== Live-Action TV ==
* ''[[Merlin (TV series)|Merlin]]'' has featured a hippogriph. This one didn't appear though.
{{quote| '''Arthur:''' It is said to have the body of a lion, the wings of an eagle and [[Blatant Lies|the... face of a... bear]].}}
** Also, since monsters in ''Merlin'' tend to be creatures from medieval heraldry or Arthurian legends, [[Mix-and-Match Critters]] appear at least twice a season.
* Alluded to on ''[[Degrassi the Next Generation]]'': Marco thinks bees are "like flying death monkeys".
Line 380:
** They were an entire sub-group when it came to the toyline. There were some weird combinations, but Injector took the cake as a lionfish/hornet. Injector is also one of the most ''notirous'' shelfwarmers of all time.
* ''[[South Park]]'' has done it several times, including the half-squirrel half-chicken, Scuzzlebutt (looks like Beast but has Patrick Duffy for a leg among other things...) and ManBearPig (although ManBearPig is supposedly fiction created by [[Strawman Political|Al Gore]]).
{{quote| '''Al Gore:''' Manbearpig is real! I'm SUPER cereal!}}
** And ''the'' [[Physical God|God]] is best described as hippo-cat with a lizard's tongue.
** Doubly subverted in one episode. They try to splice pig and elephant DNA, despite having heard that song by Loverboy. They don't get a pig/elephant hybrid. It looks like a normal pig. But...[[But You Screw One Goat!|its face looks like]] [[Depraved Homosexual|Mr. Garrison]].
Line 407:
* The "something that doesn't exist" from the ''[[Phineas and Ferb]]'' opening theme is a half-turtle, half-unicorn with webbed hind legs.
** The Bango-ru dolls from "The Chronciles of Meap: More than Meaps the Eye" are apparently like custom-made Wuzzles. Stacy orders an adorable bunny-bear, while Candace orders a Bango-ru that's half-cow, half-frog, which... didn't turn out so well.
{{quote| '''Candace:''' I just discovered why cows and frogs don't date.}}
** Also [[The Wizard of Oz|"The Wizard of Odd"]] had Buford as a combination Lion, Tiger and Bear.
{{quote| '''Candance, Jeremy and Baljeet:''' Oh my.<br />
'''Buford:''' [[If I Had a Nickel]] for every time I herd that... }}
* Alfe from ''[[The Problem Solverz]]'' is supposed to be part human, part dog, and part anteater, although he doesn't really resemble any of those.
