Interspecies Romance/Video Games

""We've got to help, Delphi. Yes, she may be different to us - slightly taller and a diffrent colour - but I love her, you hear me, I love this woman!""
 * Agarest Senki has five different human/non-human matchups across the four generations, and the fifth generation can choose one of the girls not chosen in a past generation. As said romances consist of a Syrium (an elf-like race), a neocollom (kitsune) with god's blood on her mother's side of the family, two elven hybrid sisters (half High Elf, half Dark Elf), and a Featherfolk (angel-like Winged Humanoid), this isn't as improbable as it may sound. There's also teasings of a homosexual version; the hermaphroditic god Deeth flirts with Dyshana in female form and gets hit on by Thoma after she mentions she should have shown up in male form. Both Dyshana and Thoma are human.
 * Mass Effect, being a work of the 2010's and being aimed at a mature audience has a lot of this:
 * Asari are an all female race that reproduces by exchanging DNA with any other humanoid people, regardless of species or gender. Two asari having a daughter together gets rather looked down upon in their society.
 * The highly publicized alien-human lesbian sex scene from the first game. You get the romance subplot with the same alien NPC even if you're male, as she's bisexual. But that was nowhere near as publicized.
 * The second game continues the tradition. In fact, more aliens than humans are romanceable in ME2.
 * There's even an asari option in the sequel with
 * There's also an asari bartender with a krogan "father"; as well as several asari-salarian NPC's.
 * The same asari bartender also counts off "Turian, Elcor, Hanar" as her former lovers, and tops it off by saying "even had a pureblood daughter." (See below)
 * The Game Seller is also overheard mentioning an Asari/Hanar hentai game from a section of the Citadel.
 * It's not just asari, either. Humans and quarians also seem fairly popular with other races. You get to see a turian hitting on a quarian.
 * Mordin mentions in passing that he's gotten a surprising number of passes from other species... But then he's Mordin so that may not count.
 * In ME2, the ships scientist Mordin talks a lot about interspecies sex. He even gives you The Talk of the... biological implications of such romance. He notes that chafing will result and recommends you not to *cough* ...ingest.
 * He also mentions that Salarians like himself are considered as quite attractive by certain unlikely species.
 * And one time you visit him, he tells you he's currently busy with dealing with an outbreak of a sexually transmitted disease, that is only present in varren. "Implications unpleasant."
 * Also, after completing a certain quest line on the krogan homeworld EDI will inform you that "We have recieved several breeding requests for Grunt... and one for Shepard."
 * There's also a human magazine named Fornax, which features asari, hanar, drell, quarian, batarian and volus models. It has a monthly production run of 127 million and features five-sensory stimulation.
 * Yeoman Chambers also makes no secret of her attraction to many alien species.
 * A widely popular in-universe film called Fleet and Flotilla is about a turian and quarian pairing. This gets mentioned in Mass Effect 2 by a turian who's very transparently hitting on his quarian friend.
 * If Shepard doesn't romance either Garrus or Tali and both survive to Mass Effect 3, they end up together. Both are apparently fans of the aforementioned movie, humorously enough.
 * Curiously, interspecies couples became significantly more prevalent in background scenes as the series continues, especially in Mass Effect 3, which has seemingly more of them than same-species ones. Such is life during an Alien Invasion -- as Joker points out, people have a lot more to worry about than a little public disapproval.
 * BioWare also preceded this one with the Gay Option in Knights of the Old Republic. Juhani is of a felinoid alien species called the Cathar. It's also heavily implied that she and a female human Padawan were a bit more than just friends.
 * The Brotherhood of Shadow mod also has . It's a surprisingly sweet note in a very frightening mod.
 * In Knights of the Old Republic 2, both romance options for a Male Exile are Human Aliens - the Handmaiden is an Echani while Visas is a Miraluka.
 * In The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind, IV: Oblivion, and V: Skyrim there exists a play called The Lusty Argonian Maid where an Imperial (normal human) and an Argonian (lizard person) were about to... get it on. Skyrim even introduces a sequel.
 * Similarly, one of the chapters in The Real Barenziah, a story in II: Daggerfall, includes the titular Barenziah (a Dunmer) and Therris (a Khajiit) getting together for some lovin'. The books are also in Morrowind and Oblivion, although the version present in both is censored by the Tribunal Temple. Barenziah also had an affair with the human Emperor Tiber Septim, and (according to the book) became pregnant by him.
 * Another book in Morrowind was actually a scholarly tome on the subject of inter-species mating. It stated that all human and Elven species can and do interbreed, with reduced but still possible chances of offspring. Indeed that's how the Breton came to exist. It notes that although there are tales of human or elf having children with the other races, there are no confirmed reports (Oblivion confirms via first-hand evidence that at least Orcs, who are changed elves, can have children with humans (and presumably other elves). ).
 * The Last Scabbard of Akrash, like The Real Barenziah, features a consummated Khajiiti-Dunmer romance, although with less detail. The world's backstory also includes a number of alleged Tsaesci ('vampire'-snake-people) - Breton relationships, although the books documenting such are considered propaganda in-game.
 * Let's not forget that the only Romance Sidequest for any male character in Morrowind is a Khajiit woman. She's not picky, of course.
 * In Skyrim, your own male Dragonborn character can get married to people of any race, except for Bosmer and Khajiit, making this trope easily doable. Female Dragonborn are slightly more restricted, with no Redguard or Altmer candidates to choose from, but otherwise are also unrestricted.
 * Princess Elise, the human princess of a Fantasy Counterpart Culture version of Italy had a one-sided romance with Sonic throughout |Sonic the Hedgehog 2006.
 * Of course, in the series proper, you also have Femme Fatale Rouge (a Bat), who is officially claimed to have a crush on Knuckles (an Echidna) with additionally flirtatious advances on most of the male cast, Dr. Eggman included.
 * It's also sort of hinted in Sonic Rush Series that Sonic and Blaze the Cat may have a thing for each other. Both are also capable of going into a Super Form.
 * And in the SatAM continuity, Sonic's girlfriend is half chipmunk, half squirrel. In the comics, he seems to have built an Unwanted Harem including other animal characters. In both the Sonic the Hedgehog cartoon and the Archie Comics, he also competed with Antoine (coyote) for Sally's affections -- in the comics, this stopped after Antoine became an Official Couple with Bunnie Rabbot (Hollywood Cyborg rabbit), who first showed a brief hint of having a thing for the cowardly pseudo-French coyote in one episode of the cartoon. And in both canons, Bunnie's attitude towards Sonic, particularly before hooking up with Antoine, could be taken as flirtatious, what with her frequent reference to him as "sugah hog". Or the fact that, at one point in her introduction in the comics, she actually playfully pokes Sonic in the nose, tells him he's cute, and asks him his name.
 * Tails (fox, albeit a slightly mutated one) and Cosmo (Seedrian - a species evolved from plants) in Sonic X is another example of this. Fans also seem to like pairing him with Marine (a Raccoon), and Cream (a Rabbit).
 * In Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog, Sonic falls head-over-heels over Breezie, a female hedgehog in a red cocktail dress who turns out to be a robot. Robotnik also builds himself a robot wife in one episode.
 * This is logically where Fang the Sniper (part Weasel, part Wolf) came from.
 * Star FOX 64 has Katt, which seems to have a thing for Falco (can you guess their race?). However, later romances in the series all stick to same species, as far as a blue vixen and a normal colored fox can be of the same species. According to one of Commands endings, no problemo.
 * However, according to other Command endings, Krystal winds up with Panther, a... well, you figure it out.
 * And of course this "Not safe for humanity" (and thus by implication work as well) strip from VG Cats.
 * Or the "Not safe for humanity" implications given in Super Smash Bros.. Brawl.
 * Pretty much any Dungeons & Dragons-based game (see below) that has any sort of romantic capability will have Interspecies Romance. It's almost blasé in D&D, though some settings make a point of having a xenophobic nation or two - almost always evil or at least repressive to take the moral of the concept from plain obvious to Anvilicious.
 * For a more old-school reference, there is a sex scene between the Captain and Talana in Star Control 2. It is almost a But Thou Must! although if you refuse enough you can skip it.
 * There is also Admiral ZEX, who there is not a (canon, at least) sex scene with, despite the fact that he has a very clear interest in the Captain. This is partly because of the fact that he's male and partly because, unlike Talana, he looks nothing like a human.
 * Breath of Fire, as more or less the Furry Fandom in video game format, is full of examples.
 * Breath of Fire I features the neighboring villages of Tantar and Tuntar, one of which is populated entirely by humans and the other is populated entirely by the "forest clan," people who look like this. The two villages get along incredibly well, and in fact, when the player first arrives, both are celebrating the fact that the first forest clan/human marriage is about to take place. And it does, though you have to do a bit of a Fetch Quest to save both villages from an imminent threat before the actual wedding. (Forest clan male/human female, if anyone was curious.)
 * A cutscene in Breath of Fire II retroactively reveals that That's why the bird clan in Breath of Fire II can't shapeshift without a special irreversible ritual, whereas they could go back and forth at will in Breath of Fire I. Much less extreme than the first example, since the clans in question are both basically human with some magical traits added.
 * The Bird Clan seems to love the species so much, that, by the time of Breath of Fire III, the entire clan have essentially lost their wings, becoming boring old humans. Making the hero and heroine of every Breath of Fire game Ryu of the Dragon Clan and Nina of the Bird Clan doesn't help matters either.
 * Also in Breath of Fire II, both that generation's Nina (a winged human), and Katt (a half-furry catgirl) develop crushes for Ryu. Ryu's friend Bow (an antrhopomorphic bulldog) has a thing for Nina's sister Mina (also a winged human). Sten (a monkey man) tries to blackmail Nina (and later Katt) into a date. And hell, even Ryu's own parents are an interspecies couple (a human and a dragon).
 * Rand's mother Daisy in Breath of Fire II is of...somewhat debatable race, looking more or less like a human, though slightly larger. Whatever she is, though, she looks absolutely nothing like her very obviously armadillo son, which raises certain questions about his unseen father. Although, to be fair, the female representatives of some races (including Rand's race) tend to look much more human than the males.
 * Breath of Fire III teases Slap Slap Kiss-style UST between Momo (technically a dog, though the degree of anthropomorphism is so far toward human and the ears look so much more rabbit-like than dog-like that she more like a bunny-girl than anything else) and Rei (weretiger) from time to time.
 * Bleu/Deis, a somewhat perverted lamia-like snakewoman, who hits on the different Ryus throughout the entire series.
 * Final Fantasy IV, were sired by Kluya, a Lunarian (that is, an alien from a very, very distant world, who eventually settled on a moon orbiting the game's planet,) from a human mother.  goes on to have children of his own, again with a human mother.
 * Final Fantasy VI, Terra is the daughter of Madonna/Madeline, a human girl, and Maduin, a satyr/Gigas Esper. She eventually gains the ability to turn into an Esper-like humanoid herself.
 * Final Fantasy VII, Aerith, the last Cetra, is the daughter of a human scientist named Gast, and a Cetra woman named Ifalna. Of course, the Ancients are almost entirely human themselves, so there's really not much of an issue here, until Hojo comes along and tries to mate Aerith with Red XIII, a huge talking wolf/lion that is another Last Of His Kind. There's no indication that Hojo's idea would have actually worked, though. According to the Compilation, there was at least one more, female, member of Red XIII's race, who had been his mate before he was captured by Shinra.
 * In Final Fantasy IX, were Summoners, apparently a different species from normal people, since they were born with horns. Also, Zidane's not entirely human either -- obvious from the start since he has a tail, but this turns out to be more than a cosmetic quirk. And then there was the Vivi/Quina marriage, which involved a techno-magical construct and an ambiguously gendered giant frog thing.
 * In Final Fantasy Legend, not only does this occur, but it's so common that nobody bats an eyelash about King Armor (human, or close to it) falling in love with a girl that uses the same sprite as beholders and slimes!
 * Hinted at in RuneScape between the main character and Zanik the Cave Goblin. But whether this Shipping is wrong or sweet is up in the air for debate.
 * In Final Fantasy X, villain Seymour has (or had) a Guado father and a human mother.
 * Final Fantasy XI, being an MMO with five humanoid races and all, is bound to have plenty of romance, found both in the player base and story lore. The tragic romance between Raogrimm, a Galka, and Cornelia, a Hume, became the catalyst of war. The main character of Wings of the Goddess, Lilisette, is apparently the offspring of an Elvaan and a Hume, in a game where cross-breeds were never mentioned before. Also, one cannot deny the massive amounts of Tarutaru x Mithra doujin...
 * Final Fantasy XII has a little shipteasing between Fran and Balthier, particularly in the Pharos after . Revenant Wings expands on this - when Tomaj attempts to romance Fran, she tells him Balthier's methods were different.
 * Also, there is a sidequest in Rabanastre in which you can pair a Viera up with a Hume. The Hume tells the party that he wouldn't have imagined a Viera/Hume pairing could work until he saw Balthier and Fran.
 * Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles has a half Lilty/Clavat princess (disguising herself as a half Lilty/Selkie, which seems to go unnoticed) in the first game, and the Lilty princess from Crystal Bearers seemingly having a crush on the Clavat Player Character.
 * Fire Emblem: Blazing Sword,  is a possible mate for the human hero Eliwood. Don't forget
 * Interspecies Romance between Beorcs (Humans by Any Other Name) and Laguz (humans who can shapeshift into animals) is all over the place in Path of Radiance and Radiant Dawn. In fact, some of these romances are either directly or indirectly responsible for most, if not all of the events in the two games. Though in this its somewhat Justified as
 * In Fire Emblem Akaneia, Cute Monster Girl dragon Tiki (who has the looks of a 13-year-old girl) crushes on The Hero Marth.
 * In Fire Emblem: Awakening, Nono and Velvet are potential wives for the majority of the male characters, and are of the Manakete and Taguel races, respectively. The aforementioned Tiki also makes an appearance as an adult, but will only marry the player's character.
 * The Nippon Ichi-verse contains several examples:
 * Laharl from Disgaea is the offspring of a Human and a Demon.
 * Possibly paired up with Flonne, an Angel.
 * Salome (human, possibly) and Zetta (demon, but also in heavy denial) from Makai Kingdom -- of course, Salome probably doesn't count as human any longer, what with having become an overlord and all.
 * Adell (human) and Rozalin (demon) from Disgaea 2. Both in very heavy denial.
 * Nereids in Soul Nomad and The World Eaters mate with humans. Since they're an all female race incapable of parthenogenesis, it's required for their survival.
 * Older Than They Think. The Nereids in Greek Mythology were the fifty daughters of a lesser sea god. They were fond of helping distressed sailors.
 * Also possible between humans and Sepps (see Endorph ending). Might happen between Revya and Danette in the future after the Danette (male) ending. See Victorious Childhood Friend.
 * Sepp/human pairings may actually be quite common. One NPC in the game claims to be half human half sepp, Levin (sepp) has a crush on Tricia and may also hook up with Revya (if female) in the Levin-ending. Female Revya can also hook up with Gig, the God of Death in one ending.
 * Heaping helpings of UST between Sly Cooper (thieving raccoon) and Carmelita Fox (police..um..fox). And watch where Penelope's heart wanders to in the third game.
 * The Warcraft series has a few of these, as early as Warcraft 1: Orcs and Humans there was Griselda and Turok, a female orc and male ogre respectively, Warcraft 3 reveals these couplings produce Mok'nathal (ogre-orc). Less extreme there have been the inevitable human male/Female elf pairing as with Alleria Windrunner and Turalyon (human), as well as Veressa Windrunner and Rhonin (same combo). There's at least two orc/draenei couples, . It's also hinted that Kael'Thas (yet another high elf) had a crush on Jaina Proudmoore (human), and furthermore, many people speculate that Jaina has a romantic relationship with Thrall (orc).
 * PG-rated example, in Undertale, assuming you don't kill them, the Human Child can date Papyrus (skeleton) and/or Undyne (fish woman). Finish the game with the Neutral Ending, and on the next run-through,
 * World of Warcraft:
 * Marvin and Tamara Wobblesprocket, who are a married couple. The former is a tiny gnome, and the latter is a human.
 * Archaeologist Adamant Ironheart (Dwarf) and Priestess Kyleen Il'dinare (Night Elf) seem to have something going on, too. At least, she doesn't mind him calling her "darling".
 * The Troll Zebu'tan is forever trying to woo the Blood Elf Alys Vol'tyr. She isn't very receptive to his advances, but her dialogue makes it pretty clear that it has little to do with his species; she doesn't want him because she's spoken for and he's a creep.
 * World of Warcraft has several "Steamy Romance Novels" that can be pickpocketed from NPC humanoids. One of these describes a romance between a male human paladin and a female undead rogue. Other books in the series describes a romance between the same paladin and a female gnome warlock, a female gnome, female goblin (possibly just dated her), two female blood elves, and a female draeni. There's also Anveena and Kalecgos (a blue dragon). Possibly also Tyrygosa and Jorad Mace.
 * Interspecies marriage between roleplaying PCs is not unheard of. And we'll just stay out of the realm of Fan Art and doujins for the sake of sanity.
 * Snivel Rustrocket is a goblin NPC who plays a role in the Love is in the Air event. At first he seems like a Kavorka Man version of this Trope, with both a human and orc girlfriend. However, he truly cares for neither of them, getting close to them simply to have a reason to be in Stormwind and Orgrimmar as he's doing freelance work for the Crown Chemical Company. It's even hinted he used a Love Potion on them.
 * Star-Crossed Lovers example, Sapphronetta "Saffy" Flivvers (gnome) and Grizzek Fizzwrench (goblin). Originally enemies of a Dating Catwoman type, they eventually married, a dangerous situation as neither their people nor either faction would approve. When the player discovers this, they offer an robotic parrot called Feathers in exchange for the player telling his superior that he killed them.
 * Ever play the classic arcade game Joust? When you destroy one of the vulture riders, the vulture lays an egg that you must collect to complete the round. If it is allowed to hatch, an enemy human emerges, and a new flying steed comes in to pick him up. The question is, why does this happen? An explanation comes to mind...
 * Tales of Rebirth has a gajuma(beastmen) princess loves a huma(human) general seems one-sided
 * Tales of Symphonia gives us several pairings between humans and elves. Pairings between angels and humans
 * Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World gives us not one but two canon inter-species pairings:, though the former eventually can live out their lives as humans and the latter is one sided.
 * In The Sims you can sleep with robots, zombies, vampires, plant-creatures, aliens, werewolves, etc.
 * Mega Man Zero 4 introduced two characters, Neige (human) and Craft (Reploid). The latter even explicitly stated that he fell in love with her, and their romance is a very important turning point in the game!
 * Also, don't get me started on the tons of hints concerning Ciel's feelings for The Hero Zero. And not just in the main medium, in fact...
 * In one of the games in the Zero series, there is an NPC that looks like an old man - despite being a Reploid. Years ago he fell in love with a human girl and married her. As she grew older he had his appearance modified to match her age. When she finally succumbed to old age, he chose to keep his elderly form as a way to remember her.
 * Devil May Cry has Sparda, a devil, take on a human bride, Eva, begetting Dante and Vergil in the background stories.
 * Earthworm Jim, whose name speaks for itself, has a huge crush on Princess What's-Her-Name, who is a humanoid insect. On the other hand, if they're really all cows then this trope is averted.
 * Ar tonelico: a part-RPG, part-dating sim whose dating sim aspects revolve entirely around relationships between humans and Reyvateils - an all-female race of magical girls whose ancestors were artificial intelligences created from scratch using alchemy. You can also date said at least one of said ancestors, who's immortal and still around.
 * The first Parappa the Rapper game contains the heart-warming plot of an anthropomorphic dog trying to romance an anthropomorphic sunflower. (Which brings up some rather interesting questions about their sex life.)
 * In The Legend of Zelda franchise, Link is a virtual Chick Magnet:
 * The Legend of Zelda the Wind Waker, a girl named Maggie asks you to deliver a love-letter to her love at the Forsaken Fortress. As it turns out, the person she met and fell in love with while being held captive there is actually a Moblin.
 * Moe is torn between wanting to return the affection and wanting to eat Maggie.
 * The The Legend of Zelda Oracle Games have a good dose of this, too. In Seasons, Link (Hylian) dates the Subrosian pop star Rosa. In Ages, Link gets propositioned by the Maku Tree, and Queen Ambi (human) pines for...the undead Piratian Captain. And apparently it runs in Ambi's family; her descendant Ralph is possibly romantic with Nayru, who appears to be a Hylian.
 * In the manga adaptation of the Oracle games, Ralph is definitely sweet on Nayru, and Link's pet chicken Piyoko has it bad for Link.
 * Don't forget Link's Accidental Marriage to Princess Ruto in The Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time. While she does let him off the hook due to the "Sage of Water/Hero of Time" thing, she really did want to go through with it. Also, in The Legend of Zelda Majoras Mask, the girl who runs the "Treasure Box Maze" game will flirt with you when you're wearing the Zora Mask.
 * Then there's the pretty blatant hinting at something between Link and Midna in The Legend of Zelda Twilight Princess,.
 * In The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, Mipha - a Zora - also has strong feelings for Link, going so far as to have designed a set of armor specifically for him.
 * Shiki and Arcueid are even the Official Couple. It seems to be a much bigger deal in story than out of it. There's only been one child before this from between a True Ancestor and a human.
 * Crow, the heroine's bird companion from The Longest Journey, claims he's made advances to female birds of multiple species, although it's not clear if his efforts were successful or if he's just making it up.
 * Pokémon, mentioned above in the anime section, gets another mention here due to the prevalence of Improbable Species Compatibility, which appears more readily in the games than the anime.
 * Pokémon are technically one species from a biological standpoint, of course. Skitty and Wailord can breed and produce fertile offspring, and as such are technically no more distantly related than a chihuahua and a grey wolf.
 * However, according to the definition of "species" in the Pokédex, female and male Nidorans are different species. This was due to limitations in the older Game Boy games because Pokemon originally didn't have genders.
 * According to Sinnoh legend in the English version of Diamond/Pearl/Pt, at one point, humans and Pokémon "ate together at one table". This is a Bowdlerization of the original Japanese line that explicitly states marriage occured between the two. One of the egg groups is called "Humanshape"...
 * In HeartGold and SoulSilver, the first Pokémon in your party follows you around, and you can talk to it to check its Happiness rating. If a Pokémon's happiness is extremely high, it can exhibit signs of having a crush on its trainer. Yes, even if it's the same gender.
 * Game Freaks' (of Pokémon fame) Mega Drive game Pulseman tells of the titular character being the offspring of a man and an AI. Yes, man and machine had a baby. By combining his DNA and her program core, when he digitised himself inside her.
 * Most of Ratchet's Girls of the Week in the Ratchet and Clank series qualify. Justified as he is The Last of His Kind, although many of them at least seem related to the Lombax. For a slightly more brain-damaging version, there's an amnesiac Captain Qwark apparently once hooking up with a monkey. (This revelation is, naturally, treated as Too Much Information).
 * In Quest For Booty, robot pirate Rusty Pete mentions that he once woke up spooning a Kerchu (an ill-tempered alien that looks something like a 3-foot mutant hamster) after a really wild night. The rest is, unfortunately, left to our imagination.
 * In Okami, the Ship Tease between Ammy and Issun kicks to high gear minutes prior to entering the Final Dungeon, with some very suggestive lines from Issun. Keep in mind, Issun is a wood sprite roughly the size of a person's hand and Ammy is the sun goddess in wolf form.
 * And keep in mind that according to Japanese mythology Ammy was the first emperor's great-grandmother.
 * Sort of. She didn't give birth to any children, and it was more of an Athena from Zeus's head sort of thing, except even more abstract. Jimmu's grandfather sprouted from her jewelry, along with four other demigods.
 * There's also the matter of how her son Chibiterasu from Okamiden came to be, despite that it's implied the only ones left alive on the celestial plains are the celestials (Something close to humanoid angels) and Wakka.
 * In Mana Khemia one of the human  protagonist's possible love interests is a catfolk named Nikki, and if you manage to get her ending, not only do they get married, but they also have kids.
 * In the Lunar series we have Jessica, a half-beastperson and Kyle, a human in Silver Star and Ronfar, a human, and Mauri, a beastperson, in Eternal Blue. Not too sure if Alex and Luna could count because is human and goddess-reincarnated-as-a-human really Interspecies Romance? We're not sure about Hiro/Lucia, for that matter.
 * It probably would since she seems to still have all of her goddess powers. Since gods look like humans its hard to tell how "human" she is compare to how she orginally was.
 * This isn't very common in the Super Mario Bros. series, aside from dragon-turtle Bowser's one-sided crush on humanlike Peach. Still, there are two such romantic pairings in the RPGs, and both involve a Koopa (turtle) and a Boo (ghost). Such a pair were two of the four heroes in the backstory of Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, and another couple can be found doting on each other in Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story. Given the general lack of Interspecies Romance in the series, it's odd that the ghost-in-the-shell idea is so popular.
 * Actually, pretty much all of the girls in Thousand Year Door seem to like Mario. All four of his female party members (a Goomba, a talking cloud, a shadow siren, and a mouse) give him a kiss on his cheek at one point.
 * TEC (a computer) is crushing on Peach (human). In a slight real life example, many, MANY fans are attracted to Vivian, who is some kind of shadow monster. And may or may not be a cross-dresser, depending on the version. In Japan and Europe, he is a cross-dressing Bishonen boy. (Spain disagrees.) In America, she is a full-fledged girl.
 * Giants: Citizen Kabuto: Baz and Delphi here


 * Rogue Galaxy have Deego (big bulldog person) and Angela (the not-quite-elf).
 * Gish has a titular protagonist resquing his human girlfriend. And in a good ending they have even get married. In the mobile phone port, they even have children.
 * In Dragon Age, none of the party members you can pursue a romance with (consisting of three humans and a male elf) care what race the player character is, be he or she a human, elf, or dwarf. However, if a dwarf, the romantic interlude is as awkward as one might expect.
 * In fact, it's outright stated that humans and elves can have children together, but they will always be human (or at least resemble humans).
 * We do get to see a half-elf in Dragon Age 2, he looks like a slightly-built human with vaguely pointed ears.
 * Dragon Age 2 has an always-human player character, which is a slight sticking point for Merrill, who has elf-supremacist tendencies.
 * Also, Isabela admits to having slept with a "dwarf in drag", but doesn't recommend it. She also flirts with Varric.
 * Mask of the Betrayer has Gannayev, the product of an interspecies romance (night hag/human) as a romance option for female PCs. He has no objections based on species either. Neither does Safiya, a human, if the male character is a non-human.
 * In Brutal Legend, this is how
 * In the art book for Phantasy Star IV, there's a bit of information about what happened to the heroes after the events of the game; Chaz apparently dies of illness sometime before he's thirty, leaving Rika, who has since become a guild hunter, to care for their young son, Rui, by herself.
 * In one of the more recent Harvest Moon games, Animal Parade, either gender of player character can choose a god or mage as their Love Interest. In the latter case, the Witch and Wizard don't seem particularly nonhuman, but there is at least one moment where the Witch makes a point of referring to the main character as a human.
 * A better example is the Harvest Goddess and Harvest Lord in Animal Parade. A Harvest Goddess is available for marriage in Mineral Town, DS, and Hero of Leaf Valley. Before Animal Parade, what did female players get? A Kappa.
 * Harvest Moon DS even added a mermaid for you to marry. Yes, a mermaid.
 * In Rune Factory 3, the main character's parents (although you never actually see them) were a human and a wooly (sheep-like monster). Two of your possible love interests are Kuruna (an univir, a magical horned humanoid) and Pia (a mermaid). Another girl, Raven, is half-human, half-phoenix. Plus there's Gaia's (who is a dwarf) crush on Evelyn (a human).
 * There's also Rune Factory: Frontier, where two of your love interests are Tabatha, an elf, and Iris, a vampire (it would seem vampires in this universe are a separate species, rather than being undead).
 * A strange example is found in Magna Carta 2, where Celestine falls in love with Argo at first sight. Everyone but Celestine finds it all... Awkward since Argo's a massive creature who looks like a mix between a Dragon and a Hawk. He does eventually warm up to her however.
 * In the Jak and Daxter series, Tess went from finding Daxter adorable in Jak II to falling in love with him between then and Jak 3. Thankfully, they don't actually do anything.
 * The implied pairing in Klonoa is between Klonoa (cat-rabbit looking creature) and his friend Lolo (a humanoid girl with a cat tail.)
 * In one of Telltale's Sam & Max games, Momma Bosco (human) develops a serious but one-sided crush on Max (hyperkinetic rabbity thing).
 * Not to mention Sybil marrying the giant robotic Lincoln Memorial.
 * Strange Journey makes fun of this: whenever Anthony falls in love with a demon, it either despises him for some reason, he chickens out, etc...and every time he tells you he's in love with a demon, the music comes to a dead stop.
 * Your goal in EVO Search for Eden is to guide evolution so that you can eventually shack up with Gaia, the personification of the Earth itself.
 * The closest thing to a healthy romance in the first Drakengard game is the bond that develops between Caim (Ax Crazy human) and Angelus (dragon). In the sequel they get to be.

 * At the ending of the first Shining Force game, it is implied that Mae has a thing for the human player character. Mae is a centaur.
 * Elven Relations allows you to...have relations with an elf in one romance path. In the sequel, there's one elven love interest...and two mermaids to have liaisons with.
 * Ambiguous on whether or not it's truly interspecies, but in the ending of Golden Sun: The Lost Age, a couple of Mars Clan girls (scaly draconic Amazing Technicolor Population) seem romantically interested in Felix, not to mention his Ship Tease moments with Karst. In Golden Sun: Dark Dawn there's some ambiguous Ship Tease between beastgirl Sveta and Silent Protagonist Matthew (and also some subtext between Sveta and Karis). This is to say nothing of Golden Sun's notorious Shipping fandom, who will readily pair up characters and sometimes even inanimate objects that have very little interaction, purely antagonistic interaction, or none at all.
 * Hatoful Boyfriend is a Dating Sim like many others where your character tries to romance cute guys. Only this time, replace "cute guys" with "photo-realistic pigeons".
 * Turns out to be enforced.
 * The dog-people Caninu and cat-people Felineko of Solatorobo are quite capable of having children together. Both ships that are teased to any great length are interspecies.
 * Radiant Historia has a side quest called "Mankind and Beastkind" in which you show a Satyros woman named Liese that the love she shares with a human gatekeeper shouldn't be hindered by the fact that they come from two different species.
 * Your Satyros party member, Aht, has a major crush on the (human) main character, Stocke. He doesn't exactly reciprocate the same feelings, however; not because she's of a different species, but because she's 9.
 * Monster Girl Quest allows relationships between player character Luka and many of the monster girls, though since a primary fetish of the game is female-on-male rape, these aren't exactly consensual. Human-monster and (much more rarely) human-angel couples also occur in the background, . The sequel Monster Girl Quest Paradox expands on the romance aspect by making it possible to recruit almost every character and give them gifts to raise their Relationship Values.
 * The endings of Desire Dungeon involve you hooking up with one of the monster girls.
 * Mortal Kombat has a couple:
 * Liu Kang (human) and Kitana (Edenian) is the most well-known example.
 * Mortal Kombat 11 reveals (via Retcon) that Jade (Edenian) and Kotal Kahn (Osh-Tekk) are lovers.
 * Kabal (human) and Sereena (demon) are Happily Married (with children!) in Kabal's ending to Mortal Kombat 11, although exactly why is a mystery.
 * Erron Black (human) tends to flirt with every female Kombatant in pre-fight dialogue, but the dialogue with Skarlet (demon) suggests he dated her and Nitara (vampire) in the past.
 * Quite a few "Interspecies Crush" situations in Maple Story, where many NPCs who are not human have a crush on the protagonist, although in every case, said protagonist isn't interested.
 * By the same token, Nolyfe (one of The Greys in the Omega Sector is clearly smitten with Jenny, but because the M-Forcers are his species enemy and he is the type who Cannot Spit It Out, it never goes anywhere. He does do the heroes a few favors, though.
