Line 1:

Where would we be without ''[[Dungeons and Dragons]]'' and it's half-whatevers? In fact, since there's a [[Half

* Mommy, where do half-[[Our Elves Are Better|elves]] come from?
Line 17:
* ''[[Dragonlance]]'' is not immune from this trope: the Dragonlance setting features 'Gully Dwarves', allegedly the offspring of gnomes and dwarves. Aside from being a strange combination, Gully Dwarves are incredibly ''stupid'' creatures, depicted as being totally incapable of counting higher than two. Those that ''can'' count higher than two tend to lick beer from tavern floors.
* The changeling race, from the [[Eberron]] campaign setting of ''[[Dungeons and Dragons]]'', are theorized to be descended from the viable offspring of humans and dopplegangers coupling, though this is unconfirmed (various factions have their own varying theories about why, exactly, changelings exist).
* Note that in Standard D&D this is explicitly not the case: Dopplegangers are a [[One
* Shifters or "beastkin" are similarly referred to as being a "mixed race" of lycanthropes and humans, although this, too, is unconfirmed and fiercely denied by shifters who belong to the anti-lycanthropic [[Crystal Dragon Jesus|Church of the Silver Flame]]. (Such shifters insist that they existed first and lycanthropes are an unholy union of humans and shifters.)
** The Fourth Edition ''Monster Manual'' and ''Player's Handbook 2'' do make this the default canon explanation how the shifter race(s) came to be; longtooth shifters are descended from werewolves, razorclaw shifters from weretigers. Both are legitimate choices for player characters.
