* Look at an old ''[[Dungeons & Dragons]]'' [https://web.archive.org/web/20131028210045/http://www.headinjurytheater.com/article73.htm Monster Manual] sometime. The Displacer Beast (a six-legged panther with tentacles on its shoulders that is never where you see it; interestingly, it was derived from Coeurl, the villain of a 1920s/1930s sci-fi short story) and Owlbear (guess!) spring to mind. The new Monster Manuals continue this fine tradition with such gems as the Howler Wasp (half-wasp, half-monkey) and Yak-People.
** A few more examples: some were specifically stated to be the result of wizard experiments, some had no origin given.
*** Chimera (1/3 red dragon, 1/3 lion and 1/3 giant goat... yeah, you heard me)
