* Creator/MikhailAkhmanov's ''Literature/ArrivalsFromTheDark'' series is mainly focused on various descendants of Paul Richard Corcoran, whose mother is impregnated with the seed of a [[HumanAlien Faata]] while she is [[AlienAbduction abducted]]. All of Paul's descendants fit this trope, although not all tend to manifest Faata PsychicPowers and unusually long life (the so-called "Corcoran Curse"). In fact, with each generation, the chances of the latent abilities manifesting are reduced, as the Faata genes get even more diluted by human blood. The ''Trevelyan's Mission'' series takes place about 1000 years after the death of Paul Richard Corcoran, and the protagonist eventually finds out that he is one of Corcoran's descendants. By that point, the "Curse" has long been forgotten, as it hasn't manifested itself through Corcoran's countless descendants for a long time. [[spoiler:And yes, Ivar Trevelyan ends up developing PsychicPowers himself]].

Due to the prevalence of the InterspeciesRomance, [[HalfHumanHybrid half-human]] and [[NonHumanHumanoidHybrid other varieties of interspecies hybrid]] children are fairly common in fiction. These characters may in turn conceive or sire children with pure-blood members of either parent's species, producing a second generation with a majority of one species and a minority of the other.

Such individuals are likely to demonstrate various traits from their minority ancestor, though such traits are likely to be more subtle the farther back said ancestor is.

* Bengals are a cat breed produced by breeding a domestic cat with an Asian leopard cat, a type of wild cat. These hybrids are sometimes bred with other, pure domestic cats to produce a more manageable pet. Similarly, the Savannah is a cat breed produced by crossbreeding a serval with a domestic cat. As with the Bengal, the offspring are sometimes bred with full domestic cats.
* The same also sometimes happens with wolves and domestic dogs; people want a dog that looks like a wolf but behaves like a dog. A half wolf, half dog is usually too much for most people, but breeding it with another dog is done to produce dogs that behave more like dogs. Meanwhile in Australia, dingos and domestic dogs frequently interbreed, and there aren't many purebred dingos left.
