Like his father, the young dog — still just a puppy, really — had the floppy ears and scruffy, scraggly gray fur of a Schnauzer. Despite looking exactly like his mixed-Schnauzer mutt of a father, little Scamp was actually half purebred Cocker Spaniel. You'd just never know it by looking at him.
Just like how Scamp looked exactly like his dad and nothing like his mom, the three girls had the same long, beautiful golden-brown fur as their mother, but looked nothing at all like their father. It was strange.
"You know, it's a lesser-known fact in Hyrule that the Rito and us Zoras are the only races capable of marrying with Hylians and having children that are entirely of one race or the other. Having a Hylian like you as a father always made me interested in learning about this kind of stuff. I asked my mother once how it all worked, and how…being that we were all Zoras, you could be a Hylian and still be a member of our family. I remembered the loving grin on her face when she answered me. She told me that the race of the children always matches the race of the mother, since we and the Rito both lay eggs. Hylian mothers give live birth to Hylians, despite the race of their husbands. I, um…find it to be really fascinating!"
