which makes you wonder if an interest in alien reproduction is a requirement to join the Plumbers... And the fact that a human shouldn't even be able to touch an alien made of lava can be handwaved with the use of alien technology, should any fan get a case of FridgeLogic.

* An episode of ''StarWarsTheCloneWars'' involved a [[GreenSkinnedSpaceBabe Twi'lek]] woman and her two half-human, half-twi'lek children as major characters, inadvertently validating ''decades'' of Star Wars FetishFuel.

* Averted in Robert J. Sawyers’s Calculating God: Tom Jericho is showing StarTrek to a StarfishAlien:

* Congressman William "Tracy" Arnold R-MI attempted to introduce House Bill 819, the Protection of the Human Person Act, to [[DefiedTrope prevent this trope]]. The response from anyone in Congress who actually knew anything about science amounted to "You're trying to solve a problem that doesn't exist."

* Averted for the most part in ''{{Rifts}}''; Dog Boys and their ilk are NOT {{Half Human Hybrid}}s. They look it, and in the hands of lesser players may act it, but they're really just very smart dogs who were raised by humans. Hybrids are specifically said to be impossible, unless one parent is a God or Demon.

** Ichigo himself provides a deconstruction. He's always identified himself as a Shinigami, even as a Visored. Certainly helped by how the Gotei 13 restored his Shinigami reiatsu in the penultimate arc. However, when he gets a chance to train with [[PraetorianGuard Squad Zero]], ''the'' strongest living Shinigami out there, he ''fails to pass''. Instead, it's Renji, the perpetual Jobber, who passes. His trainer, Oetsu Nimaiya, explains that it's ''because'' Ichigo is not a full-fledged Shinigami that he couldn't pass. Not only can Ichigo not fix his EmpathicWeapon - he's ''kicked out of the Soul Society''.

* Alex Campbell from the Eighth Doctor BigFinishDoctorWho audio stories ''An Earthly Child'', ''Relative Dimensions'', ''Lucie Miller'' and ''To the Death'' was [[spoiler:the son of Time Lady Susan Foreman (The Doctor's granddaugter and very first companion) and human David Campbell]]. Although, it was revealed that only 7% of his genes were [[spoiler: Gallifreyan]] so the only signs of his heritage were a powerful immune system. Other than that, he was [[spoiler: non-telepathic, non-regenerative and only had one heart.]] The bit about him being [[spoiler: unable to regenerate]] later had tragic consequences in [[spoiler: ''To The Death''.]]

* In the manga/anime ''{{Saiyuki}}'', humans and demons may interbreed, but the offspring are discovered to be infertile.

The results of an InterspeciesRomance.

** [[spoiler:Then it's revealed, in Chapter 514, that their mother was a ''quincy'', meaning that their family was never going to be truly normal to begin with.]]

** At least one Man outside the Númenorean royal line mentioned above, Prince Imrahil, is speculated by characters within the book to have Elven blood. This suggests the possibility of more intermarriage between Men and Elves occurring than just the three specifically mentioned instances in the books.

* ''A Thousand Words For Stranger'', the first book in Julie E. Czerneda's ''Trade Pact Universe'' trilogy, mentions rather offhandedly that there are three known species with which humans can have offspring. In all cases, medical intervention is required and the child is infertile. It is implied but never confirmed that the {{Human Alien|s}} protagonist and her love interest may also be inter-fertile.

* In the manga of ''MahouSenseiNegima'' it is revealed that [[spoiler:Setsuna is half-tengu, a variety of humanoid crow {{Youkai}}.]] This is hinted at in the last episode of the anime, but never said outright. The manga also features Kotaro Inugami, a boy who is half-Dog Demon/Youkai.. And [[spoiler: Mana is later revealed to be [[OurDemonsAreDifferent half-demon]].]]

* [[spoiler: Mordred]] in the final volume of Stephen King's TheDarkTower is the child of [[spoiler: two full-blooded humans, one demon elemental who was turned human by {{Magitek}}, and one PhysicalGod who had at least one human ancestor and may be as much as half-human.]] ItsALongStory.
** Also in ''TheDarkTower'' series, the Can-Toi, or the "low men" are half-human, half-taheen.

* ''TheDresdenFiles'' has a couple of variants on these. There are changelings, who are the scions of humans and one type or another of the Fae. Outwardly, they look human, but as they grow older they take on characteristics of their Fae side; for example, a scion of a human and a troll would become large and brutish and with odd-colored hair. Eventually, the changeling has to "Choose" whether to embrace their faerie heritage and become a full-blooded faerie, or to remain human and lose the faerie powers. There's also Kincaid, a centuries-old hitman who is the scion of a human and something from [[{{Hell}} Down Below]].

Positive characters also tend to pick up all the advantages and powers of their component races with no disadvantages or weaknesses. A half-vampire might pick up SuperStrength and VoluntaryShapeshifting [[OneHeroHoldTheWeaksauce without having a weakness to sunlight or a thirst for blood,]] for example, or a half-elf gets magic and an extended lifespan (funny, that). Being a Half-Human Hybrid is almost always a plus for protagonists, although the characters [[CursedWithAwesome usually don't think so]]. Frequently it's because of [[FreakinessShame self image issues]], possibly due to people getting freaked out at them [[HornedHumanoid having horns]] and hooves or the like. [[CuteMonsterGirl Females tend to be luckier in this regard]] than males, due to being seen as an exotic beauty.

* ''NeonGenesisEvangelion'':

* Also from the Whoniverse; ex-companion BerniceSummerfield conceived a son with a [[PettingZooPeople Kiloran]] (humanoid with canine overtones) called Adrian Wall while she was possessed by a [[GrandTheftMe soul sucker]] called Avril Fenman. The birth didn't go so well as he was too large to be deivered normally so Benny had to undergo a C-section ''while in a prison cell''. After being saved, he was named Peter Guy Summerfield. Being half Kiloran he looked mostly humanoid but with a few furry patches, dog-ears and a wet nose. He was also stronger than all but the most augmented humans by the time he was eight.

* Alex Campbell from the Eighth Doctor BigFinishDoctorWho audio stories ''An Earthly Child'', ''Relative Dimensions'', ''Lucie Miller'' and ''To the Death'' was [[spoiler:the son of Time Lady Susan Foreman (The Doctor's very first travelling companion) and human David Campbell]].

[[quoteright:304:[[VideoGame/SamAndMax http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Half-elf.jpg]]]]

* Spoofed in ''SamAndMax'', in which Bosco's avatar in an MMORPG is elf on one half of his body, and human on the other, as seen in the image for this page. Also used straight in a later episode, where Bosco changes time so that he's part cow. Dialogue in this part also implies that Sam and Max are "freakish animal-human hybrids", not just [[FunnyAnimal funny animals]].
