Line 56:
* Although the White Witch from the ''[[Chronicles of Narnia]]'' claimed to have at least partial human ancestry, she was actually a hybrid of giant and jinn (genie).
* In one of Christopher Stasheff's books, there's a dracogriff. He's half griffin, half dragon. Unfortunately, this is not quite as awesome as it sounds, since griffins and dragons are bitter enemies and he's hated by both.
* ''[[Alice's Adventures in Wonderland]]''; the Gryphon, obviously, and Alice also meets a Mock Turtle, a turtle with the head, hooves, and tail of a calf. The Queen of Hearts claims mock turtle soup is made from mock turtles, the joke here being that said soup is actually made of veal.

Line 72 ⟶ 73:
** There was an essay exploring the possibility of a vampire werewolf,with one of the major points of contention being whether the undead nature of the vampiric template would override the lycanthrope's shapeshifting ability. Of course this requires the templates to be applied in the proper order, as lycanthropy is a disease and undead are immune to all disease, so a vampire cannot contract lycanthropy.
** And then, of course, there is the [[Narm|dreaded owlbear]].
** One of the strangest examples was the thoul. First appearing in the [[Mystara]] setting, it is a cross between a troll, gnoll, and ghoul. Exactly how two living monsters could be combined with an undead monster to create a living one is something of a mystery; one source suggested it was the result of divine magic through the cult of [[Demon Lords and Archdevils| Yeenoghu]]. Even stranger, unlike most hybrids, a thoul is ''not'' sterile, a male and female thoul can mate to produce young thouls, meaning whoever created the first ones created a race onto itself.
* [[Deadlands]]: Hell On Earth has vampire werewolves in the main handbook.
* ''[[Magic: The Gathering]]'' has Zombie Centaurs. Does more need to be said?
