* ''WesternAnimation/MeetTheRobinsons'': Uncle Fritz’s “wife” is a HandPuppet called Aunt Petunia, and they have children together. While it’s very possible that they’re adopted (after all, the movie is partially about adoption anyway), their children actually do resemble the both of them, so who knows?

* ''Series/SonOfZorn'' is about an animated [[Franchise/MastersOfTheUniverse He-Man]] {{Expy}} having a child with a live-action human woman. Their son’s [[MixAndMatchMan upper half looks like that of a normal human’s, but his bottom half is animated]] (however that works).

* {{Discussed}} in Series/GameOfThrones. In Season 5, Roose Bolton conceives a child with [[spoiler:[[BigBeautifulWoman Fat Walda]]]], and the maesters inform him it will be a son. After Roose tells [[spoiler:[[BastardBastard Ramsay]]]] the news as leverage against him, [[spoiler:Ramsay]] uses this trope to taunt Roose, questioning how he was able to do the deed [[HollywoodPudgy with his lady wife]].

Compare ManOfSteelWomanOfKleenex. See Also InterspeciesRomance, BoldlyComing, and HybridMonster. See GRatedSex for when this is seen as UnfortunateImplications and therefore [[DefiedTrope defied]] with a means of reproduction that avoids mating like normal animals. If they're the same or very similar species, it can be HugeGuyTinyGirl or TinyGuyHugeGirl.

** A majority of the 800+ Pokémon are divided into 15 "egg groups" based loosely on biological niches and appearances, such as "Bug," "Mineral," or "Fairy;" only Pokémon that share an egg group can produce offspring. Theoretically, this should help curb this trope so that only Pokémon that are sufficiently alike can breed. In practice, the categories are still too broad to actually enforce this. Even the "Water" category, which is split into three subcategories (amphibious, vertebrate, and invertebrate) is subject to this, and so the jellyfish-like Tentacool can mate with the coral-like Corsola because they're both in the "Water 3" group.

* The original Antlion was the child of a male lion and a female ant.
* Literature/TheBible may or may not feature this (depending on your interpretation) in the form of the Nephilim. Angelic fathers, human mothers.

* In Creator/RalphBakshi's ''WesternAnimation/{{Wizards}}'', Elinore is a human-size half-human/half-fairy, whose mother was the tiny latter, a size comparison can be seen [[https://www.collectors.com/entertainment-item/wizards-movie-poster-1977-ralph-bakshi-lobby-card-6/8683024967506380571 here]].

* The online Flash incarnation of ''VideoGame/YouDontKnowJack'' had Nate the Intern [[spoiler:leaving the show to marry Tiny the Elephant at the end of]] [[http://www.youdontknowjack.com/node/525 Episode 60]]. No known offspring resulted, though.

'''Nate:''' Yeah, Home Depot. We could really use a ladder.

** The 800+ Pokémon are divided into 15 "egg groups" based loosely on biological niches, such as "Bug," "Mineral," or "Fairy." Almost all Pokémon belong to at least one grouping; male and female monsters that share a group can breed, regardless of relative size or form, and the only Pokémon not in an egg group are "baby" Pokémon, most [[OlympusMons Legendary Pokémon]], and three others, two of which (Nidorina and Nidoqueen) are confirmed to be sterile by a [[NoExportForYou Japanese-exclusive]] official Pokédex, with the last being Unown. The resulting baby will normally be of the mother's species, but may inherit moves from the father. The shapeshifting Pokémon Ditto is a special case, as it has no gender but it can breed with anyone to produce a new baby of the other Pokémon, allowing you to (for instance) get eggs from non-gendered or [[OneGenderRace male-only]] Pokémon.
** The series as a whole provides an [[ExaggeratedTrope extreme]] example with the TropeNamer: Skitty is a two-foot tall housecat-like Mon, and Wailord is a forty-seven-foot long ''whale''. Yet because the game places both of them in compatible breeding groups, a player can pair them up and produce viable offspring of either gender. (Bulbapedia, the largest [[TheWikiRule Pokémon wiki]], even describes the term's etymology [[http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Appendix:Fan_terminology#HSOWA in further depth]] for those interested.) Sadly, of all the Pokémon that a Wailord can breed with, for some reason, it is unable to breed with [[Main/GiantEnemyCrab a Kingler]]. If [[WesternAnimation/SpongebobSquarepants SpongeBob SquarePants]] has taught us anything, that should be very possible.
** As of the [[VideoGame/PokemonXAndY sixth generation]], Wailord can breed with Dedenne, a mouse Pokémon that stands at a measly 8 inches (20.32 cm) tall. Made all the worse by Wailord's 48 foot (14.63 m) length...
** Bizarrely, Ditto can breed with Porygon and its evolutions, despite the fact that Porygon is a sentient computer program Pokemon. Does Ditto just copy and paste Porygon's data to create more of them?
** Especially odd are the kind of pairings one needs for some of the more complicated breeding chains. One chain for Ursaring (a bear) includes Heracross (a giant bug), Paras (an insect with a mushroom on its back), Chikorita (a stubby little green sauropod with a leaf growing out of its head), and Rhyhorn (a rhinoceros with rock armor plates). And, of course, you can have as the final pairing Teddiursa (which, as the name suggests, is a cute little teddy bear) and Rhydon (a huge bipedal rhino).
** Gardevoir's family appears human-like, but until ''VideoGame/PokemonSwordAndShield'', it wasn't in the "Human-like" egg group, only "Amorphous". This means it can breed with Pokémon such as Muk (a pile of toxic sludge) and Slugma (a blob of boiling lava). A Gardevoir breeding with any of these Pokémon without falling deathly ill or suffering third-degree burns should be logically impossible. Maybe Gardevoir makes use of its {{Psychic Power}}s to protect itself from harm before engaging in such breeding?
** Taken [[ExaggeratedTrope up to eleven]] with the pairing of [[BelligerentSexualTension Zangoose and Seviper]][[note]]who are sworn nemeses to each other down to their DNA, but are both in the "Field" Egg Group[[/note]], and the pairing of [[InLoveWithTheMark Mareanie and Corsola]][[note]]the former and its evolution being the natural predator of the latter, yet they are all in the "Water 1" Egg Group[[/note]].
** Of course, even in-game, Pokémon reproduction is very much a mystery. Several [=NPCs=] you speak to around a Pokémon Daycare center will tell you that no human has ''ever'' actually seen two Pokémon mating or Pokémon laying eggs. Apparently, it's such a mystery that '''they're not even sure whether eggs come from Pokémon in the first place.''' The egg somehow appears with them if you put two compatible Pokémon together; however they do it, they always manage to do so when nobody is watching. Justified, because depicting the breeding system in any other way would probably cause the games to venture into [[CensorshipBureau dangerous territory.]]

If the result of this unholy union isn't a HalfHumanHybrid or some variety of MixAndMatchCritter, then GenderEqualsBreed may very well apply, with the offspring being strictly one of its parent species. It’s also possible that the child [[RandomSpeciesOffspring is a completely different species from each of their parents.]]

* The races of Medius from ''Webcomic/SlightlyDamned'' are all able to breed with each other to make hybrid offspring that are usually but not always sterile and have features of both parents, called mixlings or bitzas. This is surprising because several of the races (possibly all of them except humans, and including jakkai despite looking mammalian) reproduce by laying eggs. It also is weird when you learn than merfolk in this setting are based on sea slugs rather than fish, and the fact that fairies appear to be too small to breed with other races. The page on the comic's website that explains this has a drawing of a cross between a fairy and a khamega (who resemble giant bipedal turtles). It is unknown if the same rules apply to angels and demons (also egg layers), who aren't native to Medius. One character expresses interest in seeing what Buwaro's (fire demon) and Kieri's (water angel) theoretical child would look if it is possible. It also is not clear if the different elemental types of angels and demons are considered different races and if they can breed if not. While angels of different elements are only distinguishable by what colors they wear, demons of different elements have major differences.
** [[PhysicalGod The twelve divine guardian animals]] are also able to breed with the races of Medius, although they can each turn into one of the races so it's more justified. [[spoiler:This is an important plot point. It has been heavily implied that the reason why Rhea was killed in the beginning of the story is because she is descended from one of the guardians, because the villain's plan involves killing the guardians and anyone descended from them.]] Heathcliff Sinclair may also be descended from one of the guardians, but denies it.

* ''WesternAnimation/RickAndMorty'' had a failed attempt at this when Vindicators [[CelestialBody Supernova]] (a Starfire parody who's the physical embodiment of a dying star) and [[TheWormThatWalks 1-Million Ants]] (a sentient ant colony in a vaguely humanoid shape) had an affair that managed to result in a pregnancy, only for said offspring to die in the womb due to being "Half collapsing star and half ant colony".

* In the {{Distant Finale}} of [[WesternAnimation/{{Amphibia}} Amphibia]], it is revealed that [[spoiler: [[HorseOfADifferentColor Bessie]], a snail, and [[GiantFlyer Joe Sparrow]], a [[SpeciesSurname sparrow]], mated and had [[MixAndMatchCritters a few snail/sparrow hybrids called “snirds.]]”]]

* In ''WesternAnimation/TheAmazingWorldOfGumball'', InterspeciesRomance is quite regular in Elmore, and the children can be either parents' species. Some of these pairings are rather strange (the main character is a cat who loves a fairy) or problematic (one student is a cactus in love with a balloon, who she's in constant danger of popping). A few very much beg the question of mechanical possibility: Jamie's dad is a small green humanoid, but her mom is a cube more than two meters to each side. Even stranger, [[OurGiantsAreBigger Hector's]] mom is a witch much smaller than a human while his father is a giant said to be so huge people get lost in his ''belly-button''. [[FridgeHorror It must have been really, really painful getting getting the baby in and out.]]

* ''WesternAnimation/TheLegendOfKorra'': In keeping with the fandom's propensity for [[CrackPairing shipping anything that moves]], there is a small amount of fan-produced media slashing Naga and Pabu, or human versions thereof.

* ''WesternAnimation/StevenUniverse'' fans enjoy playing up Greg's HasAType for {{Statuesque Stunner}}s to its final conclusion by having him successfully romancing [[AttackOfTheFiftyFootWhatever Blue and Yellow Diamond]]. And unlike Pink Diamond (whom was shapeshifted to only being 8 ft at the time), it's implied (in SFW works) or explicitly shown (in NSFW works) that they stay at full size for the coupling. And they not only enjoy it, but Steven is sometimes shown to have two siblings from the pairings.

* Averted to a degree in the ''WesternAnimation/ChipNDaleRescueRangers'' fancomic, ''Webcomic/OfMiceAndMayhem''. During the prologue, Chip acknowledges his feelings for Gadget, but refuses to act on them, because he believes she will one day want to have children, which wouldn't be an option for them since he's a chipmunk and she's a mouse. This is later worked around, as a previous gene splice between Dale and Gadget left Gadget the ability to mate with chipmunks.

* Many fanfictions in ''{{Transformers}}'' have involved human readers somehow managing to breed with the cybertronians. They usually involve a female human reader being impregnated with a cybertronian sparkling, but human/cybertronian hybrids have been created in some works as well.

** "[[Recap/FamilyGuyS12E7IntoHarmonysWay Into Harmony's Way]]" featured a parody of ''WesternAnimation/MuppetBabies'', but rather it being about [[SpinoffBabies the Muppets as babies]], it is about babies of the Muppets, showing Kermit and Miss Piggy's son "Kermie Jr.", a disgusting half-frog half-pig hybrid begging to be killed.
** "[[Recap/FamilyGuyS13E12StewieIsEnceinte Stewie Is Enceinte]]" has Stweie impregnate himself with Brian's DNA and give birth to a litter of deformed human-dog hybrid babies.
