* In ''VideoGame/EndlessSpace2'', the Horatio's Gene Hunter ability allows them to sacrifice pops of other races living in their empire to enhance the main Horatio pops. This is limited by the fact that each use of the ability permanently increases the required sacrifical pops by two. While two pops is easy to provide, after just a few uses it will take the populations of entire ''planets'' and later ''systems'' to gain new boosts. Eventually it simply becomes impractical to try and supply enough pops of even the most useful race instead of just replacing them with Horatios.

* In ''VideoGame/{{Stellaris}}'', the three mutually exclusive Ascension Paths grant the empire a unique species bonus: Cyborg for the Synthetic path; Psionic for the Psionic path; and a series of powerful unique traits for Genetic. Due to the way genetic modification worked, it was possible with some tweaking to get traits from two or all three paths on a single pop and then spread it to their entire race. Paradox stepped in by making it so unique traits such as Cyborg and Psionic could no longer be added or removed for a pre-existing pop, curtailing the player ability to create these hybrids.

** This varies a bit from game to game, explained by the different protagonists expressing the magic of gems and colors in different ways. Later games will usually let you mix any set of colors, in any available proportions, and get a gem which technically inherits all of its ancestors' traits. The power of specials does always drop off sharply with each new color mixed into a gem, and it's very possible for the effects of a color to diminish to an extent that the gem info no longer bothers to mention them (even though the traces are still there). It's still sometimes worth doing things this way.

* In ''Literature/TheWarGods'' the 5 races of man are 5 different human subspecies. While its possible for any two to have a child together, the resulting hybrid usually is infertile.
** Half-elves are the main exception as a TrueBreedingHybrid, with the Purple Lords trying to make Half-elves recognized as the sixth race. However, if Half-elves have children with a human, the children are purely human. Half-elves can only product half-elf children with elves and half-elves. Enough half dwarves have also existed that some dwarf-blood is common in the Axemen.
** However, the biggest issue appears to be how the species ties to the magic field. Elves tie into it for immortality(but used to be a WitchSpecies ). Dwarves have stoneworking magic, Hradani get stamina and antimagic, Halfings their dexterity. Only Human and Human-Hradani hybrids can become wizards however.

* [[FusionDance Merging]] the titular [[PowerCrystal magic gems]] in ''VideoGame/{{Gemcraft}}'' to create a more powerful one is a core gameplay mechanic, and fusing together two pure gems of different colors creates a dual gem with larger stat bonuses as well as the specials of both colors. Merging more colors into it, however, negates the bonuses altogether.

Everyone likes a NinjaPirateZombieRobot, which is why making a HybridMonster that combines two fantastic creatures into one, like a cyborg-centaur or a demon-elf, is popular in fiction. However, like most good things, it can be a bit overdone.
