{{trope}}{{Needs Image}}
* ''[[Dungeons and Denizens]]'' have an offspring between a lich and a medusa, ''[[Grim Tales]]'' has an offspring between the grim reaper (skeleton-style) and a woman.
* Variation in ''[[Misfile]]''. Ash and Rumisiel pretend to be this, which would be Angel/human. However, it's not a real relationship, as Ash only tells her dad the Rumisiel is her boyfriend as an explanation as to why he's living there. Also, none of the humans know he's an angel, except for Ash and Emily.
* The central theme of ''[[Kevin and Kell]]'', although the world of Domain doesn't treat species the same way: the general division is carnivore/herbivore/omnivore (wildcard?)/insectivore. Then again ... Lindesfarne/Fenton and Danielle/George involve {{spoiler|former humans}}.
* Here it comes ... ''[[El Goonish Shive]]''. Tedd (human) and Grace (..um..human/squirrel/alien/another alien hybrid [[Shape Shifter]]). The demonic duck also claims to indulge in this quite often. One of Elliot/Ellen [[Alternate Universe|alternates]] was in a relationship with [[Half-Human Hybrid]] boy, though this one didn't work out well (due to the alien psychophysiology).
** Also note the Uryoms, who are ambisexual, can be attracted to anything thinking and reproduce with anything moving (regardless of species and sex of "DNA sources"), but not in a way as "fun" as the [[Mass Effect|Asari]].
* ''[[Horndog]]'' portrays a number of inter-species romances and sexual encounters, notably dog Bob's open relationship with cat Charlene. [[Mystic Studios Productions|The same publisher]] has another comic called ''[[Here Wolf]]'', in which the title character's girlfriend is a human.
* ''[[Outside Interference]]'' has Hollie [rabbit-person] actively shipping Kate [raccoon-person] and Gina [uncertain species] [[Petting Zoo People]] all around.
** It's not interspecies if Kate, Hollie and the rest of the cast honestly don't have a clue what species Gina is.
* ''[[Ozy and Millie]]'' has very little of this in its past (both leads are revealed as pure descendants of their natural parents, although Ozy is adopted into another home). But then, Ozy's father (dragon) and Millie's mother (fox) get romantically involved, and are now <s> getting</s> married.
* ''[[Las Lindas]]'' has a really good amount of interspecies romance. One such romance is Miles, who's a cat and Taffy, who's a rabbit.
* The titular character of ''[https://web.archive.org/web/20170920182819/http://mandycomics.net/ Mandy]'' has the hots for her owner Jeremy, but obviously can't be open about it, so she resolves to showing it in her own subtle ways.
* ''[[Dominic Deegan]]'': Jayden and Milov Danovich (also human/werewolf).
** Also seems to be leading this way with Kiya (female Orc) and Hansi (normal human) which started [https://web.archive.org/web/20101215072305/http://dominic-deegan.com/view.php?date=2009-05-14 here].
* ''[[Freefall]]'': Florence ([[Uplifted Animal]] wolf) and Winston (human). [http://freefall.purrsia.com/ff500/fv00465.htm They are] [http://freefall.purrsia.com/ff500/fv00469.htm aware of] complications, but end up together anyway.[http://freefall.purrsia.com/ff2000/fc01983.htm And now it lead to a] [[Crowning Moment of Heartwarming]].
* ''[[Tally Road]]'' leans on this trope very heavily, too- working the angle that for most of the cultures involved, this interspecies screwing is both perverse and fairly common. There's literally a cat-house on a wolf planet (or 'Nerre-house' on a 'Runge' planet) and one of the cat ladies argues against getting into kink clients, pointing out that they are not kinky so much as they are exotic and different in the 'Runge' context. Another feline, in a moment of frustration, sighs at being 'judged by shaggy animals', upsetting his wolf companion and giving a tip-off of the cats' unspoken attitudes towards other species.
* Celia and Roy (sylph and human), Nale and Sabine (human and [[Succubus]]) in ''[[Order of the Stick]]''.
** And then there's the "[http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0555.html very ugly backstory]" of Therkla the half-orc ninja (human father and orc mother).
** Meanwhile, Roy's mother is [[I Want Grandkids|happily anticipiating]] the [[Half-Human Hybrid|logical consequences]] of Celia and Roy's romance.
{{quote|"''I want to be able to hear the pitter-patter of little feet -- or the whoosh-whoosh of little wings, as the case may be.''"[http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0600.html\] }}
** At one point Xykon the skeletal lich says "I'm no a disgusting biophiliac, yuck!". [[I Love the Dead|Poor Tsukiko,]] she knows that the undead are all just misunderstood!
* Monette in ''[[Something*Positive]]'', when she was [https://web.archive.org/web/20140109051147/http://somethingpositive.net/sp12312001.shtml trying (unsuccessfully) to put men behind her and find a good woman to settle down with], had a bit of a breakdown [https://web.archive.org/web/20140109043712/http://somethingpositive.net/sp01042002.shtml and ended up getting arrested in a zoo]. The most embarrassing part for her was that the koala was ''still a male'' (mildly [[NSFW]] links).
* Matoya and Bahamut from ''[[8-Bit Theater|8-bit Theater]]'' (Witch/Dragon). This [[Squick|Squicks]] the Light Warriors greatly.
** Dragon GOD
*** Dragon GOD ''KING''. It's a pretty sweet gig.
* ''[[Last Res0rt]]'' features it as a trait of the Celeste to crossbreed between as many species as they can, creating a race that can only be detected by how many wings they happen to have. At least one Celeste's backstory apparently involves a [[Cult of Personality]] centered around him and the many, many women he tricked into having his children. It's Squicky enough before you even throw in the fact that he's a rather large humanoid (albeit with some feline traits tossed in) and the women he brainwashed were all small, furry, feline-esque Talmi.
* ''[[Dan and Mab's Furry Adventures]]'' has about a dozen pages of [http://www.missmab.com/Demo/HG01.php tables] and verbal explanations of possible hybridizations between the various races in its world.
** [http://www.missmab.com/Comics/Vol_598.php The tale of Brian (a being) and Burasi (a dragon)...]
** It's also worth mentioning that Jyrras's parents are a kangaroo and a kangaroo rat who met when an accident in the personal ads department got the K species section mixed up. [http://www.missmab.com/Comics/Vol_328.php Seriously.]
* ''[[Penny Arcade (Webcomic)|Penny Arcade]]'' has [http://www.penny-arcade.com/comic/2007/9/19/ this gem].
** And [http://www.penny-arcade.com/comic/2006/9/29/ this one].
** And [http://www.penny-arcade.com/comic/2011/4/1/ once more, with feeling!]
* ''[[Schlock Mercenary]]'' plays with this with amorph regeneration and reproduction. It doesn't rhyme with "[[Naughty Tentacles|pentacle rex]]", amorphs seem to reproduce asexually and can just study someone's personality traits to produce offspring.
* ''[[Parallel Dementia]]'' has a zombie/human relationship. Squick!
* In ''[[The Inexplicable Adventures of Bob]],'' Bob first met Princess Voluptua and the jellyfish creature Ahem when they were trying to escape an unthinkable [[Arranged Marriage]] to one another. Bob's girlfriend Jean is currently convinced that Bob and Voluptua have feelings for one another, despite the fact that Voluptua's [[Shape Shifter|real form]] is a [[Starfish Aliens|giant insect]] (although her assumed human form is, indeed, ''quite'' attractive).
* ''[[The Cyantian Chronicles]]'': And How!
** Contrary to what this article may make [[The Cyantian Chronicles]] seem like, the requisite majority of couples are same species. Interspecies romance isn't commented on much (in universe) [http://cyantian.net/?p=291save for pairings that result in deformed offspring.] Said pairings are frowned upon because of the suffering the children go through. [http://shivae.org/wiki/index.php?title=Category:Immigrants For more thorough details read this page from the Shivaewiki]
** Chatin and Collin are a Skunk and a Raccoon. (Both genetically engineered from the setting's felines)
** Cesilee and Marcus are an ocelot/puma hybrid and a human, though the relationship is more of Cesilee's obsession with Marcus than anything else. ([[Played for Laughs]])
** The parents of the Cisaan Family are a Tiger and a Rabbit. (Offspring are genetically engineered, which was a first and a massive controversy in universe.)
** Rama's Parents were a wolf and a Liger (Double hit there. Also pertinent to his and Vin's backstory.)
** Chatin and Twinky are technically a Wereskunk (Human Cil Hybrid with Skunk Characteristics) and a genetically engineered strawberry scented skunk.
** Alexandera, adopted human mounty (Mounty = Feline) princess has a mounty (feline) boyfriend. (Alexandera has a few issues.)
** In years past Syrys, a wolf, was in love with Danie, a fox. (Impossible to breed with each other.)
** Vincent's Father is Rama, a wolf/feline hybrid and his mother was a wolf. So Yeah.
** If you're wondering about Chatin: Yes, she does have a Love Dodecahedron worth of suitors. Her third suitor is another skunk, which is a subversion for this trope.
* In ''[[Vinci and Arty]]'', the titular couple consists of a male Raccoon and his Yumar (aquatic cheetah) mate, though they're not the only example in that comic.
* In ''[[Sluggy Freelance]]'' Riff starts hitting on [[Aliens|Aylee]] the moment she shifts from her dragon-like form to a [[Green-Skinned Space Babe]] (complete with [[Non-Mammal Mammaries]]). Torg was quite [[Squick|Squicked]] by this.
** Later, Riff explains it was only because when she was suddenly like a woman, he went on autopilot; under the indifferent surface, he has major issues with women and can't deal with most of them normally, but he still manages to get dates by looking cool (or something) and goes trough a lot of girlfriends.
** This is also how Leono {{spoiler|bred his wraith army}}. Aylee was the one to find this [[Squick|squicky]].
** While we've never seen him in an actual relationship, Bun-Bun (a rabbit) does show a sexual interest in human women. It's also [[Alternate Character Interpretation|debatable]] whether Kiki (a ferret) has romantic feelings for Bun-Bun, or if her affection for him is just part of her general [[Friend to All Living Things]] personality.
* Terinu has the alien title character falling for Gwen, a human girl his own age. In a canon text story by the comic's author, a human girl also apparently has a long running affair and eventually becomes engaged to a vulpine.
* The erotic webcomic ''[[Dreamwalk Journal]]'' is all about this. The planet Cyeatea is inhabited by numerous intelligent humanoid insect and arachnid species, all nude with exaggerated sexual characteristics including female [[Non-Mammal Mammaries]]. There's lots of sex between species (some of it in the form of ritual combat, eliminating the need for real warfare) and with a couple of visiting human women.
* In ''[[Everyday Heroes]]'', G-Nat (a [[Half-Human Hybrid|human/insect hybrid]]) and his girlfriend [http://www.webcomicsnation.com/eddurd/everydayheroes/series.php?view=single&ID=102169 Julia] (fully human victim of a [[Incredible Shrinking Man|shrinking experiment]]) are the proud parents of 137 bouncing baby [http://www.webcomicsnation.com/eddurd/everydayheroes/series.php?view=single&ID=115038 larvae].
* ''[[Fur Will Fly]]'' and ''[[Coming Up Violet]]'' have had more then a few interspecies (interracial?) romances, but interestingly enough, the only confirmed child resulting from such a union is a mouse(mom)/human(dad) hybird who has her mother's body, and [[Cloudcuckoolander|her dad's mind]].
* The bartender in ''[[Corner Alley 13]]'' is {{spoiler|the result of an interspecies romance between an ogre and a mermaid}}.
* In ''[[Gunnerkrigg Court]]'', Kat and Aly's relationship comes to an end when the latter [[Metamorphosis|transforms]] into a bird... Afterwards, Kat's [http://www.gunnerkrigg.com/archive_page.php?comicID=259 attraction] to feathers and beaks became a [[Running Joke]] popping up any time the subject of birds (or even [[Psychopomp|Psychopomps]] that look like birds) comes up.
{{quote|'''Kat:''' And this Muut guy... he ah... has an owl head and doesn't wear a shirt you say?
'''Antimony:''' Steady on there, girl!
'''Kat:''' Haha! }}
** Also, the fox Renard was smitten with the human Surma (who, considering that she married someone else, most likely didn't reciprocate). Renard also "[[Girl-On-Girl Is Hot|would be interested in watching]]" two human girls kiss. Annie's ancestor apparently fell for {{spoiler|1="[http://www.gunnerkrigg.com/archive_page.php?comicID=822 some manner of fire elemental]"}}.
{{quote|'''Coyote''': I admire man's ability to see beauty in ''everything''!}}
** Bob's wife Marcia is eventually revealed to be a Dryad.
* ''[[The Perry Bible Fellowship]]'' with [http://pbfcomics.com/?cid=PBF117-Bacon_Egg.gif Bacon Egg] and [http://pbfcomics.com/?cid=PBF069-Not_Today_Little_One.jpg Not Today Little One].
* ''[[Housepets]]'' has Sabrina (cat) and Fido (dog), but cat/dog relationships seem to be generally disliked by the neighborhood animals.
** Also, the one of the main characters, Peanut, has a crush on Grape, who is a cat.
*** A lot of fans pair King and Sasha together, even though King is a human that was transformed into a dog.
*** And on that subject, King has also developed a major crush on Fox's cousin Bailey, who is of course also a dog.
* [[Buck Godot]] subverts this. Buck dismisses Louisa, who is human, (albeit of a different sub-species), who has been modified to be irresistible to men as "too skinny". He also, when dropping in on his alien bartender's girlfriend sunbathing in the nude comments that "You aren't compatible with humans! I don't even know which bits I'm supposed to be looking at!"
** Of course, there's also the small issue that Hoffmanites like Buck, [[Heavyworlder|coming from a high-G world]], tend to find other humans "too fragile". Meanwhile, the above-mentioned Ms. Louisa Dem Five proudly runs a multi-species ''brothel''...
* From ''[[WTF Comics]]'': Anna & Smoke, Solkan & Vexana, Niami & Ngreth, and, possibly, Straha & Maguna.
* Benny, of ''[[Looking for Group]]'', is often called a "halfbreed", suggesting that her parents were of different species. However, since she was born in prison, the circumstances of her conception may have had very little to do with an actual relationship between her parents and more to do with the less savory aspects of prison life. Benny, herself, was at one point in a relationship with Sayl, a human, and some fans have speculated that there may be a future relationship between her and Cale, an elf.
** Benny's half breed status is confirmed in a dramatic reveal [http://lfgcomic.com/page/561 here.]
** [http://www.lfgcomic.com/page/290 The Benny-Cale pairing is now canon]. [http://www.lfgcomic.com/page/291 Canonically consummated, too].
* In ''[[Stubble Trouble]]'', most of the furry characters are in interspecies romances. A few of the characters like Rennon (fox/wolf), Ally (cat/fox), and Gynette (jackal/spider  {{spoiler|and demon}}) are hybrids from their respective parents.
* ''[[Sabrina Online]]'' is a rare case when many of the characters are hybrids of interspecies romance to begin with; Zig Zag had a Siberian tiger grandparent, resulting in her signature stripes, [[Species Surname|Thomas Wolf]] is actually only half wolf, but it was his mother that was the non-wolf fox, so his name is. More recently, pure skunk Sabrina is in a relationship with pure raccoon R.C., plus at one time had a rabbit [[Stalker with a Crush]]. More confusing is the relationship between married couple Thomas Wolf and Amy Squirrel, who have a boy named Timothy Wolf-Squirrel (who is also a quarter fox, remember).
* In an early arc on ''[[Fans]]'', Rumy falls in love with an alien that resembles a glowing square with two eyes (the aliens are nicknamed "Xenochicklets"). The Xenochicklet ultimately realizes that their species are incompatible.
** Not quite - it's just that the Xenochicklets reproduce ''mentally''. It turns out they only wanted her for her mind.
* In ''[[The Whiteboard]]'', there's Jake (skunk) and Pirta (snow leopard) as a couple. The other pairings so far have had both parts of each pair of the same species (or close enough, with two varieties of lynx dating).
* The titular character of [[The Kenny Chronicles]] is a fox with black and white catlike fur (apparently there was a wild party). Also most of his girlfriends that have been shown are either foxes or cats (not sure if either of those count), though one was also dating a dog.
** It seems likely that Kenny's half-brother Patrick is also a hybrid of some kind (what species is blue?)
** And now Kenny's dating  {{spoiler|as of the last comic married to}} a lemming, whose parents are baboons.
* ''[[Harkovast]]'' devotes an entire page to explaining the various implications of the various races forming romantic relationships.
* The entire plot of ''[[Twokinds]]'' is built around this trope.
* In ''[[Teh Gladiators]]'', a [[WoW]] webcomic, a murloc named Yolanda develops a crush on the human Vallant, which is most definitely not reciprocated. It doesn't stop her from smothering him with affection, going [[Berserk Button|berserk]] when he's hurt, or sparing his life after he's captured by the Lich King (something that turns out very poorly for the latter).
* ''[[Slightly Damned]]'' has Buwaro, a demon, and Kieri, an angel, [[Beast and Beauty|falling in love]]. This trope has resulted in numerous issues with their relationship.
* Style Wager uses this a lot, both in his PG rated comic ''[[Dela The Hooda]]'' and his more pornographic stuff. Dela, an anthropomorphic fox (a "Hooda"), is dating a human and has stated that some members of her species can interbreed with humans (and she has the gene).
* Elsseran (a fairy) and Corinn (a human) eloped, running to another world to hide and have kids. Corinn's brother Joralan went to find them, wound up meeting Lettie, and brought her back home as a bride. Fast forward to [[A Magical Roommate]]...
* Before the revision it was stated outright in [[Fuzzy Things]] that attraction to other species was equivalent to homosexuality, it is yet unclear if that was retained. Note though, that most of the original cast are paired with an opposite sex member of another species (granted they are [[Toy Ship|8 years old]]), but among the second generation cast (12 year olds) there is one [[Official Couple]] that are both foxes.
* [[All Trolls Are Different|Trolls]] and humans of ''[[Homestuck]]'' do have a history of this.
** [[Token Evil Teammate|Vriska]] and [[Blind Seer|Terezi]] are flirting with John and Dave, respectively.
** And this whole trope [[Squick|Squicks]] Karkat utterly.
***  {{spoiler|Which is ironic, since he used to have a [[Foe Yay]] crush on [[Ho Yay|John]]. That lasted for all of thirty seconds after they started talking.}}
*** And Karkat's latest conversation with Jade alternates between him kissing up to her and him flaming her (and him flaming himself), right after he told the human boys to stay away from the troll girls, which Dave lampshades.
** There is some fan speculation that the troll [[Lipstick Lesbian|Kanaya]] has an awkward adolescent crush on the human Rose, which Rose remains oblivious to.
** Eridan also has [[Foe Yay|blackrom]] feelings for Rose, who is pretty definitively uninterested. When he continued his hate-flirtation after she said no, she blew up his computer. (Which might actually come across as a romantic gesture from the trolls' perspective, since one of their major types of romance is based on passionately hating each other. [[Captain Obvious|Humans do not work that way.]])
* Almost all of the romance among the secondary characters in ''[[Problem Sleuth]]'' falls under this. A few of the pairings are Fiesta Ace Dick and the Demimonde Semigoddess, the Higgs Bozo and the whale, and the Weasel King's marriage to Madame Murel, not to mention Pickle Inspector's homoerotic attraction to [[Companion Cube|his fan]].
* Josh asked ''[[Frog Raccoon Strawberry]]'' to go out with him once, but she said that it would be too weird because he's a raccoon and she's a <s> raccoon in a frog costume</s> frog. Later, she ditches the frog costume and goes to see Josh,  {{spoiler|only to find him in a real interspecies romance with Pippi.}}
* In ''[[Concession]]'', [[Word of God]] is that species segregation has only recently officially stopped, but the cast seem to be making up for lost time, e.g. the [[Official Couple]] are a wolf and a cat, and other relationships include lemur/dinosaur, zebra/fox, and pangolin/skunk - even a briefly-appearing human customer with a guinea pig girlfriend. It's mentioned that the "Church of Gaia" are looked down upon for their advocation of [[But You Screw One Goat!|sex between furries and non-anthropomorphic animals]]. Thonnen, the last of an important bloodline of African dinosaurs, intentionally dates outside her species to annoy her family.
* Wales/New Zealand in ''[[Scandinavia and The World]]''. Sure, they're both countries, but here's the thing. Wales, like most of the countries, is human. New Zealand is a ''sheep''. [[But You Screw One Goat!|They even have a child together,]] [[Half-Human Hybrid|New South Wales.]]
* ''[[Sinfest]]'' gives us Criminy and Fuchsia, a [[Hollywood Nerd|bookish young man]] and a [[Succubus]]. Due to Criminy's [[Incorruptible Pure Pureness]], it's resulted in a [[High Heel Face Turn]] for Fyoosh, though the couple still has to deal with the disapproval of [[Big Red Devil|her old boss]] and [[Fantastic Racism]] of [[Knight Templar]] Seymour.
* Jason Love's ''[[Snapshots]]'' [https://web.archive.org/web/20110305221134/http://jasonlove.com/cartoons/00477-daily-cartoons-tree-hugger.gif on those tree-huggers].
* In ''[[Shadowgirls]]'', {{spoiler|Christmas Snow}}'s parents were a human man and a Deep One female who were genuinely in love. The comic itself is based on [[H.P. Lovecraft]]'s [[Cthulhu Mythos|"The Shadow Over Innsmouth"]], which Deconstructed this trope as [[Nausea Fuel]] (see "Literature" above).
* ''[[Minions At Work]]'' has supervillain [[Morally-Ambiguous Doctorate|Doctor]] [[Lizard Folk|Coldblood]], who [http://www.minionsatwork.com/2009/06/minions-168169-overlord-double-feature.html hates all mammals... but there's GOT to be the exception, right?]
* While ''[[Sequential Art]]'' doesn't have an "official" interspecies pairing, the subject doesn't seem terribly unheard of in-universe. There's no inkling of taboo about the possibility when Kat's old college friend mistakes her and Art for a couple (and Kat later admits that she does find Art attractive).
* ''[[Spacetrawler]]'':
** Dmitri just sees Shuar as [[Boldly Coming|a hot alien to sleep with]], but Shuar has genuinely fallen in love with him.
** Curn (a slimy, betentacled thing) and Oohlooh (a small, birdlike creatures). In this case, they're biologically incompatible--neither can breathe the atmosphere of the other's homeworld, and one or both of them would die if they touched each other.
* ''[[Drowtales]]'' references the idea with [https://web.archive.org/web/20150406194140/http://www.drowtales.com/mainarchive.php?sid=5314 a male drow called Val'Doom] who has a harem of human women that he tries to make babies with, even though fae and humans aren't capable of reproducing. This gets compared to bestiality since humans to drow are held to the same standard as chimpanzees are with humans.
** A notable subversion occurs with Mel'arnach and Zhor, a giant spider, who are often called this, but Zhor is in fact [[Was Once a Man|a dark elf who was transformed into a spider]], and as a result his children {{spoiler|including Ariel}} are full-blooded fae.
* This is a HUGE theme in [[Karate Bears]]. here are some examples. [http://www.karatebears.com/2011/12/sweet-nothings.html A] [http://www.karatebears.com/2012/01/dont-pick-up-phone.html B] [http://www.karatebears.com/2012/01/dining-etiquette.html C]
* [[Furry Webcomics]]:
** Every,
** Single,
** One,
** No Exceptions.
